You’re almost 50 years deep. Does it feel like you’re preserving club culture or pushing it somewhere new entirely?
Preserving club culture today is, in itself, pushing it somewhere new. In a time when electronic music often focuses on spectacle and show, staying true to our core values — putting music first, encouraging people to be present, and simply to dance — is what sets us apart.
Clubbing in Ibiza is increasingly about content. What would you say to a first time clubber who walks into Pyramid expecting “the show”?
That the real show is inside your body, when you have your eyes closed and you are truly focused on the beats. This year we have implemented a new sound system provided by KV2 Audio, and engineered by PLUSMUSIC, that elevates the experience even more.
What does Amnesia’s dancefloor still do emotionally, spiritually, physically that the rest of the island may have forgotten?
Amnesia has history, different generations of clubbers have been on our dancefloor and you can feel it breathing through the walls. Many things may change, the industry evolves and transforms through technology but there is something that money and tech can’t buy and that is the years of being a sanctuary for those who choose to lose themselves through dance.
Describe a perfect moment in a Pyramid night. What did it sound like? What did it look like?
For sure, the ‘crowd cheer’ moment and the dancefloor becomes a single breath. A visceral ‘ooooh’ rises from the crowd, a wave that vibrates through the air, mixing excitement and surprise. Seeing and hearing people burst with energy, surprised by the DJ, feels like you’re part of something truly special. A shared moment that connects the whole room, even people working at the club, all moving at the same pulse. It sounds like pure euphoria. It looks like a pure explosion of joy. Moments like this show how powerful the music is under our roof.
Sound is sacred at Pyramid. Tell us about the new immersive system and what kind of transformation you’re trying to engineer beyond just loudness.
Our KV2 system is custom-tuned for both rooms to deliver precise imaging, consistent coverage, and crystal-clear low end. Beyond volume, it transforms the space into an immersive sonic environment, making every note feel alive, letting the music connect with every person on the dancefloor. This transformation has been made possible through our collaboration with our trusted partners at PLUSMUSIC, whose expertise and attention to detail have been instrumental in bringing our sonic vision to life.
You’ve kept Pyramid low flash but high emotion. When it’s working, when the system, the crowd, the artist all lock in, what does your team feel on the dancefloor? What’s the goosebumps moment?
The goosebumps moment is when you stop for a minute and look around in the crowd, and you see groups of friends dancing with their hands in the air, no cellphones, no flashes, just pure energy. A great example of this moment was the day Richie Hawtin played on our Terrace, the past 17th of August. His knowledge in music and his long history with Amnesia produce something unique, something that is hard to find nowadays.
