Hard techno finds a new home in Ibiza this summer as Hï Ibiza welcomes one of Spain’s most groundbreaking collectives, Blackworks, for a powerful seven-week residency. Running across June and September 2025, this new chapter in the island’s nightlife offers a cutting-edge experience for travellers looking to explore the boldest side of electronic music.
Crowned the World’s No. 1 Club for the fifth year in a row, Hï Ibiza continues to shape the global nightlife scene through bold and forward-thinking programming. The Blackworks residency is a clear example of this spirit, an invitation to discover a sound that is gaining momentum across Europe and now claims its space on Ibiza’s most prestigious stage.
A residency that pushes boundaries
The Blackworks residency will be split into two distinct phases. In June, Ukrainian DJ and producer Korolova will headline the Club Room every Wednesday with her signature style of melodic yet driving techno. Her performances bring a vibrant new energy to the island and represent a strong step forward in Hï Ibiza’s commitment to increasing female representation in the electronic scene.
In September, Blackworks will take full control of the venue on the 10th, 17th and 24th for three complete takeovers. These nights promise an intense and immersive clubbing experience, showcasing the raw energy and rebellious identity that define the Blackworks sound.
Tourists visiting Ibiza during these dates can expect something truly unique, an alternative to the typical party line-up, led by artists and collectives who are reshaping the direction of global club culture.
The Blackworks identity
Born in Madrid, Blackworks has grown from an underground movement into one of Europe’s most influential hard techno platforms. Its events are known for their intensity, powerful line-ups, and a loyal community that reflects the genre’s raw authenticity. The collective has played a leading role in the recent resurgence of harder sounds, helping shift the focus of Spain’s electronic music scene.
Their debut residency represents a major step in their evolution and a significant moment for the Spanish electronic scene. In addition to this seven-week programme, Blackworks will also appear at select events throughout the summer, including MËSTIZA and Paco Osuna’s Now Here nights, further expanding their presence at the island’s most iconic venue.
Spotlight on Korolova
All four June dates will see Korolova take over the Club Room. Known for her emotionally charged and rhythmically powerful sets, the Ukrainian DJ has built an impressive global following. Her presence at Ibiza’s nightclub adds depth and contrast to the Blackworks residency, offering an uplifting yet intense atmosphere each week.
Korolova’s addition reflects a broader commitment by Hï Ibiza to support new talent and highlight the role of women in a genre that continues to evolve. Each set is expected to deliver a memorable experience through melodic crescendos and strong techno foundations.
A cultural shift on the island
Ibiza has long stood at the heart of global electronic music, but hard techno has often remained at the fringes of its mainstream offering. The inclusion of Blackworks in the 2025 programme marks a turning point. Hï Ibiza is now one of the first major clubs on the island to embrace this genre on such a significant scale.
This residency signals a new direction in the island’s nightlife, aligned with changing trends and the interests of a new generation of clubbers. The impact goes beyond music. It reflects a broader cultural shift in Ibiza’s identity, one that is more inclusive, more diverse and more open to experimentation.
Planning your visit
Travellers arriving in June can experience Korolova’s sets every Wednesday in the Club Room, a highlight of the midweek nightlife on the island. For those planning a trip in September, the full Blackworks takeovers on the 10th, 17th and 24th will showcase the collective’s vision on a grand scale.
Each night will feature world-class production, immersive sound design, and a crowd that shares a passion for powerful, fast-paced music. Expect Ibiza’s signature experience, reimagined with a darker and more intense energy.
The future of Ibiza clubbing
The Blackworks residency is not just another addition to the summer calendar, it is a bold statement about the future of clubbing on the island. It opens the door to new audiences, challenges traditional perceptions of Ibiza’s sound and reinforces Hï Ibiza’s position as a leader in global nightlife.
Those ready to explore something different will find an exciting and authentic experience in this series of events. Summer 2025 will mark the beginning of a new chapter for the island’s dancefloors, louder, bolder, and unapologetically driven by hard techno.
