SOLOMUN +1 25.05-
The Concept Since Solomun landed his first residency in Ibiza in 2O12, the German has been riding the Ibiza wave of success going from strength to strength. Solomun landed his second Ibiza residency at Pacha in 2O13, now as we are half way through the season it is fair to say his residency has been a success. The Solomun +1 concept is simple. The Diynamic boss invites one DJ or act to play with him every week, someone who has inspired him or he likes to play with. Each DJ plays for two to three hours until 6am, where the guest will join Solomun on the decks for a special back-to-back until close. Since Pacha celebrated their 4Oth anniversary last summer, the club has been more open to underground sounds. Underground music fans want intimacy and to feel a relationship with the DJ, this has been the secret to Solomun’s success at Pacha. The custom made DJ booth, located on the dance floor brings together the clubs VIP audi-
ence and the dance floor, surrounding the booth from all angles. Solomun and his special guest have a dance floor in front of them, and a VIP audience behind and above him overlooking the club from the Terrace above. The season so far The opening began with fellow German DJ Koze who’s remix of Moderat ‘Bad Kingdom’ has become one of the tunes of the summer. Week Two saw Dirtybird Records label owner Claude VonStroke join in the fun. The two bearded men have become friends over the years, earlier in 2O14 Claude VonStroke asked Solomun to remix ‘The Clapping Song’, one of the leading tracks off VonStoke’s album released earlier this year. Claude returned the favour by accepting Solomun’s invitation to join him in Ibiza. Claude opened up the night with a blend of house and drum’n’bass before Solomun took the crowd on a journey with a dark, melodic three hour set that included his own new production ‘Friends’ and his own remix
1, PACHA IBIZA -05.10
of ‘The Foals - Late Night’. The two joined for a special back-to-back set that effortlessly transitioned from one genre to the next. As June went on Solomun was by joined by Dixon. Dixon is a name that you wouldn’t normally associate with Pacha, but this goes to show how strong Solomun’s concept is. Dixon started off the night in slow fashion leaving the dance floor at almost walking pace at times. By 2am the Innervisions boss was well into his groove, melodic house cuts that make you feel like you’re climbing mountains, a dark intimate room met with limited production as the lettering of Solomun +1 shined above. You could see the appreciation on the face of Solomun as he danced over Dixon’s shoulder throughout his whole set looking on in admiration. Solomun took over at the 3am mark, before the two joined together to create one of the highlights of the season. Guy Gerber’s and Dixon’s ‘No Distance’ rang around the room as the crowd joined in unison to give a standing ovation.
Moving into July and August, highlights have come from Kölsch who’s Der Alte still sounds as good a season on. Miss Kittin is a firm favourite of the Diynamic family, despite not being an official member of the family, Miss Kittin is an adopted member who shares a special bond with Solomon, something that could be seen from their special back-to-back mid July. With half of the season gone, a name that stands out when looking at what is to come is Áme. Fresh off the back of an appearance at Cocoon and a special one off Innervisions showcase at DC1O his appearances on August 24th and September 14th are ones not to be missed by fans of both labels. Their is also the first appearance of the summer at Pacha for Adriatique, the Swiss duo have become a firm favourite of many and are regulars at Diynamic’s Outdoor residencies at Cova Santa and Destino. The season closes out in October with a mysterious special guest. Photogrpahy: Tasya Menaker

DIYNAMIC OUTDOO 17.O7 - 24.07 - 21.08 -
Opened in 2O13, Destino is the latest venue that is apart of the Pacha group. Located on the cliffs of Cap Martinet above Talamanca, the hotel and venue has breathtaking views over Ibiza Town and as far as Formentera, Ibiza’s little sister island. Destino is not just a hotel, the venue is used for open air parties as the resurgence of open air clubbing returns to Ibiza in 2O14. When Diynamic left Sankeys at the beginning of the year, Solomun and his Diynamic crew were looking for a second residency. It turned out that the label would now have three, with two open air residencies rotating between venues. After the success of Diynamic Open Air Festival in Berlin and Amsterdam, the label was approached by Amnesia and their new venue Cova Santa. However the venue struggled for a licence, opening up the opportunity for Solomun to strengthen his
position within the Pacha group and take up a five date residency at Destino. The opening parties in July proved to be a huge success. Solomun, H.O.S.H., and Adriatique played the opening party before the same trio of acts were joined by Thyladomid in Week Two. The relaxed nature of Destino fits the label perfectly, the Diynamic sound perfectly fits the outdoor nature of the venue, allowing a number of mixture of ages to enjoy the venue for what it is. The stage is located as you walk in, with a restaurant to the left and a stunning pool in the middle that is available for use if you upgrade to VIP. The venue also has a secret indoor venue named Tox, where the party continues until the early hours of the morning. If you’re lucky enough to step inside, leave your phones in your pockets as what happens in Tox, stays in Tox.

