Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Dave Ball today.

As one half of Soft Cell with Marc Almond, Dave helped shape the sound and spirit of synthpop, bringing wit and experimentation to the charts and paving the way for generations of electronic artists to follow.

He went on to form The Grid with Richard Norris, creating some of the most forward-thinking, euphoric and Balearic electronic music of the ’90s. Tracks like Floatation, Swamp Thing and Crystal Clear blended acid, ambient and rave energy with irresistible melody, music that captured the optimism and openness of the era.

Dave Ball’s influence runs deep, from pop to techno, from underground dancefloors to the mainstream, a true pioneer whose work continues to inspire and evolve.

RIP Dave Ball.

Right now, trans people are the go-to scapegoat in the culture wars, with politicians, commentators, and much of the media exacerbating the difficulties of a community that’s already dangerously marginalised, and increasingly likely to be the victims of harassment and violence or suffer mental health issues.

In electronic music and club culture, we’ve long prided ourselves on being a beacon of acceptance. When a key part of our people, our culture, is under attack, we need to step up more than ever; if we don’t set an example, then who will? For our latest long read, we asked Sashkia Menendez, softchaos, Danni Spooner and HE.SHE.THEY.’s Steven Braines where best to start.

The thoughts of all at IMS are with the family and friends of Keith McIvor, aka Twitch today, after the legendary DJ, tastemaker and activist died at the age of just 57. As one half of Optimo, along with JG Wilkes, Keith not only put his hometown of Glasgow on the clubbing map (and Edinburgh thanks to Pure in the 1990s), he inspired a generation of artists, DJs, music lovers and clubbers around the world, from LCD Soundsystem in New York to Soulwax in Ghent to Franz Ferdinand. The duo's approach to their sets and their mixes expanded the boundaries of what club music could be, ranging freely over genres, eras and tempo, yet all somehow united with a unique sensibility of freedom and quality. Without them, it's arguable that the punk funk and new rave scenes that did so much to revivify our scene would never have happened - just witness the scores of artists who can trace a direct route of inspiration to the Optimo Espacio dancefloor. The long running parties at the Sub Club on Sunday nights, with their introductory hours of music for 'listening not dancing' their regular live sets, spectacular fancy dress parties and their welcoming community of unconventional thinkers nurtured not only artists, DJs and musicians, but a generation of creativity across the arts - and a tsunami of late starts and Monday duvet days from 1997-2010. JG Wilkes has vowed that the spirit of Optimo will live on, and Keith's legacy in the scene, his warmth, and his love for the music and the people on the dancefloor, will never be forgotten. RIP.

The late 80’s sparked a cultural explosion. As a wave of electronic music swept over Europe, the dancefloor transformed into a launchpad for creativity, community and lifelong careers, creating a seismic shift in the lives of many.

From navigating identity and representation to redefining artistic freedom and purpose, this exchange celebrates legacy, evolution, and the power of dialogue across eras.

IMS Ibiza isn’t just a summit - it’s an experience.

Beyond the world-class curation of 170+ sessions, talks and showcases, the 1700+ artists, speakers and delegates from across the global electronic music industry, or even the incredible night time program that all delegates have free access to, it's the location of IMS Ibiza that makes it the only summit you need to be at every year.

Those poolside moments at the Mondrian Ibiza & Hyde Ibiza, the stunning views over Cala Llonga Bay, even the early morning nature walk each year through the fragrant pine forest and along the limestone cliffs: they're as essential to the IMS Ibiza experience as the program and the people.

The sign-up for the exclusive presale for IMS Ibiza 2026 is already open. You know what to do. We look forward to seeing you on the Island next April.
