Solèy means sun in Haitian Creole. Every Monday from 1 June to 5 October, Francis Mercier turns that word into a season — seventeen weeks of global rhythms, rare collaborative performances and a dancefloor that operates less like a club night and more like a cultural meeting point.

This is a debut residency at Hï Ibiza. But it arrives with the confidence of something already fully formed.

What Solèy Is — and What It Isn't

Solèy is not a DJ residency in the conventional sense. It is a programme built around convergence — between genres, geographies and generations — with collaboration functioning as its primary creative engine rather than its decorative flourish.

Where most residencies are constructed around a headliner supported by guests, Solèy is structured around encounters. B2B and B3B performances are not peak-season additions; they are the architecture of the concept itself. The night is designed to generate creative dynamics that cannot exist in any other format, on any other night, at any other venue.

Francis Mercier — known across the global circuit for bridging Afro house, melodic structures and rhythms drawn from the Levant, Africa and the Caribbean — has built his reputation as a connector. Solèy is that identity made spatial. The Theatre at Hï Ibiza becomes the room where that connection is enacted, live, every Monday night.

The Collaborations That Define the Season

Two performances stand as the clearest expressions of what Solèy is attempting.

The first is a B3B featuring Mercier alongside Diplo and Ape Drums — a convergence of distinct musical worlds that is genuinely rare in a residency context. Not a one-off festival moment, but a chapter within a longer narrative.

The second is the meeting of Caiiro, Da Capo and Enoo Napa — three artists whose individual contributions to African electronic music represent some of the most significant work the genre has produced. Together, in a single Club Room set, they encapsulate the residency's deepest cultural ambition.

Beyond these, the season unfolds through a carefully constructed network of B2B pairings: MoBlack alongside Agoria, Sébastien Léger with Roy Rosenfeld — each pairing designed to explore complementary sonic identities rather than simply double the headline power of a night.

Individual performances by Louie Vega, Lee Burridge and THEMBA extend the programme's range, adding perspectives rooted in house music's foundational traditions alongside its more contemporary evolutions.

Beyond the Booth

Solèy extends its vision beyond recorded sound. Live instrumentation — guitar and djembe — is integrated into selected performances across the season, introducing an organic layer that contrasts with and deepens the electronic foundation beneath it. Choreographed dance further amplifies this dimension, transforming the Theatre into something approaching a live performance environment.

This is not decoration. It is a deliberate expansion of what a club night can be — and it aligns precisely with Hï Ibiza's own evolution as a venue that increasingly positions itself as a platform for multidimensional experience rather than straightforward entertainment.

Monday Nights, Redefined

Solèy does not exist in isolation. Running in parallel in the Club Room is Andrea Oliva's All I Need residency — a groove-driven, dancefloor-focused counterpart that completes a dual-room format built on complementary rather than competing energies.

Together, the two concepts establish Mondays at Hï Ibiza as one of the island's most musically expansive nights in 2026. Where Oliva's programme offers precision and intimacy, Mercier's Theatre explores breadth and convergence. The contrast is intentional, and it works.

What This Season Represents

Ibiza residencies are easy to read as commercial fixtures — a name, a room, a summer. Solèy resists that reading. Its structure, its guest logic, its integration of live elements and its explicit grounding in a multicultural musical philosophy all point toward something with a longer ambition than a single season.

The name itself carries that ambition. Solèy — sun, warmth, shared energy. A unifying force. In Haitian Creole, a word that belongs to everyone who stands under it.

That is what Mercier is building in the Theatre every Monday night. Not a club night. A space where electronic music functions as cultural dialogue — and where the dancefloor is, for once, exactly that: shared ground.

Full lineup details and additional dates to be announced across the season.