DIYNAMIC OUTDO 07.08 - 14.
The Venue
Diynamic Outdoor in Review
Cova Santa is located in the beautiful Ibiza countryside on the road that takes you from San Jose to the airport. The venue is built around an ancient cave and was discovered in the fifteenth century and opened to the public in the late 5O’s. Up until recently Cova Santa was one of the main tourist attractions in Ibiza, becoming a beautiful event location with a restaurant and after dinner dancing.
Diynamic’s first event at Cova Santa was highly anticipated. As you entered the venue you saw the Diynamic door, as well as a fountain to your left beautifully decorated with elephant sculptures. Stepping on to the Cova Santa dance floor is an experience. The tiered restaurant is the first thing you see, you can immediately see why this venue has such a reputation and why Amnesia brought the venue in the early OO’s. The dance floor is small, the booth is perfectly located, slightly to the right allowing everyone a perfect view as the restaurant terrace curves around the ancient cave.
In 2OO1 the Amnesia group purchased the venue seeing a lot of potential. However, like most open air venues, their was problems with licensing. In 2O13, the venue was reborn and held a number of legendary Music On after parties on a Saturday afternoon with Marco Carola being joined by special guests and Music On regulars.
On the decks is Adriatique. The duo are stylishly dressed, the dark and moody sound of Adriatique is perfect for day time clubbing, the dreamy dark synths of ‘Midnight Walking’, oozed out of the

speakers early doors. Up next was the extremely talented David August, the rockstar of the group. With his quiff blowing in the wind and his eyes hiding behind stylish round sunglasses August performed live for an hour using keyboards and a number of different machines. August has such a unique sound bringing in his superb remix of The Beatles - Little Bird before Solomun and H.O.S.H took to the decks just as night fall set. Cova Santa really comes alive at night, the melodic house sound of Diynamic along with a clued in crowd provided an energy that has been following Solomun where ever he goes this summer!

H.O.S.H. is on a mission to stay Forever Young. As one of the three founders of Diynamic, H.O.S.H. is a senior member but you would never guess. If you meet H.O.S.H. you will be inspired by his fun loving nature to life. His passion for music is also inspiring, Diynamic live by the moto of ‘Do It Yourself’, the crew live in a bubble and keep everything in the family. The fourth Diynamic residency completes the package. H.O.S.H. and a special guest take to the mediterranean seas every other Thursday between 1-5, setting sail from Playa d’en Bossa and heading towards Las Salina’s.
INTERVIEW: H.O.S.H. IBIZA This year we are not on the island for so long, it’s our third year here after two great years at Sankeys. For us we felt like everything we do had to go to the next level. Everything happened naturally, Solomun obviously continues his +1 residency at Pacha where I have played three dates across the season. At BPM Festival we were talking, brain storming and coming up with ideas and everybody was on the same wave length about going out door. Amnesia approached us about Cova Santa, we traveled to Ibiza to check out the venue and naturally fell in love. There has been some problems but we have been very lucky that we got asked to play at Destino as well. Everything has just fell in place and now we have two amazing Diynamic out door locations in Ibiza. THE DIYNAMIC FAMILY - Do It Yourself There are a number of amazing artists out there but for us it is about family. We treat all our artists the same. When we sign artists to the agency and to the label, they have to fit in, that is more important to us than the music. It has been a while since we did a release on Diynamic from an artist that isn’t apart of our family, it has happened in the past but from our experiences it is better to get to know the person and the artist. If we find a young talent, we want to take them under our wings and mould them into the artist we know they can be. FOREVER YOUNG I did one album named ‘Connecting the Dots’ and the year after I was looking back on it and I didn’t like how long it took to put together an album, I like the process but it took too long. It was my first
album so I put a lot of time and effort in to it. Then one night I was lying down and I had the idea to do something similar but with a specific theme. I thought to myself “I am living my dream right now, but if I wasn’t a DJ now what would I be doing. Would I be a writer, an architect.” When we were young we always had different ideas about what we wanted to be doing when we grew up. I put out a post on Facebook and asked my followers what they wanted to be when they were growing up. I took the most popular and the most extreme answers and made a whole album project out of it in four parts with each track having a different name and theme. LIFE AT SEA The nickname ‘Captain H.O.S.H.’ actually evolved from the first season in Ibiza. We did a pre-party where we played on a boat. The boat took people over to Formentera and on the way back they had a DJ play broadcasted live on Ibiza Sonica. The weather was too windy and no boats were going out due to the high waves. I was asked if I still wanted to do this and my response was “I am from Hamburg, I’m used to wind and bad weather”. When we did it I was swaying from left to right while trying to mix, frrom that moment on it has been a running joke. Also that year I celebrated my birthday on a boat on our way to Formentera. We threw a party on the beach, which doesn’t happen very often as the island is very picky with its sound and who plays there. The party really stuck in the mind of the promoters and I was asked if I wanted to do it again this year.

MADGALENA: MY DIYNAMIC STORY Anybody who has followed the rise of Diynamic will know all about ‘Ego’, a club situated in Hamburg owned by the label. Diynamic is well known for its family values; Ego was run by Madgalena, the younger sister of Mladen who now after five years of running the club now finds herself on the other side of the decks following her passion for music becoming the first lady of the Diynamic roster. Madgalena first DJ’d to a friend and was encouraged to take it more seriously. Her love for music had always been there but chose to focus on the club. After seeing a number of world class DJs in Ego it was Solomun’s right hand man H.O.S.H who finally broke Madgalena’s resistance to get behind the decks. H.O.S.H invited her to play B2B, now two years later Magdalena is finding herself warming up for her brother at his Pacha residency in Ibiza and playing the opening set at the labels first ‘Diynamic Outdoor’ party at Cova Santa.
One of Madgalena’s mentors has been Anja Schneider. The fellow German was impressed with her attitude and passion for music. Earlier this year at Sonar in Barcelona Madgalena joined the mobilee crew at their famous roof top party. In July, mobilee continued their recent momentum and began their first ever Ibiza residency. Wanting to bring something different to the island, mobilee chose to stay away from the clubs and started a free bi-weekly pool party residency at Santos in Playa d’en Bossa where Madgalena was invited to play in July. Madgalena may be the first official female member of the Diynamic family, but due to her relation to Mladen, this lady has always been a member of the family.
