GORDO kicks off TARAKA residency at Pacha Ibiza with an electric opening night
The final chapter of summer 2026 in Ibiza has officially begun, and it arrives with one of the biggest names in the international electronic music scene. On 25 August, GORDO launched TARAKA, his new six-week residency at Pacha Ibiza, with an opening night that brought together a packed crowd ready to experience one of the island’s standout late-season events.
The opening night transformed Pacha Ibiza into a meeting point for fans of powerful electronic sounds. Joining GORDO behind the decks were Vanjee, Wade, Gustavo Domínguez and Gala, setting the tone for a night that kept the energy high from doors opening until the final track.
For GORDO, TARAKA represents another major milestone in an international career that continues to evolve. The Grammy-nominated producer has developed a distinctive sound built around house, tech and bass-heavy influences, creating an identity that translates naturally from the studio to some of the world’s biggest dancefloors.
Following global tracks including “Hombres y Mujeres” and “Sideways”, alongside production credits connected to Drake’s Honestly, Nevermind and his 2026 album Maid of Honor, GORDO arrives in Ibiza at a significant point in his career.
His opening set delivered exactly what his audience came for: heavy low-end, driving house grooves, moments of tension and release, and a selection of his own productions that generated some of the biggest reactions of the night.
Also spotted in the DJ booth was Spanish singer-songwriter Bad Gyal, who joined the crowd for the launch of TARAKA.
Six weeks under the cherries
The opening night was only the beginning. TARAKA will run for six consecutive weeks, culminating in a closing party on 29 September, turning Tuesday nights at Pacha Ibiza into one of the key destinations for the final stretch of the 2026 season.
The residency continues on 1 September, with GORDO joined by Nicole Moudaber, Sacchi, Harvy Valencia and Tony Guerra.
On 8 September, the line-up expands with Shimza, Alex Wann, ARODES, Manda Moor and Gala.
Then, on 15 September, one of the most anticipated dates of the residency arrives, bringing together Vintage Culture, Patrick Topping, Sacchi and JØRD alongside GORDO.
The 22 September edition will feature HoneyLuv, Vanjee and Gala.
Finally, TARAKA will close on 29 September with Roger Sanchez, Gala and Abril Love joining GORDO for the final night.
TARAKA gets its own Pacha identity
The collaboration between GORDO and Pacha Ibiza also extends beyond the dancefloor. The two have unveiled an exclusive limited-edition TARAKA T-shirt, released through The Pacha Collection.
The piece is available at Pacha stores in Ibiza and Formentera, as well as online.
With TARAKA, GORDO and Pacha Ibiza have created a six-week platform combining club culture, a strong artistic identity and an international line-up designed to bring Ibiza’s 2026 summer season to a powerful close.
TARAKA has only just begun.
