DJ SNAKE AND J BALVIN WRAP UP “PARDON MY SPANISH” FOLLOWING TWO EXCLUSIVE NIGHTS AT USHUAÏA IBIZA

Across two nights, the global superstars debuted their new concept on the island, bringing together thousands of fans from around the world

Following two exclusive shows at Ushuaïa Ibiza, DJ Snake and J Balvin have officially wrapped up Pardon My Spanish, their brand-new concept that debuted on the island across two weekends this month.

Debuting across two weekends on June 14 and June 21, Pardon My Spanish marked a new chapter in the longtime creative relationship between DJ Snake and J Balvin. Moving beyond a traditional headline performance, the concept brought together the worlds of both artists in a new live format built specifically for Ibiza.

Across both nights, thousands of fans gathered at Ushuaïa Ibiza to experience the debut of the concept. Bringing together electronic music, Latin influences, and the signature sounds that have defined both artists' careers, delivering two high-energy nights that showcased the duo's chemistry on and off stage.

Having spent a long time developing the concept together, the overwhelmingly positive reaction across both weekends reinforced the demand for experiences that put the crowd at the centre of the night.

For DJ Snake and J Balvin, Pardon My Spanish represented the natural evolution of a creative relationship that has been years in the making. Having collaborated on global hits including Loco Contigo, Noventa, and Tonto, while sharing stages across the world, including Ultra Festival Miami earlier this year, the duo used the concept to bring their partnership beyond the studio and onto the dancefloor in a completely new way.

VICTOR RUIZ RELEASES FINAL SINGLE ‘TECHNICOLOR’ AHEAD OF DEBUT ALBUM

Out Now Across All Streaming Platforms

Victor Ruiz unveils ‘Technicolor’, the fourth and final single taken from his forthcoming debut album ‘VICTOR’. Arriving ahead of the full project’s release on July 10 via his own VOLTA imprint, the new record offers one last glimpse into Ruiz’s most ambitious body of work to date - a project that sees the Brazilian artist step beyond the boundaries of the techno sound that first established his name and into something far more expansive, personal and emotionally driven.

Across the rollout of ‘VICTOR’, Ruiz has gradually revealed different sides of that evolution. From the meditative stillness of ‘Silence’ and the vulnerability of ‘Alone’ to the uplifting release found within ‘Sundance’, each single has uncovered a new chapter in both the album’s narrative and Victor’s own creative journey. With ‘Technicolor’, those threads begin to converge. Arriving as the final single before the full LP lands, it feels like the moment everything opens up - larger in scale, broader in emotion and completely unrestrained in its intent.

Sonically, ‘Technicolor’ leans fully into that sense of expansion. Built around sweeping melodies, immersive synth work and driving percussion, the record unfolds with a feeling of constant momentum. Layers emerge and intertwine throughout, creating an atmosphere that feels enveloping from beginning to end. While traces of Victor’s electronic foundations remain present, the focus here is less on tension and release and more on emotion, movement and connection. It is a track designed to be experienced as much as heard - equally capable of filling a festival field or drawing the listener into its world through a pair of headphones.

Conceptually, ‘Technicolor’ represents a pivotal moment within the wider story of ‘VICTOR’. It captures the point where uncertainty gives way to acceptance - where the highs and lows, the contradictions and complexities, are no longer resisted but embraced as part of a larger whole. If ‘Silence’ represented a world viewed in black and white, ‘Technicolor’ is where colour finally arrives. Not as an escape from what came before, but as a result of it.

Arriving July 10, ‘VICTOR’ represents the culmination of a creative journey years in the making. While Victor Ruiz has built an international reputation through his contributions to electronic music's underground, the album offers a broader and more complete reflection of the artist behind the name. Drawing from a lifetime of musical influences and experiences, ‘VICTOR’ stands as his first true long-form statement - a bold and deeply personal work that signals the beginning of an exciting new chapter.

Victor Ruiz - VICTOR is available to pre-save now and will be released on all streaming platforms on July 10, 2026: https://volta.ffm.to/victor

CHRIS LAKE SELLS OUT 40.000-TICKET LOS ANGELES WEEKEND, CAPPING BIGGEST MONTH OF HIS CAREER

Historic Los Angeles Run Follows A Sold-Out Three-Night Takeover Of New York City, Bringing More Than 55.000 Fans Across Five Headline Shows In June.

Chris Lake has completed the biggest headline month of his career, selling more than 55.000 tickets across five sold-out headline shows in New York City and Los Angeles throughout June.

The month culminated with two sold-out performances at Los Angeles State Historic Park on June 19 and 20, where a combined 40.000 fans attended Lake's largest standalone headline shows ever in Los Angeles. Presented by Framework and Goldenvoice, the first date sold out in less than 15 minutes, prompting the addition of a second show, which also sold out during the event weekend.

The historic Los Angeles run followed another major achievement just weeks earlier, as Lake sold out all three nights of his Under The K Bridge Park takeover in Brooklyn, New York. Presented by Black Book Records and The Bowery Presents, more than 15.000 fans attended the June 5–7 series, marking one of the largest headline runs of Lake's career on the East Coast.

Together, the sold-out New York and Los Angeles events brought more than 55.000 fans to Chris Lake headline shows in a single month, underlining his position as one of the most in-demand artists in electronic music today.

The Los Angeles performances represented a particularly significant milestone. Returning to headline the city for the first time since 2022, Lake transformed LA State Historic Park into a massive open-air dancefloor across two nights, supported by AYYBO, Ragie Ban, Hot Since 82 and Clüb de Combat. The events showcased the scale and ambition that have become synonymous with the Black Book Records founder's live performances.

The sold-out Los Angeles run attracted attention well beyond the dance music world. Among those attending opening night was three-time Super Bowl champion Travis Kelce, underscoring the wider cultural momentum surrounding Chris Lake as he continues to expand his reach beyond the traditional electronic music audience.

The achievement caps a remarkable period for Lake. Following the release of his debut album Chemistry, a sold-out global tour, and a second GRAMMY® nomination for his remix of The Chemical Brothers' "Galvanize," he has continued to expand his reach while remaining one of dance music's leading independent artists.

Recent years have seen Lake collaborate with some of the biggest names in music, including Skrillex, Disclosure and Sammy Virji, while building Black Book Records into one of electronic music's most respected labels. At the 2026 International Dance Music Awards during Miami Music Week, Lake took home awards for Best Album and Best Remix, further cementing his position at the forefront of global dance music.

While the New York takeover demonstrated his growing influence on the East Coast, the sold-out Los Angeles weekend served as the defining statement of the month, delivering Chris Lake's biggest headline performances in the city to date and reinforcing his status as one of the genre's most powerful live draws.
