Pacha is a lifestyle and entertainment brand which specializes in nightlife and has club franchises in a number of countries including Brazil, United States, Russia, Germany, England, Egypt, Portugal, Austria and several Spanish cities including Madrid, Valencia, Bilbao and Barcelona. 

The first Pacha club opened in the beach town of Sitges in 1967 and first expanded to Barcelona and the Catalan coast.
In Ibiza, Pacha opened a club in 1973, and then expanded into the hotel business with El Hotel Pacha.
The first Pacha club outside Spain opened in 1993 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Then in Munich in 2000. Pacha London opened in 2001 and closed in 2014.

Ricardo Urgell, born in Barcelona in 1937, is the founder of Grupo Pacha. He is the grandson of Modesto Urgell. When Urgell was twenty years old, he started a water-ski school in Sitges. 
He then opened his first bar ‘Tito’s’ in the same town. 
The name "Pachá came from a remark made by Marisa Cobos, Urgell's first wife, who told him that with the money he was going to earn, he would be living like a Pachá (an Arabian Prince). The first Pacha club was Pacha Sitges, which Urgell founded together with his brother Piti Urgell.

In 2002, the Spanish Government decided to award the Gold Medal of Merit for Tourism to Ricardo Urgell.
Pacha Ibiza opened in 1973 and is the earliest superclub in Ibiza. 
Built in Ses Feixes and facing Ibiza Town, Pacha was designed to resemble a farmhouse. The club was featured in the 2004 film It's All Gone Pete Tong and has capacity of 3,000. From 1998 to 2017, Pacha Ibiza was the venue for the DJ Awards.

#ShadowProtocol  
#devsays – “In the dark, the signal repeats.”

Track Details: 130 BPM, Minor Key, Electronic × Synthwave × Dark Electro × Minimal Groove  
Mood: Melancholic urgency, cinematic tension, hypnotic repetition

Shadow Protocol is a relentless instrumental built on a punchy kick‑snare groove, hi‑hat drive, and a bass synth that outlines harmonic movement without traditional chord progressions. A bright, slightly distorted lead synth carries the melody — simple, repetitive, and urgent — while production emphasizes clarity, punch, and spectral space. Vocals, when present, are fragmented overlays: whispered alto or robotic tenor phrases like *“Signal fades, rhythm stays”* treated with shimmer reverb, granular stutter, and stereo bloom. The structure builds intensity through rhythmic layering and subtle variations, creating hypnotic propulsion. The track balances fragility and force, echoing synthwave grit, dark electro tension, and minimalist groove.

Mambo Brothers Live @ Elrow, Malta - 14.09.19

For any DJ and bedroom producer, the ability to “hustle” is often the most underestimated, yet most important factor in determining whether they will fade out or successfully make their mark on the industry. Good hustle is the epitome of both the man and monumental career of international DJ, Roger Sanchez. From humble beginnings in New York City, diggin’ in dusty crates of old vinyl and spinning at house parties in Corona, Queens, to dominating huge dance floors and headlining festival main-stages in every corner of the globe, Roger is truly a self-made man and a house music legend.

The crafting of Roger Sanchez, the DJ, started in the late 80s, where as a young man he was enticed by the explosion of hip-hop that was taking over the city. Embracing the culture as a b-boy and graffiti artist, he would hit parties on the Bronx River and before long, his friends had him trying his hand on the wheels of steel. In a time and place where hip hop, house music, and “turntablism” all collided in a perfect storm of creativity, opportunity, and sick beats, Roger seized his moment and began to build his empire on vinyl and slip mats, starting with a few singles and expanding into a massive collection of over two thousand original productions and remixes.
Releasing music under a multitude of monikers, including the S-Man, Roger S., The Nu- Solution, Underground Solution, DV8, Ego Trip, El Mariachi, The Funkjunkeez, Tribal Infusion, Twilight, and Transatlantic Soul, just to name a few, Roger has been able to maintain the essence of his sound, his flavor, his “sabor”, if you will, while still using each alter ego as a tool to expand on various fresh and experimental sounds. Each one of his multiple music personas have allowed him the opportunity to defy the mainstream and travel out to the far reaches of the musical galaxy, collecting depth, wisdom, and perspective along the way and applying them to his future endeavors in innovative dance music sounds, allowing him to remain fluid and cutting edge across decades.

So many successful endeavors would have never been possible without a rock solid work ethic, something that Roger prides himself on. From the very beginning, he was a dedicated crate digger, searching for obscure samples and break beats in influential NYC record stores like Rock & Soul and Vinylmania. His infallible work ethic, paired with the strong foundation of art and culture that he gained from the Pratt Institute’s School of Architecture took control of the wheel as his passion for music expanded, driving him to start hustling mixtapes on the sidewalks of Broadway in order to finance his earliest gigs. With the encouragement of his father, an engineer, Roger abandoned his plans for a career in architecture and decided to devote all his efforts to his music.
