PAPER Magazine has published a new feature exploring the atmosphere of Solomun’s Sunday-night residency at Pacha Ibiza, taking readers inside one of the island’s established electronic music events through a first-person account of a night on the dancefloor.

Written by Bea Isaacson and published on 21 October 2026, “Getting Down and Dirty at Solomun’s Ibiza Residency” follows an evening at Pacha during the 2026 season, when the Bosnian-German DJ and producer once again brought a rotating selection of guest artists to the club.

Rather than presenting a conventional artist profile, the feature captures the energy of the venue, the crowd’s response to the music and the experience of watching the performance from inside the DJ booth.

A Night at Pacha with KETTAMA

The evening documented in the feature centred on KETTAMA, who performed alongside Solomun’s wider residency programme. Isaacson describes a packed dancefloor, the club’s lighting and sound system, and the movement of the crowd as the music continued through the night.

The account also highlights the connection between the DJ booth and the audience, with Solomun appearing alongside KETTAMA during the performance.

The article presents Pacha as a setting where different generations of electronic music fans come together, with the experience shaped as much by the crowd and atmosphere as by the artists behind the decks.

Solomun’s Approach to His Sunday Residency

In comments published by PAPER, Solomun describes Pacha as his home, explaining that years of performing there have allowed him to shape the nights around his own musical preferences.

The Solomun+1 concept brings a guest DJ into the programme on selected Sundays, creating opportunities for artists with different backgrounds and styles to share the evening. The feature mentions guests from the 2026 season including Peggy Gou, Barry Can't Swim, KETTAMA, DESIREE and Idris Elba.

Solomun also discusses his preference for extended solo performances. He told the magazine that he plays five all-night-long sets per season, taking responsibility for the music from beginning to end.

These different formats give the residency room to move between guest collaborations and longer performances focused entirely on Solomun’s own selections.

Solomun+1 and Ibiza’s 2026 Clubbing Season

The 2026 Solomun+1 residency ran at Pacha from 31 May to 4 October, occupying Sunday nights throughout the main summer season.

The format has been part of the club’s programme since 2013. Its approach combines extended sets with a guest-focused format, while keeping Solomun at the centre of each event.

Pacha, located in the Talamanca area near Ibiza Town, remains a prominent venue on the island’s electronic music calendar. The residency is one part of a wider summer programme that brings international DJs and different styles of electronic music to Ibiza.

A Glimpse Behind the Music

The feature concludes with a brief exchange about Solomun’s favourite Ibiza party memories. He explains that choosing one is impossible because there have been so many memorable nights, adding that some of the best stories are not meant to be shared publicly.

The response offers a fitting ending to a piece built around the experience of being inside a club rather than a conventional retrospective of an artist’s career.

With its first-person perspective, PAPER’s feature provides another account of the atmosphere surrounding Solomun’s long-running Pacha residency and the role the Sunday-night event continues to play in Ibiza’s clubbing culture.
