Hï Ibiza (Space), the brand new club by Ushuaïa Entertainment launching this summer, today announces the club’s first DJ residency. South African DJ and producer Black Coffee will take up a weekly Saturday night residency at Ibiza’s hotly-anticipated new superclub, which opens this May.

South African DJ & producer, and winner of the Best Deep House DJ award at the 2016 International DJ Awards in Ibiza, Black Coffee begins his first ever Ibiza residency this summer, taking over Saturdays at Hï Ibiza from 3rd June to 30th September 2017.

The rising star continues to push boundaries with his music too. From hosting Africa Rising, a 12-hour party complete with 24-piece orchestra, to collaborating with Alicia Keys, Hugh Masekela, Victor Ntoni and Busi Mhlongo ,and selling more than 100,000 copies of his latest album “Pieces Of Me“, there’s no doubt Black Coffee is South Africa’s most accomplished modern-day house export.

As founder of Soulistic Music, the man born Nkosinathi Maphumulo has also become a figurehead of the South African dance music scene, discovering and nurturing emerging artists and paving the way for them to break into the international arena. This eye and ear for talent is sure to bring a wealth of skilled selectors to Hï Ibiza, as Black Coffee curates an impeccable line-up of underground acts for his 18 week residency.

Since the start of my career, i’ve been driven by the desire to share my taste in music and expose the world to the beauty of South African dance music… I believe that Hï Ibiza is the perfect place to do that. I regard Ibiza as the capital of the dance music world and I’m truly honoured to be part of the continuing legacy of the island.
