Starting May and an expansive summer ahead, Pacha Ibiza delivered Adam Ten and Mita Gami, the minds behind Maccabi House. The legendary club known for its glamour and history hosted a one-night sonic detour from the expected. Bringing the Tel Aviv-rooted label collective to the island for the first time, they dropped a standout set that was anything but conventional.
The duo launched into their performance with a confident disregard for genre boundaries. What followed was a seamless blend of house, tribal rhythms, electronica, and deep, churning bass. This wasn’t a night of predictable drops or overworked builds—instead, they carved out an unpredictable journey that bent time on the dancefloor. Their music moved like awave, undulating between tension and release, luring dancers into an altered state of motion.
The crowd was noticeably diverse and deeply engaged, reacting not just to the energy but to the nuance. Moments of minimalist restraint melted into lush crescendos, with each shift in tempo or texture met by roars of approval. Pacha’s sound system, always reliable, was pushed to its atmospheric best—giving each sonic layer room to breathe and resonate.
Visually, the club was cloaked in a more shadowy aesthetic than usual. Subdued lighting and immersive projections allowed the music to remain the central force of the night. Where Pacha often leans into spectacle, this felt stripped back, intentional and intimate, mirroring the underground roots of Maccabi House.
There’s a growing appetite in Ibiza for events that challenge the formula, and this night proved there’s space for bold, progressive bookings. Adam Ten and Mita Gami didn’t just import their sound, they reframed the expectations of what a Pacha night can feel like.
In an early season saturated with major names and glossy lineups, Maccabi House delivered something raw, vital, and refreshingly different, setting the scene for what’s ahead this summer.
