Maceo Plex's Ibiza stints have taken centre stage at Circoloco, ENTER and most recently, HYTE where he held a mini residency alongside Loco Dice. So, it's only logical that with him having a big presence on the island, the rumour mill would take a furious spin into a fantasy dimension where he'd be stood at the gates of his own party. On this date, 11th February, our deepest, darkest techno desires have danced into reality as we can announce that Pacha is set to be the home for his FIRST artist-led residency on the island.
Mosaic by Maceo has been given the Tuesday slot at the Ibiza institution for 19 weeks, kicking off from the opening on 24th May through 4th October. While he's never played at Pacha, he's stopped in on observation duties and liked what he saw, heard and felt. Turning down an opportunity with Pacha three years on the trot, now the time is right for the Barcelona based DJ boss. A mosaic, as you'll probably already know, is a piece of art which is formed with small fragments of coloured material, and while it commonly refers to visual art, Maceo Plex plans to project the fragmented concept to our ears by uniting an array of musical colours. His vision is to go against the grain by drafting in, alongside typical Ibiza DJs, the craftsmanship of DJs you may need an introduction to. Absolutely nothing better than an updated education when it comes to what we put into our ears eh?
No other artists have been announced yet, but regarding Mosaic's policy, Plex is championing the simple yet effective recipe with “good music, interesting decor, lighting that fits the music (dark and warm) and an interesting array of label showcases and takeovers that extend beyond Ibiza's current repertoire of sound."
If we could communicate the buzz we're feeling for this one with a self portrait created appropriately in mosaic form, it would be absolutely mental.
Tickets coming soon.
