Chinois Grand Opening feat. Claptone, Eli & Fur + More

Chinois Ibiza launches its fourth season, its biggest yet, with the official Grand Opening party on Sunday 27th April, kicking off at the new opening time of 23.30. Five superb acts are lined up to ignite the 2025 summer with a typically Chinois flourish, down at the White Isle’s Marina inside the Gran Hotel.

Chinois is ‘the club of Ibiza’, sharing the life of the locals, the magical spirit of the island and its unique energy with worldwide visitors to form an inclusive, diverse community connected by the music, the dancefloor, and the ambience. Welcome to the sensuous pleasure dome of Chinois, with its state of the art sound system, extravagant visuals, and the world’s best DJs. 

CLAPTONE, the provocative Man in the Golden Mask, headlines with his magic, mystery and seductive house music. The enigmatic performer, whose identity is a secret ‘outside space and time’, was a guest DJ last season, so Chinois is delighted that this year he returns hosting his ‘The Masquerade’ residency every Saturday May 24th to October 4th. The Grand Opening is an extra chance to escape day to day reality and share the impossible with Claptone. 

ELI & FUR: the London-born, LA-based platonic soulmates’ dark, emotive house/techno dance anthems, evocative vocals, cascading synths, and recently live performances, have graced stages like Coachella, Cercle festival, Tomorrowland, Printworks, Ultra Miami… They’ve released on labels like [PIAS] Électronique, Anjunadeep, Armada Deep, and their own NYX Music.

NITEFREAK: the Zimbabwean House/Afro House star recently emerged onto larger stages trailing a Gold first single, plus 2023 Bulawayo Arts Awards for Outstanding Club DJ, Worldwide Ambassador, and Song of the Year for his ‘Premier Gaou’ remix of Francis Mercier. Already he’s had support from Forbes, and released on Higher Ground and Deep Root Records.

PAUZA aka Paula & Zahira from Havana, Cuba, the first female duo on the island of Cuba, bring the heat, with house music with Latin beats and Yoruba folklore elements. Their DJ sets are spontaneous, responding to the crowd, but always ‘all fire’, with live instruments or other creative touches added. ‘Folklore, Cuba, tradition, rum’ is the flavour of their vibe, so summer is heating up early.

BRUZ, originally from the Netherlands, now firmly based in Ibiza, is a Chinois favourite, gracing the club with his glorious sets regularly last year, plus as resident at Chinois’ sister venue Beachouse, Though notorious in Ibiza, he’s firmly established himself as a global talent.  Hot music, hot talent, it’s a scorching start to summer in Ibiza at Chinois.
