The Story of [UNVRS] Year One

jue. 18 dic 2025

Year One: Complete. Debrief initiated.

The dust has settled and it’s time to look back on the momentous first year of [UNVRS].

The doors opened on 30th May to stratospheric fanfare with [UNVRS] - The Opening, a party that set the bar sky high. The towering lineup was Adam Ten B2B Mita Gami, Ahmed Spins, CARISTA, Carl Cox B2B Jamie Jones, Joseph Capriati B2B The Martinez Brothers, Michael Bibi, and Salomé Le Chat. A night that Welcome To Ibiza described as an “authentic electronic odyssey of more than 13 hours of unlimited enjoyment.”

From that night onwards, [UNVRS] had officially landed.

Throughout the season, the week at [UNVRS] started with Eric Prydz and his revolutionary Holosphere 2.0 show. Mondays were home to an audio-visual masterpiece five years in-the-making. The Swedish progressive house innovator took the audience on a kaleidoscopic journey aided by 3D holographic effects, custom animations, and otherworldly electronics. He shared the stage with Rivo and J Ribbon each week, while Bender and Coco & Breezy shared the duties of the Wild Corner. Those who experienced Holosphere 2.0 will attest that it was a leap forward in live electronic music. So much so that Eric Prydz made a three-part documentary about the planning, the build, and the execution of it.

Tuesdays hosted the full-spectrum artistry of Anyma. Describing the residency, Anyma said, “Perception fractures, the real blurs with the unreal, and a transformative universe begins to take shape. A quantum odyssey at the intersection of music, art, and technology.” And the Italian powerhouse wasn’t alone in this expedition. Anyma handpicked lineups each week which included Adriatique, Amelie Lens, Dom Dolla, John Summit, Layla Benitez, Paul Kalkbrenner (Live), and Solomun among others.

On 5th August, Anyma’s Tuesday residency went to another level. His special guest that week was the hip-hop tour de force, Travis Scott. The combination of Anyma’s captivating soundscapes and Travis Scott’s high-octane performance made for a jaw-dropping experience. A moment when people realised that at [UNVRS] anything could happen.

The midweek party belonged to Jamie Jones and Paradise. The Sands of Solaris residency was created for [UNVRS] and was Paradise’s most ambitious concept yet. It combined premium house and tech house, with a cosmic aesthetic, megalithic disco ball and all-engulfing production that bathed the audience in a mesmerising light. Jamie Jones played blinding sets weekly and brought along an impenetrable crew of scene heroes, trailblazers and rising comets. This list of heavy hitters included Chelina Manuhutu, Chris Stussy, Fleur Shore, Joseph Capriati, Marco Carola and The Martinez Brothers.

Those lucky enough to be there on 27th August caught a special B2B2B between Jamie Jones, Hot Since 82 and Archie Hamilton. Only at [UNVRS].

On Thursdays a portal to the world of FISHER opened up and swallowed us whole. The Australian tech house titan took flight, quite literally, every week and left the audience in awe. Flying through the air on cables, beaming with rockstar energy, the man behind “Losing It” and “Atmosphere” brought his unbridled party vibrations to [UNVRS]. Throughout the residency, the likes of Chris Lake, Eliza Rose, Loco Dice, Luciano and Paco Osuna, joined him to fill the club with the very best house, techno, and everything in between.

One of the biggest names in electronic music kicked off the weekend each week during Year One. David Guetta concocted a unique residency especially for [UNVRS]. Guetta, DJ Mag’s #1 DJ in the World 2025, described this brand new residency, Galactic Circus, as, “The result of complete creative freedom, pushing boundaries in ways that simply wouldn’t be possible anywhere else”. Fridays were a gateway to the unknown, a vivid futuristic circus and secret haven for rebels and renegades on the outer rim of the galaxy. Immersive production paired with melodic and progressive house courtesy of the likes of Agents Of Time, James Hype, Miss Monique, and MORTEN.

Saturdays were all about elrow. With four rotating themes, the tastemaking electronic music brand and label opened up netherworlds of geometric creatures, psychedelic robotics, and fantastical environments. Amongst the dazzling colours and high-end production, elrow offered up a powerful mix of techno and house. Throughout the season they ignited [UNVRS] with the help of Cloonee, Green Velvet, Sam Divine, Tini Gessler and many more.

Sundays at [UNVRS] were under the command of Carl Cox. One of the most in-demand DJs in the scene, a veteran of acid house, a champion of techno, and a dance music pioneer. After years away, Carl returned to Ibiza to become part of the [UNVRS] story. Over the summer he played blistering B2Bs with ANNA, Green Velvet, Joseph Capriati, Loco Dice, The Martinez Brothers, Nic Fanciulli, PAWSA, and Vintage Culture. On top of that, on the 27th July he decided to play a monumental seven-hour set to celebrate his birthday.

In Year One there was also a curated selection of special, one-off events. The genre-defying Dutch duo ANOTR landed on 15th June as part of their On A Trip world tour. Charlotte de Witte brought her raw, high-impact techno on 22nd September. DJ Mag took over the club on 30th September for their Top 100 DJs award ceremony, with David Guetta being crowned Number 1 DJ and playing a masterful set. Klangkuenstler and his OUTWORLD concept took us on a cinematic journey through techno on the 15th September. [UNVRS] was transformed into an art utopia when No Art took over on 28th September, and Sara Landry put our sound system through its paces with her hard techno and her acclaimed ETERNALISM concept.

It all came to an end on 12th October with a Closing Party for the ages. ANOTR, Anyma, Black Coffee, Peggy Gou, Rampa, Salomé Le Chat and Vintage Culture pushed the capabilities of [UNVRS] into overdrive for one last time. Thousands came to marvel at the spectacle of sight and sound, and celebrate the transformative power of Ibiza’s new club.
