Friday night, 30 May 2025. Ibiza. The season officially began with the most anticipated reopening in years. UNVRS, the club formerly known as Privilege, roared back to life after a six-year silence, transforming its colossal structure into something more than a club. Under the creative direction of The Night League, UNVRS unveiled itself not just as a venue, but as a full-blown sensory narrative.
Perched near San Rafael, the reimagined space welcomed nearly 10,000 clubbers into its multi-dimensional universe. From the moment you stepped into the UFO-shaped entrance and descended the grand staircase into the dome, it was clear that this wasn’t just another Ibiza night—it was the start of a new era. The “Tree of Life” sculpture pulsed from the center of the main room like a beating heart. Surrounding it, a surreal playground of LED-lit corridors, mirrored ceilings, suspended platforms, and hidden lounges unfolded like a sci-fi dream.
The production was cinema-level. Moving lasers, floating acrobats, intelligent lighting rigs, and cascading CO₂ bursts worked in perfect sync with the custom-built L-Acoustics system. The result was a room that didn’t just sound good—it felt alive. You didn’t watch the show; you were in it.
Carista had the honor of opening the night with a warm, vinyl-textured set that included Tornado Wallace’s “Bitter Suite,” the first track to officially echo through UNVRS. Ahmed Spins and the duo Adam Ten b2b Mita Gami followed, crafting a journey through deep grooves, Afro-tinged rhythms, and percussive breaks that got the massive dancefloor moving.
But it was Michael Bibi who shifted the gear. Back on stage after months away from touring, his set was heavy, tactile, and raw. Basslines rolled like thunder across the dome while strobes cut through the smoke. The energy peaked, then got even higher when Joseph Capriati joined The Martinez Brothers for a marathon back-to-back session that fused rolling techno with New York swagger.
As dawn approached, Carl Cox and Jamie Jones stepped into the booth for a historic sunrise set. The crowd erupted as “Playing With Knives” tore through the sound system while daylight crept through the glass panels high above the decks. It was euphoric, emotional, and timeless.
Beyond the main floor, the club held secrets. One bathroom was transformed into a pop-up micro club dubbed “Wild Comet,” where Pascal Moscheni and Salomé Le Chat dropped high-BPM cuts to a tightly packed, grinning crowd. Another hallway led to an intimate karaoke lounge, while VICIO served burgers just meters away from a sky terrace overlooking the island. These were not gimmicks—they were side quests in an immersive experience.
People got lost and found again. Some wandered into mirror tunnels. Others found themselves dancing under laser trees in the Gravity Garden. And when it all ended, it didn’t feel like closing time. It felt like the end of a chapter in a story you wanted to keep reading.
UNVRS isn’t just a return. It’s a reinvention. A bold, architectural, audiovisual statement that nightlife can still surprise, still inspire, and still bring people together in ways we haven’t seen before.
Ibiza doesn’t just have its biggest club back. It has a new myth in the making.
