Octan Ibiza's weekly programme is starting to take shape. Unlike past years, where the venue has stuck to a consistent sound, things are much more varied in 2022.
The underground club in Playa d'en Bossa has an array of interesting nights in store for us. Let's check out what the quirky venue has on offer so far this season.
ENCORE | Sundays
Starting with its bread and butter. A new party, but one with a sound that is very familiar to this club: ENCORE. Recently confirming the line-ups for every date, ENCORE hosts a who's who in the Deep-Tech and Tech House sphere.
Pretty much anyone you could hope to be making an appearance behind the decks, is. Names like DJ W!LD, tINI, Stefano Noferini and Sweely jump out at us.
From the second week in July, Octan also opens The Lab to accommodate the growing number of tourists on the island.
New additions to the line-up include Skream playing all night long on 14 August, Real Gang Soundsystem being added to 31 July and and night of melodic Techno on 4 September.
Traumer Invites looks after this weekend's opening party with Romanians Raresh, Priku and Gescu. Full listings and tickets can be found below.
La Troya | Wednesdays
The authentic heartbeat of the gay community here on Ibiza, La Troya has been one the island's most legendary gay parties over the last few decades. Down the year's it attained status, fronted by the instantly recognisable, one-of-a-kind Baby Marcelo.
La Troya was homeless after the demise of HEART, but has been used to a roaming existence. We always knew it would find a new home and that new home is Octan. Wherever Baby Marcelo lays her wig is home...
Despite being a LGBTQ+ party at heart, La Troya always attracts a mixed crowd no matter anybody's orientation and lifestyle.
We can't wait to see how it adjusts to its new surroundings. TICKETS & INFO
Goldie | Thursdays in August
Drum & Bass and Jungle pioneer Goldie MBE has been snapped up by Octan for what will be, perhaps unbelievably, his first ever Ibiza residency. The legendary owner of Metalheadz is taking over Octan on Thursdays in August for an unforeseen, but eye-catching mini residency.
He's such a geezer, even the Queen recognised his services to music.
With few D&B nights on the island, there really is no one better to bring you one than the phenomenon himself. Completely diversifying the weekly programme, Goldie promises eclectic sets of Breakbeat, Acid House, Techno, Ambient and bags of D&B, Jungle and Liquid.
Stick a pin in 4, 11, 18 and 25 August to catch the man like Goldie. TICKETS & INFO
Already well underway, Octan's new Saturday night party Urban Club Culture is your fixture for hot, steamy and in your face rap music. Yet again mixing things up, it features the best in Hip-Hop, Trap and Reggaeton each and every weekend. TICKETS & MORE INFO
