Wednesdays on Ibiza were already pretty packed in terms of party options with plenty going on all over the island, covering a very wide range of tastes and styles to suit everyone.
Then last season, back in 2015, the crew from Artist Alife came along - the company which looks after talent such as Loco Dice, Chris Liebing, Dubfire and Enzo Siragusa - and cherry picked some of the biggest and best artists playing across various other parties to play for their own techno party - HYTE.
There's no denying that the inaugural season at the club didn't go quite as well as they had hoped, given the competition on island. But, out of nowhere, the party has emerged as a real contender for 'party of the season', holding down a solid crowd with similar top-notch bookings they had last season. Proof, if needed, that breaking Ibiza can require time and patience no matter how big the names on top of the billboard.
Loco Dice is still the man at the front of the crew, alongside him there's an impressive roster of selectors though. John Talabot, Robert Hood, Chris Liebing, Pan-Pot, Maya Jane Coles, DJ Harvey, Schwarzmann and loads more.
What's most exciting this year though is the addition of a few live acts, most notably with the mighty Caribou with a full live band! This goes down Wednesday 20 July at Amnesia. If you're on island, get there.
Here's a little sampling of what you can expect to see from their party back on the 6 July.
