Memories of a legendary 2022 still loom large, but Ushuaïa and Hï Ibiza are already looking forward to raising the bar in 2023. On Saturday 29th April, they will launch into another unmissable season with a joint opening party THE SIGNAL.

Tickets are on sale now at ibizaopenings.com.
Founder and CEO of both venues Yann Pissenem says: “After a hugely successful return to Ibiza last summer, we’re excited to unveil our joint day and night launch party this summer. We’ve put everything into making sure that the line is worthy of an Ibiza opening party, featuring an incredible mix of our residents DJs, favourite artists and emerging talents. The whole team is getting ready to kick off another great season, and it all starts with this huge dual opening party. We can’t wait to see you there.”
The much anticipated new season officially gets underway at Ushuaïa Ibiza where global electronic tastemaker and Platinum-selling artist Eric Prydz will blend well-crafted melodies with deep techno grooves and a storytelling DJ style that makes him a firm Ushuaïa favorite. German techno titan Paul Kalkbrenner will perform live, bringing his powerful and all-consuming sound, and Ellum Audio boss Maceo Plex brings his cosmic take on techno to Ushuaïa Ibiza’s now legendary sound system. Add in Massano, Kevin De Vries, and SYREETA and you have a stunning opening soundtrack.
As night falls, head over to Hï Ibiza where the Theatre is set to play host to future-facing back-to-back sets with club regulars, including famously energetic pair The Martinez Brothers playing with Desolat label head and Ibiza mainstay Loco Dice, and GRAMMY Award-winning house kingpin Black Coffee playing alongside Mochakk. Damian Lazarus b2b Chloé Caillet will be a showcase of all things mystic and deep, with further sets from Chicago house mainstay Honey Dijon, breakout Dutch talent Chris Stussy bringing his slick and spaced-out grooves, and West African-born AMÉMÉ laying down his Afro-leaning rhythms.
The Hï Ibiza Club room will play host to pure techno from Spain’s Paco Osuna, along with thundering big room techno from Adam Beyer. Nervous Records and REKIDS associate Anfisa Letyago brings potent club cuts, there’s energizing hybrid sounds from Berlin-based Patrick Mason and an Ibiza-debut from Spanish selector Indira Paganotto. In the Wild Corner, meanwhile, Ibiza favourites Melon Bomb will be laying down underground house and disco cuts all night long.
Created by The Night League, Ushuaïa Ibiza and Hï Ibiza are two of the most recognisable and respected clubs in the world, offering unique and incomparable electronic music experiences based on pioneering high-spec production. The ultimate adult playground, Ushuaïa Ibiza is famous for its iconic open-air pool stage and unforgettable stage shows and production, whilst Hï Ibiza, voted World’s No.1 Club in the DJ Mag top 100 Clubs Awards 2022, is the global benchmark for cutting edge clubbing.

Continuing his remarkable 2025, Jason Busteed has dropped yet another amazing single with the euphoric ‘Paradise.’
Released on his own label Lefty Shades Records, ‘Paradise’ is a joyous dance pop track packed with clever production tricks from the Cork-based DJ. Right from the off the vocals are entrancing featuring excellent layers of texture thanks to Busteed’s smart use of effects, namely delay. The implementation of vocal chops as part of the beat is inspired, adding to the already fantastically funky rhythm. Once the bouncy, sun-soaked chord progression kicks in there’s no stopping the feel-good energy from flowing. From the first second to the last ‘Paradise’ makes you smile and dream of days on the beach in the sun.
Busteed is coming off the back of his biggest release yet with ‘Slip Away’ receiving over 15,000 streams on Spotify and earning acclaim from outlets such as YourEDM and Earmilk. As well as being a demon in the studio, he’s also enjoyed an illustrious career behind the decks with over 2 decades of experience. His skills in production and DJing have rightfully earnt him performances at the home of house music, Ibiza. Busteed has performed at some of Ibiza’s most iconic venues including Café Mambo, Bora Bora Beach, and Ocean Drive. To call him accomplished feels like an understatement.
Jason Busteed is an already well-established name but he’s forever growing bigger and stronger within the dance music scene. ‘Paradise’ is a wonderful display of his production chops that is sure to bring joy to crowds around the world. Summer may be over, but the summer vibes aren’t gone, and ‘Paradise’ is here to bring some warmth to the winter.
