Solomun +1 welcomed Jamie xx back to Pacha Ibiza on Sunday, July 12, reuniting renowned tastemakers whose musical relationship continues to develop both inside and outside the booth.
The evening marked Jamie xx‘s much-anticipated return to Solomun‘s celebrated residency, the first since August 2024. This event was yet another highlight in a season characterized by an eclectic mix of both longtime collaborators and fresh faces. It brought together some of the most exciting artists across the electronic music spectrum, enriching the Ibiza nightlife experience.
As their artistic rapport has evolved since their previous encounter, Solomun has added his touch to the ever-popular track “Waited All Night,” a highlight from Jamie xx’s acclaimed In Waves LP. His two remixes have further solidified their connection, making this reunion all the more electrifying for fans.
Charged with anticipation, the night kicked off with Jamie setting the tone with an engaging opening set. Following his performance, Solomun took over with his signature style, leading to an eventual back-to-back set that showcased a brilliant blend of their unique sounds. The night was a quintessential representation of the +1 concept: a shared experience where distinct styles create an exciting musical crescendo.
Jamie‘s set was an immersive journey that highlighted his artistry. He began with the warm and inviting sounds that have earned him a distinct reputation in the scene. Rather than rushing to an early climax, he skillfully drew the audience into his world, exploring his catalog with tracks like “Treat Each Other Right,” “KILL DEM,” and his collaboration with The Avalanches, “All You Children.” He artfully navigated through UK garage, jungle, and house influences, effortlessly weaving a tapestry of sound that resonated with the crowd.
As the night unfolded, both artists carved out their respective roles within the performance. Their individual approaches culminated in an exhilarating closure during the final B2B segment, where the synergy between their contrasting styles created a unique musical narrative, transcending what either could achieve alone.
The atmosphere peaked dramatically with the energetic remix of Daft Punk and Pharrell Williams‘s “Lose Yourself to Dance,” orchestrated by Nacho Penade. As the night transitioned to dawn, the track brought everyone to an exhilarating high, perfectly encapsulating the essence of the +1 experience.
Looking ahead, excitement swells for the upcoming event on Sunday, July 19, where Peggy Gou will join Solomun at Pacha Ibiza. This partnership has been highly anticipated and set to further enhance the already incredible lineup for the +1 residency. The collaboration continues with a stellar roster of guests, including Anyma, Dixon, DJ Gigola, Max Styler, Barry Can’t Swim, and KETTAMA, as the season rolls on through to October 4.
