RESISTANCE Ibiza announces 2025 residency at Amnesia
Heralded as the world’s most international house and techno festival brand, ULTRA Worldwide’s esteemed underground series RESISTANCE stands at the forefront of innovation in the global underground music scene, bringing its visionary programming to more than 35 cities across all six inhabited continents—spanning stadium stages, international tours, and award-winning residencies.
Now, RESISTANCE announces its triumphant return to the White Isle this summer for RESISTANCE Ibiza 2025, reclaiming its status as a defining force in Ibiza nightlife with a nine-week residency at the world-famous Amnesia Ibiza, which remains as a haven for those who seek authentic clubbing.
Running every Wednesday from July 23 through September 17, 2025, RESISTANCE Ibiza 2025 will be anchored by Season Residents Adam Beyer and ARTBAT, who will deliver weekly headlining performances, rotating between Amnesia’s immersive Main Room and emblematic sky-roof Terrace—ensuring each night stands as its own distinct sonic voyage. Both Adam Beyer and ARTBAT have become fixtures across RESISTANCE’s international stages; headlining events in far-flung cities like Seoul, Split, Tokyo, and Santiago, commanding the decks of Ultra Music Festival’s iconic RESISTANCE MegaStructure, and selling out shows at RESISTANCE Miami‘s M2 residency.
RESISTANCE Ibiza 2025 will deliver its signature blend of cutting-edge programming, state-of-the-art production, and immersive audiovisual experiences – the same elements that earned the residency DJ Awards’ coveted ‘Best Ibiza Night’ 2018 accolade.
In 2017, RESISTANCE launched its first-ever club residency at the world’s largest nightclub, Privilege Ibiza, quickly establishing itself as a cornerstone of the island’s nightlife. Over three banner seasons, RESISTANCE Ibiza orchestrated a series of never-before-seen, “you-had-to-be-there” moments in house and techno history. Highlights include the global-debut B2B set from techno titans Carl Cox and Maceo Plex, as well as the first-ever B3B performance from Nicole Moudaber, Dubfire, and Paco Osuna, whose marathon set during the 2017 Season Closing Party instantly became a defining moment in RESISTANCE lore.
RESISTANCE Ibiza also lays claim to reuniting the legendary duo of Sasha and John Digweed for an exclusive 2017 season residency. This partnership marked the pair’s first Ibiza appearances together since 2009, and their first club residency in more than 15 years—a momentous return to form not seen since their fabled tenure at Twilo New York ended in 2001.
In 2023, ULTRA Worldwide unveiled its debut U.S. club residency – RESISTANCE Miami– in the festival’s Miami Beach hometown at nightlife haven M2 Miami, transporting RESISTANCE’s signature immersive clubbing experience from Ibiza to America for the very first time. Now in its acclaimed second season, RESISTANCE Miami’s six-month, Saturday night residency has become a staple of the city’s house and techno culture, notching more than 30 sold-out shows, and showcasing headlining performances from underground luminaries like Boris Brejcha, Carl Cox, Eric Prydz, Charlotte de Witte, CamelPhat, Joris Voorn, Mind Against, and Amelie Lens.
The 2025 Ibiza residency brings the story full circle as RESISTANCE debuts at Amnesia—the venue that hosted ULTRA Worldwide’s first Ibiza event in 2007. A momentous reunion nearly 20 years in the making, RESISTANCE Ibiza 2025 will transform Amnesia’s hallowed architecture into multisensory spectacles all season long, showcasing the large-scale productions, top-of-the-line visual design, and transcendent soundscapes that have come to define the RESISTANCE brand globally.
Today’s RESISTANCE Ibiza 2025 announcement also marks the launch of RESISTANCE’s revolutionary, yearlong global club residency program, creating an unprecedented circuit of clubbing experiences from Miami to the Mediterranean. This first-of-its-kind format bridges RESISTANCE’s acclaimed U.S. club presence in Ultra’s hometown of Miami Beach, with its award-winning Ibiza residency, merging two of dance music’s most iconic destinations into a singular, transcontinental movement.
Few brands, if any, have successfully established such a cohesive, continuous club presence across multiple continents, making RESISTANCE a trailblazer in its own right. By uniting two of the world’s most iconic nightlife destinations under one visionary brand, RESISTANCE sets a new benchmark for underground clubbing culture.

Rising spanish star Crusy steps in to deliver steamy dance floor edit of ‘Baila Conmigo’ by STBAN out via Flamenca Records.
Pulsating with sultry Latin heat and perfectly primed for summertime dance floors, rising Spanish star Crusy delivers a steamy edit of label boss STBAN’s original single ‘Baila Conmigo’, out August 1st on FLAMENCA Records via Toolroom.
The Madrid-based producer shows natural restraint with his edit, resisting any urge to go for obvious drops, instead building the tension slowly but surely. Allowing the original topline to drift in and out of the production, Crusy gradually adds an almost intimate level of energy, layering warm guitars, undulating keyboard chords and chugging percussion. The result is a track that begs the body to move, designed to bring music fans onto the dance floor to groove together. It’s a remix perfectly in step with STBAN’s vision to bring Flamenco and Latin House to the masses.
“I’ve fallen in love with Flamenco,” Crusy said, “its hypnotic Spanish voice and purely Spanish chords stir something deep in my soul. It’s not just music; it’s emotion in its rawest, most beautiful form. Being able to remix it and put my own touch there was a challenge but I am very proud of the reaction every time I play it in a day time event.”
Supported by the likes of Carl Cox, Dom Dolla, Nic Fanciulli, Louie Vega, James Hype, Fatboy Slim, Adam Beyer and John Summit, Crusy has more than made a name for himself in an extremely small space of time. Releasing standout tracks on Toolroom, including ‘Karma’, ‘El Baso’, ‘Attracted’ and ‘Unknown’, as well as singles on Defected, Hot Since 82’s Knee Deep In Sound, Franky Wah’s Shen, Hugel’s Make The Girls Dance and Dombreski’s Process, he now joins the FLAMENCA Records family, adding the ‘Baila Conmigo’ remix as the latest chapter in his growing story.
