Solid Grooves Unveils Latest Ibiza Sampler Ahead of 2026 Residency

1 day ago 5

Michael Bibi, PAWSA, Dennis Cruz, Toman, Silvie Loto, and more come together on Solid Grooves’ annual Ibiza compilation ahead of the brand’s fifth season at DC10.

For many labels, a compilation is simply a collection of tracks. For Solid Grooves, it’s become an annual marker of where the brand stands as it heads into another Ibiza summer.

As the collective gears up for its fifth consecutive season at DC10, Michael Bibi and PAWSA‘s Solid Grooves have unveiled Ibiza Sampler 2026. The 10-track compilation brings together artists who have helped shape the label’s sound over the years, alongside the next wave of talent emerging from around the world.

Leading the charge are the label’s co-founders. Michael Bibi opens with “Let’s Get High,” while PAWSA delivers “Ride On Me,” setting the tone for a release rooted in the stripped-back grooves and dancefloor-focused energy that have become synonymous with the Solid Grooves name.

The esteemed icon Dennis Cruz and Patrick Luna bring “Bubbling” to keep things firmly rooted in the groove-heavy tech house lane that helped define the Solid Grooves sound. Rising Hungarian-born artist Reelow and long-time resident and label manager Ramin Rezaie return alongside Silvie Loto and Arapu.

One of the compilation’s standout inclusions comes from Toman, who brings “Booty Smoothie” and injects straight energy, combining funky percussion with a groove built for packed DC10 dancefloors. His inclusion reflects one of the compilation’s biggest strengths: balancing established names with artists who genuinely feel like the future of the scene.

Another notable appearance comes from Gennaro, formerly known as BLACKCHILD, who recently revealed he would be moving forward under his real name as a return to his roots and personal identity. His contribution marks an exciting step towards his growing involvement within the wider Solid Grooves family, and “Talamanca’s Flute” feels fittingly tied to Ibiza itself, pairing shimmering melodies with heavy layers of percussion that give sunsets on the White Isle.

While some might feel this compilation plays it a bit safe, at its core, this is a Solid Grooves record. The sound is exactly what you’d expect: rolling grooves, minimal arrangements, and tracks built for long hours in the club rather than dramatic first-listen moments. Minimal music won’t always be thrilling, and often misidentified, it’s then scrutinized because of this misunderstanding.

Whether you’re listening ahead of a summer in Ibiza or looking for a snapshot of where one of house music’s most influential brands currently sits, Ibiza Sampler 2026 delivers exactly what it sets out to do: provide the soundtrack for another season of Solid Grooves.
