The word is out! The Butch takes over Ibiza with his first-ever residency on the island, and it is, of course, a very special one. No arena bookings. No names doing six Ibiza shows a week. The guest DJs are people Butch actually admires, high-quality electronic music for those who know. COME TO BUTCH launches this August at Chinois Ibiza as a short residency season: two Tuesdays in August and a closing night in October. Three dates. That’s it. Chinois Ibiza is the place to be. So, after hundreds of years of playing other people’s parties on Ibiza, Butch is finally throwing his own. And The Butch is up for some fun – with you! COME TO BUTCH.
The Butch himself: “Ey party people, what’s up. I have a big announcement to make. I’m doing my own event this summer, Tuesdays at Chinois Ibiza. And Adam Port, Solomun, Michael Bibi, Pawsa, none of these people are playing there. But I will be there, and other DJs. The event is Come To Butch, and The Butch will handpick you some really nice DJs.”
He has, as it turns out, been telling the truth:
Tuesday 18 August Butch, Demi Riquisimo, Jennifer Loveless B2B Fafi Abdel Nour
Tuesday 25 August Butch, Paramida, Najeh, Shawnecy
Friday 16 October – Closing Butch, Toman, Bambounou, Carl Bergé
Musically, it’s where Butch has always sat: all forms of house music and electronica, from groovy to psychedelic, from deep to euphoric, all in the same set.
Chinois Ibiza is, by the way, the perfect club. Good people, intimate setting, one of the best sound systems on the island, and a room where the crowd can still see what’s happening in the booth. A real club, not a hangar.
You may already have noticed the campaign on socials: Butch as a series of classical luring figures. If not, go straight to Instagram and check it out. Butch as a hairy lady, as a showgirl, as a witch, as a mermaid, as a fortune teller, as a dancer, as a cowboy on a fire-spitting horse, and a lot more. Butch absurdity in perfection. Each one performing the same beckoning gesture and delivering the same line.
Butch starts his Ibiza residency at Chinois off the back of various huge releases within the last months, including records on Rekids, Life And Death, Cocoon, Running Back, Permanent Vacation, and his own imprint Finicky.
Next up are releases on Saved Records and VOD, plus a remix for Partiboi69 and much more, including on his own label. Summer 2026 is full of Ibiza dates and festival shows all over Europe, including a memorable four-hour B2B with Seth Troxler at Monegros Festival.
