DC10 Ibiza 2026: Tech House Residency Dates to Know

Dopamine Machine Records · April 30, 2026

The 2026 Ibiza calendar is locked in, and for anyone who plans their summer around tech house, DC10 is the address that matters most. CircoLoco kicks the season open on April 27 with its Monday residency, and Solid Grooves returns to the same room on Thursdays from June 4 — an 18-week marathon that runs all the way through to October 1. Two parties, two sound profiles, one airfield-adjacent club doing what it does better than anywhere on the island.

CircoLoco Mondays: the season opener

CircoLoco's relationship with DC10 is part of house music mythology at this point — the party basically invented the modern Ibiza Monday — and the April 27 opening is the unofficial start of the island's tech house and minimal house calendar. Every season the booking policy stays a step ahead of the obvious, which is why CircoLoco line-ups still feel curated rather than algorithmic. If you can only catch DC10 once this summer, build the trip around a Monday.

The label arm, CircoLoco Records, is also having a moment — their first-ever full-length LP (Prospa's "Free Your Mind") drops June 5, which means the early summer Mondays will likely double as listening parties for whoever's on the bill that week. Expect plenty of unreleased album cuts dropped across opening sets.

Solid Grooves Thursdays: 18 weeks of weighty groove

Founded by Michael Bibi, Solid Grooves has become one of the few weekly residencies on the island that consistently programs around the music rather than the marketing. Bibi remains the constant, with a rotating cast of guests who fit the party's signature sound — heads-down, low-end-forward, peak-time tech house that doesn't chase trends. Past seasons have hosted Loco Dice, Dennis Cruz, PAWSA, Archie Hamilton, East End Dubs and more, and the 2026 line-ups are expected to follow that template.

The 18-week stretch from June 4 to October 1 is the longest run Solid Grooves has done at DC10, which is significant. It signals confidence that the Thursday night audience is built — and it gives DJs space to take chances on less-obvious b2b pairings without worrying about a one-shot booking falling flat.

Why DC10 still leads for tech house

Plenty of Ibiza venues book bigger names. Plenty have better sightlines. None of them have DC10's particular alchemy of low ceilings, an outdoor terrace pointed directly at a runway, and a crowd that historically shows up for the music rather than the table service. For minimal house, tech house, and the groovier end of the dancefloor spectrum, that combination still produces the most reliable nights of the season.

It's also worth noting how the season's two flagship residencies complement each other rather than compete. CircoLoco programs broadly across house and techno; Solid Grooves stays narrower and weightier. Catch both in a single week and you've heard a representative cross-section of where the genre actually lives in 2026 — not where Spotify says it does.

Planning the trip: dates that matter

If you're putting an Ibiza calendar together, anchor it around these:

  • April 27 — CircoLoco opening party at DC10
  • June 4 — Solid Grooves season opener
  • June 5 — Prospa's "Free Your Mind" album drop on CircoLoco Records
  • October 1 — Solid Grooves closing party

Mondays and Thursdays at DC10, with Saturdays freed up for the rest of the island. Build around that backbone and you'll catch the strongest tech house programming Ibiza has on offer.

Bottom line

The 2026 Ibiza tech house season has a clean shape: CircoLoco anchors the Mondays from April 27, Solid Grooves delivers 18 weeks of Thursdays from June 4, and DC10 stays the most reliable address on the island for the music that actually matters. Plan accordingly.
