If Maceo Plex needed any proof that his breed of brooding, ethereal techno has a place in Ibiza, he only has to reflect on how his first artist-led residency smashed its debut season in 2016. Mosaic by Maceo took Pacha down to a whole new level of the underground, and it was back for round two in 2017.
Retaking the Tuesday slot at Pacha, it returned for another marathon summer season with 20 dates in the calendar, and it all kicked off on 30 May before reaching a climactic close on Wednesday 11 October when Maceo was joined by Ben Klock.
On taking an eager look at his line-ups, we spotted a solid selection of returning guests, including Adam Beyer, Virginia, Steffi, DJ Koze, Pearson Sound, Stephan Bodzin (live), Paranoid London, Carl Craig, Daniel Avery, Shall Ocin, Joy Orbison and Bicep (live). Booked in for their first taste of Maceo's Mosaic venture in Ibiza were Rødhåd, Mano Le Tough, Levon Vincent, Henrik Schwarz, Moodymann, Recondite, Derek Plaslaiko, Anthony Parasole and Tale Of Us.
In continuing his mission of bringing the island fresh meat, those making their island debuts included Jon Hopkins, Palms Trax, Röyksopp and Aurora Halal, among more.
His first year, he embarked on his residency ambitions while having never spun at Pacha before, but last season he came knowing exactly what makes this iconic club tick.
We were in for another deadly summer with Maceo manning the controllers.
