As we close out the year, I wanted this session to reflect the energy that’s been building across the island. Intense, percussive, and full of movement. These tracks carry the pulse of underground spaces where the connection runs deep. Low ceilings, warm systems, eyes closed.

There’s a thread of tension running through this mix, with moments that let go into full release. A few personal favorites, some discoveries, and a private edit made for nights that stretch into morning.

Thank you for riding with me this year. Whether you’ve tuned in from a beach, a dance floor, or just your own zone, this journey only works because you’re part of it.

Stay grounded. Stay curious. See you in 2026.

Ibiza in winter is a different kind of magic. Intimate, grounded, and full of intention. As the island breathes into the new season, the music thrives in private villas, hillside hideouts, and underground spots where connection comes first.

This mix brings together a crew of artists who are shaping that sound. HUGEL, Kurd Maverick, and Flashmob bring pure energy and rhythm, fueling the spaces where people still come together to dance. GruuvElement’s, Silvie Loto, and Melanie Ribbe offer deep, rolling grooves that feel perfectly tuned for this time of year. Warm, textured, alive.

George Privatti, Chris Di Perri, and Ordonez push things forward with precision and flair. At the same time, artists like Josh Samuel, Chris Campos, and Castion keep the floor moving with their bold, contemporary edge. Each track is part of a wider story rooted in community, creativity, and the pulse of a lifestyle that is constantly evolving.

With the close of ADE in Amsterdam, the Ibiza club season also reaches its final chapter. This year wrapped with memorable sessions at Tomorrowland, Casa Linda, and De Tulp. Each one is a reflection of the energy that keeps this scene moving long after summer fades.

Ibiza is alive. More focused. More real. And the music is still flowing, stronger than ever.

If this sound resonates with your space or your crowd, let’s connect to fly me in this winter.

This month’s episode is shaped by the rooftop energy I’ve been living every week throughout September at the Tomorrowland Rooftop Sessions in Ibiza.

The opening track is a special one. It’s my edit of In My Ear by my gym buddy, Like Mike, setting the tone with a raw yet elegant groove. From there, the mix flows through private edits and standout selections from artists like Nicole Moudaber, Castion, and Rafael Cerato.

Midway through, a heavy cut from Discip lifts the energy, while a classic from Orlando Voorn and Format reminds us of the foundations this sound is built on. I close with a rework of Gorge’s We Start Again, a quiet nod to the changing season on the island.

Next stop is the 2025 Amsterdam Dance Event. Bookings are now open for winter and 2026. Reach out if you're curating something special.

People of Tomorrowland,

There are no words strong enough, but let me try.

To everyone who stayed, danced, surrendered , thank you.

You gave me everything. The energy in that last hour was unreal… deeper than music, more than a set. It felt like a shared pulse, a collective moment of truth under the open sky. No egos, just movement. No noise, just groove.

Ibiza magic, distilled into the last 60 minutes of my four-hour set.

We will do it again, September 27th, with the people of BEN's gym, and the great team of Tomorrowland on Ibiza.

Until then… stay grounded, stay curious, stay free.

Sebastiaan

People of Tomorrow,

September skyline, half-light, low-end heartbeat. From the rooftop of Tomorrowland Ibiza, I guided you through shadows and sunsets. The island whispered, and you listened.

This Saturday, we return.

Thank you to the Tomorrowland team for making it all possible.

Dear friends of the show,

Whether you’ve been with me since the early days or just discovered the vibe, I’m glad you’re here. This show is built for those who carry a piece of Ibiza in their heart, no matter where they are. Welcome back to In Session Ibiza.

Late summer on the island carries a different rhythm. The energy shifts inward, into the undercurrent. For this session, I dove deep. From haunting remixes to honest grooves straight from the floor.

We open with the mystique of Angel Lee on HE.SHE.THEY., a label that has become synonymous with progressive, inclusive nights at Ibiza’s most forward-thinking venues. Moby follows, a name that resonates across generations of Balearic dance floors. Later in the set, another of his collaborations is reimagined by ESSEL, a rising force whose journey began on this very island, capturing its bold and emotive essence.

The legendary Benjamin Zephaniah brings poetry into motion on always centered at night, while Roland Clark’s unmistakable voice grounds the session in club heritage, the kind etched into countless sunrise memories across Ibiza. Melanie Ribbe, deeply rooted in the island's scene, brings undeniable drive.

We also dive into the sonic world of DJ Tennis, co-founder of Life and Death, known for his deeply crafted sets in Ibiza’s more alternative corners. Eliza Rose joins him, adding her soulful, unmistakable energy that has found its way into the hearts of island dancers.

Even Sergio Mendes, reimagined with club finesse, reminds us how Ibiza continues to merge eras and sounds. I close with Freak Out, my own contribution. A track shaped by the spontaneity and surrender that the island always inspires.

This is not a linear journey. It is a circle. Each track, a point on the map of a night that exists outside of time. Only in feeling.

If this session moved you, subscribe, share it with someone who needs the vibe, and keep the spirit of the island alive.

August on the island has a pulse of its own. This set was recorded in that space where the sun dips low and the air becomes electric, the sweet spot between introspection and ignition.

The journey opens with a nod to San Francisco’s PillowTalk and the hypnotic energy of Barber’s remix. Raw, patient, and beautifully off-center. From there, we slip into deeper territory with emerging voices like Zamky and Bjoint, who bring a tight rhythmic finesse that sets the tone. There's a strong thread of European craftsmanship throughout, with standout cuts from Spain’s Mauro Vetter and THEIA, and the refined edge of Italy’s Mirco Costa and Etwas.

Later, the mood darkens. Cristian Merino and Fer BR remind us why groove never goes out of style, and legends like Iglesias and Paco Osuna come in heavy with their unmistakable stamp on the modern underground. By the time Michael Bibi closes the session, we’re deep in that hypnotic zone where time loses meaning.

Seb_h, my Ibiza alias, is a name rooted in deep tech with an apparent reverence for the island’s pulse. This set isn’t just a reflection of what’s playing. It’s a reflection of who is shaping the scene right now. Respect to the artists who bring their own fingerprint to the dancefloor.

For those listening under the stars, in motion, or memory, this one’s yours.

Hey Ibiza family,

Welcome to a brand new episode of In Session Ibiza. It’s July, the sun is blazing, and this month’s show is more Ibiza than ever before. I’ve selected tracks that take you from sunrise mornings to those deep, late-night grooves on the island dancefloors.

We kick off with Samer Soltan and Ajna’s Champion to set the vibe. You’ll also hear Marhaba from 2thundersdxb and Xavi Emparan – it was so cool that Xavi gave me and my girlfriend a shout out on his radio show last week while we were listening. Moments like that truly bring this global Ibiza family together.

In this session, you’ll find my brand new track Freak Out, plus fire releases from Melanie Ribbe with a killer Paco Osuna remix, Joseph Capriati & Dennis Cruz, and Ramon Bedoya together with Sebastien Xottello – La Playa brings pure Balearic heat.

This is the sound of Ibiza right now. Please close your eyes, feel the sun on your skin, and let’s dance through July together.
