Cocoricò in Riccione will host METAMORFOSI, the celebrated Ibiza format that has set a new benchmark for the island’s club culture. Originating in Ibiza, METAMORFOSI is not merely an artist-driven project but a fully-fledged concept that has redefined the idea of the residency on the world’s premier clubbing stage.

Earlier this year, it was announced that METAMORFOSI would inaugurate its groundbreaking residency at Hï Ibiza, the World’s #1 Nightclub. Running every Friday from July 4 to October 3, this 14-week series marks a pivotal moment for Ibiza nightlife, combining evolution, artistry and cultural resonance. 

Following its success on the island, METAMORFOSI now arrives at Cocoricò, one of Europe’s most iconic venues, renowned for its striking architecture and central role in the continent’s electronic music history.  For this special Italian edition, an extraordinary lineup has been curated, featuring prominent masters of electronic music alongside emerging names. Highlights include a back-to-back set by Joseph Capriati and Jamie Jones — founder of Hot Creations and a pivotal force in modern house — alongside other leading international artists. Also performing is the eclectic and spiritually attuned BLOND:ISH, whose set will explore organic house, tribal grooves and luminous atmospheres; rising British talent Josh Baker with his fresh, dynamic style; Naples’ own Marco Tropeano, who fuses house, techno and soulful influences with a sophisticated touch; and Francesco Squillante, noted for his intimate, meticulously crafted musical approach.

The program also features a set by techno luminary Dubfire, half of the legendary Deep Dish duo, celebrated for his hypnotic journeys through minimal, dub and industrial techno. Héctor Oaks, a key figure of the underground techno circuit, is set to deliver one of his intense, uncompromising performances. Adding further depth, Detroit-Berlin artist Ryan Elliott, part of the Ostgut Ton roster, will bring a refined approach that bridges deep techno and underground house, while Italian legend Daniele Baldelli, pioneer of the “cosmic sound,” offers a timeless blend of disco, funk, afro and electronics for a truly unique listening experience.

Out now via Basshall Records, “Ba Ba Bad (Remix)” is already making waves as a major global crossover moment.

The remix was sparked by viral footage from KYBBA’s recent tour stop in Medellín, Colombia, where a clip of him performing the original “Ba Ba Bad” in La Comuna lit up social media, racking up over 25k hits in just three days. The electrifying crowd reaction caught the attention of Ryan Castro, who reached out immediately to collaborate. Within days, the remix was recorded between Medellín and Paris, capturing lightning in a bottle and uniting three cultures on one irresistible rhythm.

To celebrate the upcoming album and remix release, KYBBA has also announced his “How You Bad Suh” Album Tour, as he prepares to bring his electrifying stage presence to some of the  most iconic cities across North America and Europe.

Having already performed at major festivals such as Tomorrowland, Parookaville, Rototom Sunsplash, Sziget, Mysteryland and more, KYBBA is now entering a new chapter – one defined by bold collaborations, global energy and a sound that continues to unite audiences across borders.

With over 100 million streams to his name and a dedicated international fanbase, KYBBA has carved out a unique space in the global music scene - and “How You Bad Suh” promises to be his most definitive statement yet.
