Pacha ICONS brings the legendary music experience of Pacha Ibiza to audiences beyond the island. Created under FIVE’s vision following its acquisition of the brand, Pacha ICONS translates the iconic Ibiza atmosphere into global destinations, including both Playa Pacha in Dubai and Destino Five Ibiza. The series has become renowned for its fusion of world-class DJs, high-spec production and immersive audio-visual storytelling. Each edition captures the signature atmosphere that defines both Pacha Ibiza and FIVE - transformative moments, powerful narrative-driven sets and experiences guests carry with them long after the night ends. This ambitious desert showcase further underscores FIVE’s commitment to pushing boundaries and redefining nightlife in the Middle East.

 

The full Keinemusik trio - &ME, Rampa and Adam Port - will headline the event, following Rampa and Adam Port’s standout Pacha ICONS debut in April 2024. Formed in Berlin and celebrated for their soul-steeped, percussive sound, the collective has played a defining role in shaping today’s melodic and Afro-influenced house music. Their label has produced multiple global anthems, including Adam Port, Stryv and Malachiii’s chart-dominating “MOVE,” which became a viral sensation across clubs and social platforms worldwide.

Famed for their marathon sets and magnetic rhythmic energy, Keinemusik consistently draws full-capacity crowds across the globe. Their Dubai desert debut will be no exception. Bab Al Shams Arena will be reimagined with expansive staging, immersive lighting and high-impact visuals designed to amplify the trio’s emotionally charged sound - setting the stage for a high-energy open-air experience unlike anything else in the region.

SHLOMØ AND SARA LANDRY COMBINE FOR “CONTROL YOUR BODY” - THE FIRST SINGLE FROM HIS UPCOMING “HEARTCORE” LP

After the massive success of ‘Play With Me’, Shlømo and Sara Landry are back with a new collaboration: ‘Control Your Body’— born straight from their undeniable chemistry in the studio. The two artists met up in Paris, where they produced this hypnotic, sexy club weapon in just one day. Shlømo came up with the vocal idea, which Sara recorded herself, bringing that raw and seductive edge that defines the track.

Shlømo describes working with Sara as something that always feels effortless — fast, instinctive, and creatively aligned. He says they tend to finish tracks in a single session, just like Play With Me and now Control Your Body. Beyond the studio chemistry, he sees her first and foremost as a friend; someone he’s supported for years and who has supported him equally. That trust and connection, he adds, is rare and precious.

The new single marks the first release from Shlømo’s upcoming album HEARTCORE, setting the tone for what’s to come — powerful, emotional, and built for the dancefloor. He’ll be taking the album on a massive world tour, with key stops at Rave Rebels, Elrow, Phantom Paris, Welcome Back Devil, Unreal, Verknipt, FCKNYE, and Halle Tony Garnier among others.

Sara shares how excited she is for the track to finally drop and that it felt only fair for her to return the favor and bless Shaun's debut with another collaborative banger. 

The result? A magnetic techno cut that blends both artists’ energies — dark, intense, and irresistibly sensual — made to captivate crowds from the first kick.
