Solomun +1 welcomed KETTAMA to Pacha Ibiza on Sunday, September 20, for a first-ever B2B that put their contrasting musical instincts to work in the same booth. The residency has long defined itself through unexpected collaborations behind the decks, always giving the artists the time and freedom to discover the common ground between their sounds. That same spirit carried through to one of the season’s most musically dynamic nights, keeping the dancefloor locked in through sunrise and carrying the residency’s momentum into its final two weeks.
KETTAMA opened the night, bringing his unrivaled sense of hard-hitting house and ’90s rave melodies to the Pacha floor. Hearing him and Solomun individually could have made for a full night on its own, but their first-ever B2B gave this particular Sunday an extra layer of shine. Their performance was a musical melting pot few could have anticipated, yet their two distinct tastes proved surprisingly well suited to the same sonic recipe. Selections from both ends of the spectrum found a synergetic groove, leaving the dancefloor well fed by the time morning broke.
With guests including Jamie xx, DJ Gigola, Idris Elba, and Skrillex, this season has shown just how much range a seemingly simple format can accommodate. More than a decade into its run at Pacha, +1 continues to give each guest a meaningful hand in shaping one of the island’s longest-standing Sunday fixtures. Âme joins Solomun on September 27 before the host takes sole control for the season’s all-night-long closing party on October 4.
