On a scorching May evening, Playa Pacha, the premier destination for house music enthusiasts in Dubai, set a new standard with an electrifying performance by the legendary Solomun. This iconic venue, situated at FIVE LUXE JBR on the stunning Jumeirah Beach, once again proved why it’s the go-to spot for aficionados of real house music.
As the sun dipped into the horizon, the picturesque pool and private beach of Playa Pacha provided a breathtaking backdrop for the event, while the sprawling screen and massive speaker stacks elevated the experience to new heights. The visuals, perfectly synchronised with the music, pulsed with energy, drawing the crowd into the infectious rhythm.
The international audience, composed of enthusiasts from across the region and beyond, was abuzz with excitement as they waited for Solomun to take the stage. As the Diynamic label head and renowned purveyor of melodic house and techno, Solomun has long been synonymous with the genre. His signature set, which blended uplifting melodies with driving beats, had the crowd in raptures. With his innate ability to read the room, Solomun responded to the audience’s enthusiasm with warmth and affection, dropping gems from his own label and surprising the crowd with unknown treats that were united by captivating storytelling synths.
This unforgettable night at Playa Pacha, which has already played host to a range of iconic acts including Back Coffee Mochakk, CamelPhat, Rampa, and ANOTR, solidified its reputation as the premier destination for serious house music fans in the UAE. With a packed summer ahead, including Solomun’s iconic Solomun +1 residency at Pacha Ibiza, it’s clear his global influence continues to shape the underground music scene. His standout performance in Dubai was a perfect fit for one of the final ICONS shows, setting the tone for the series’ return after summer.
