James Hype, Meduza & Fin DAC Blend Music & Art For “Our House” Residency At Hï Ibiza
James Hype & Meduza have collaborated with leading Irish street artist Fin DAC as part of the duo’s “Our House” residency at Hï Ibiza, the world’s #1 nightclub.
James Hype and Meduza kick off their ‘Our House’ summer residency at the world-renowned Hï Ibiza with an exclusive artistic collaboration by acclaimed Irish street artist Fin DAC. The partnership features a bespoke mural, original artworks, and limited-edition prints, celebrating the unmatched energy and creativity of the residency in the club’s iconic Theatre space.
As part of the high-profile launch of James Hype and MEDUZA’s ‘Our House’ summer residency on Monday night’s at the world’s number one nightclub Hï Ibiza, acclaimed artist Fin DAC has unveiled a celebratory collection and bespoke body of work in its honour.
This one-of-a-kind series including a mural, original artworks and limited edition prints celebrates the groundbreaking innovative residency set to electrify the club’s main space, The Theatre, with a fresh and unforgettable energy. Fusing DJing, live piano, cutting-edge MIDI controls, and spontaneous performance energy, the relentless innovation of MEDUZA continues with hybrid-live concept MEDUZA3, as James Hype debuts his explosive new visual performance concept, SYNC. Hype’s actions on the decks will seamlessly synchronise with an array of light cues on the LED booth to showcase and illustrate his next-level technical skills, high-intensity energy like never before.
This art-meets-music collision, taking place over the seasonal months of June, July, August and September 2025 showcases a far reaching and unifying collaboration of truly top tier artists. Within their respective creative pursuits; Fin DAC, the globetrotting Irish mural master, Hï IBIZA; the number one nightclub for the last four years and James Hype and MEDUZA; two of the biggest global DJs, each party sits nearly peerless at their top of their games.
Expertly overseen by Club Class Music Management, the curators of unforgettable nightlife and West Contemporary – leading art concierge and consultancy, each arm of this union injects a standard of excellence that makes for a fascinating link up with Fin DAC tasked with creating the visuals to amplify and promote the ‘Our House’ club night.
Ibiza-watchers have already noticed the unmistakable marks of Fin DAC’s well-used spray cans as the veteran of over 150 murals across the world has already nailed his creative mast to the wall by painting ‘Ultra’. This 30ft x 30ft female portrait mural, equipped with his trademark painted mask, now adorns the side of the Hï IBIZA premises, purposefully placed so that it immediately faces the soon-to-be-full queues of revellers lining up to complete their club pilgrimage to the world’s very best. Over the coming months, four of Fin DAC’s artworks and characters, titled ‘Delta’, ‘Ultra’, ‘Exciter’ and ‘Violater’ will be the lead images of ‘Our House’, promoting the innovative live show at the club, with the expected levels of creative excellence befitting of such a major link up.
As part of the process, Fin DAC created images of James Hype and MEDUZA wearing his famous masks for the important show posters – a first for the artist. Original artworks and limited editions will be both on display and available to purchase over the summer season, with only 50 editions of each image created by an artist known for selling out entire collections of works within minutes of release. Each hand-signed and numbered print has a uniquely hand drawn tattoo and artist logo.
We had the pleasure of chatting with Fin DAC about everything that went behind this project.
How does your understanding of DJ culture shape the artworks you’ve created for James Hype and MEDUZA’s ‘Our House’ residency?
It was imperative. Having been a Dj myself and also an avid consumer of the marketing and visuals associated with clubs and dance music, I was perfectly placed to reinterpret that in an up-to-date style while still having touch points to my own music and clubbing days.
The residency blends DJing, live piano, and brand new visual performances. How did you translate that energy into your mural and the limited edition pieces?
To be honest the guys gave me free rein to do whatever I wanted. They understood that as a former DJ and regular to the White Isle, I had absorbed more than my fair share of clubbing history. I think they also wanted to ensure that the visuals were served as an accompaniment to the main course and rightfully wouldn’t take any attention away from the new live shows.
‘Ultra,’ your 30x30ft mural at Hï Ibiza, already greets thousands of clubbers nightly. What was the inspiration behind this particular piece and its placement at the club?
I wanted the punters to get a small idea of the energy and spectacle within by walking past the mural as they queued. We knew Hi Ibiza would be lighting the mural so in my head I had the hope that it would become a bit of an Instagram spot for those clubbers to capture a moment. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that will come to fruition.
Creating posters of James Hype and MEDUZA wearing your signature masks is a first for you. How did it feel to blend your imagery with these artist identities?
Being as I have a fairly recognisable brand, it was important to have some connection between what I do and what they do. Putting masks on the guys was an obvious and simple solution. The promo shots have a Bohemian Rhapsody feel to them so that’s very pleasing to me. I’ve had a thing for iconic album covers since my youth and I’ve included many in my works over the years.
What role do you think visual art plays in enhancing the nightclub experience, especially at a residency such as ‘Our House’?
For me music and visuals are symbiotic. One can exist without the other but together they become much more than their individual parts. James and Meduza’s forward thinking within that realm is why I considered this the perfect collaboration.
These will be available by West Contemporary Editions, beginning in June.

Today, the festival welcomes more than 60,000 attendees from around the world and presents over 90 artists annually across six stages spanning the beach, rooftops, the Palais des Festivals and the open sea.
Set between the Bay of Cannes and the Croisette, the festival has become a defining symbol of summer in the South of France with an immersive experience from beach sunsets to late-night afterparties inside the Palais.
The 20th anniversary edition will celebrate the festival’s heritage while pushing forward with enhanced production, new stage concepts, special collaborations and commemorative moments honouring two decades of creativity and connection.
In August 2026, the Croisette will once again transform into one of Europe’s biggest dancefloors as the countdown begins for the festival’s most anticipated edition yet.
