Solid Grooves

For movers and for groovers, Micheal Bibi and PAWSA’s famed Solid Grooves motel is back for its third season at DC-10, every Thursday.

Since head honcho Michael Bibi's heartbreaking cancer diagnosis earlier last summer, Solid Grooves has continued to unite ravers from all over the world, with prayers and parties thrown all over the world in honour of the man himself.

Now, with the incredible news of receiving the all clear, it's looking likely that we can expect Bibi to return to DC-10 this summer alongside fellow brand ambassador PAWSA.

The weekly all-night session is born of Bibi and PAWSA’s London-born label, with the imprint’s meticulous curation of tech fusions, off-the-wall house, minimal techno, and certified solid beats that are reflected in their incredible weekly line-ups.

Label co-founder PAWSA is on hand to drop tech-house hits, meanwhile roster resident Dennis Cruz brings the bunker atmosphere with minimal cuts, with other firm favorites including ANOTR, Guti, Enzo Sirugusa, Blackchild, Silvie Loto, Toman and more being just a few of the names to have donned the decks at Solid Grooves in seasons gone by.

You can also count on a few stellar back-to-back DJ sets throughout the summer calendar, often with Bibi himself often bringing in surprise guests to perform with.

Having been around Ibiza for a few years, but with its DC-10 inception only commencing in summer of the 2022, Solid Grooves has amassed a fiercely loyal following. FCUK THE FAKES, Solid Grooves’ 2019 season concept, took the island by storm with its rebellious kickback against Ibiza’s more glamorised club culture with their sweaty, jam-packed, authentic underground raves.

Solid Grooves gained its reputation as one to test a raver’s endurance as a former resident of the world’s largest nightclub, Privilege, before its closure in 2022.

From dusk until dawn every Sunday, the grooves gang would gather in their masses in Privilege’s glass-paned Vista Club until the sun rose over Dalt Vila in the distance, and daylight shone on the decks: core memory moments.

Located at the end of Ibiza’s airport runway, the once humble farmhouse is now a hedonistic hotspot for the famed Circoloco, which takes place every Monday throughout summer.

When the Solid Grooves family are in town, the party might start on Thursday, but it never ends. Leave trends and prejudices at the door because Solid Grooves is all about the music in the moment.

Gray Area Tip: Solid Grooves is known for its season opening and closing parties, and are known to pop off on another level, with after-parties in surprise villa locations are almost guaranteed. It's all about who you know!
