A House Music Takeover in the Marina

Mark your calendars for Thursday, May 7. This isn't just a party; it is a declaration of intent for the summer season. The curation balances house music royalty with the scene’s most exciting fresh talent. Dennis Ferrer leads the charge. His soulful, heritage-rich sound defines the genre and guarantees a masterclass in groove. Expect pure euphoria when the First Lady of Defected, Sam Divine, takes the decks. She embodies the label's unshakeable spirit. The energy shifts gears with Eliza Rose. Known for her chart-topping vocal flair, she brings a unique crossover appeal to the intimate setting of Club Chinois. HoneyLuv adds that irresistible, bouncing US house rhythm to keep the floor moving. We also celebrate home-grown talent. Manu Gonzalez, an Ibiza local favorite, knows exactly how to work this crowd. Rising star Olive F completes this stellar roster, promising fresh selections. The mix of legends and new-school innovators creates a perfect storm.

"We are bringing the community together under one roof, celebrating the past, present, and future of house music."
