About Hernán Cattáneo
Active for over three decades, Hernán Cattáneo is one of dance music's most championed and evergreen, yet equally humble artists. In summer 2024, El Maestro embarks on a mini-series of three parties, taking over Las Dalias by day followed by Akasha at night.
Hernán always kept his Ibiza appearances limited, guesting at other parties despite a diehard fanbase that has long warranted a party in his own name. After so many years, the dance music community rejoices at that glaring omission finally being put right.

When?
Friday 19 July | 19:00 to 23:00 in Las Dalias' garden and then 23:00 to 05:00 inside Akasha
Coming into July things are really starting to hot up - both in terms of temperature and the wealth of party options. Such great weather lends itself to outdoor partying. After all, dancing in the open air is what made Ibiza's party scene legendary in the first place.
Where?
Las Dalias is officially Ibiza's oldest music venue, having opened its doors back in 1948. At the time, the dictator General Franco was still ruling Spain. All non-native music was essentially banned under his regime, so Las Dalias has always been a rebellious outlier - and remains so.
Since late 2021, Las Dalias has also been serviced by its own intimate on-site club. Akasha is a 300-person capacity space with a centrally positioned DJ booth, amazing acoustics, and an organic km0 interior.
After we finish outside, the lucky (or fastest!) few who managed to secure full-access tickets spill into Akasha and go all through the night.
Who?
Adored in his Argentina homeland, Hernán Cattaneo is globally respected as one of dance music's most consistent artists.
Whether playing, producing, remixing or releasing music via his Sudbeat imprint Hernán is passionate in all that he does, displaying an unwavering commitment to showcasing high-quality music that is often hard to pigeon-hole, yet still instantly recognisable as his signature sound.
Hernán won't be the only veteran present. Extolled with almost supernatural powers with the "if god was a DJ..." comparisons, Sasha rose to prominence in the '90s and has remained relevant ever since. To many, he's considered the scene's original superstar.
Much like Hernán, his label Last Night On Earth is a modern-day reference point within Progressive House circles.
Sasha has played just about everywhere in Ibiza, but as an islander himself, he makes no secret of his love for Las Dalias. It has a vibe like no other, and the chance to catch not one but two legendary DJs on the same night is an unmissable opportunity.
Sasha is also a specialist of the back-to-back format. His impressive list of booth partners includes John Digweed, Franky Wah, Joris Voorn, Kölsch and soon-to-be one more.
Why?
We'll make this quick and easy. Because...
- two Progressive House masters for the price of one: Hernán Cattáneo and Sasha are legendary DJs
- they unite for a rare extended back-to-back - we can only imagine the music they will conjure between them
- the chance to dance outside, first under the sun and then under the stars, should be savoured
- the hippy spirit in San Carlos lives on - and it's magic!
- Las Dalias is off the beaten track and far removed from Ibiza's commercial club scene of the south - this is about as authentic as it's possible to get
- consistently regarded one of the best crowds on the island
- you can party with the Argentinian contingent! They are vocal and always in high spirits, no matter where they gather in the world to dance - and Ibiza's has a sizeable community ready to support their countryman.
- hot food options available on-site or nearby: food trucks, the adjacent Las Dalias Café and the new restaurant PaloSanto
