Ibiza 1 Radio Dance Station
Bedouin’s acclaimed SAGA residency, a cornerstone of Ibiza’s electronic music scene since 2017, is embarking on a fresh chapter this summer. The nomadic spirit of SAGA will now reside at Chinois, nestled within the Ibiza Gran Hotel in the heart of Ibiza’s Marina, every Sunday. This move promises to infuse a new energy into the residency, aligning with Chinois’s dedication to diversity, connection, and community.
For years, Bedouin, the duo comprised of Tamer Malki and Rami Abousabe, have captivated audiences with their unique blend of deep, melodic house and world music. Their ability to weave diverse cultural influences into their sets has earned them a reputation as one of the most sought-after acts in the underground scene. The decision to relocate SAGA to Chinois stems from a desire to maintain the residency’s freshness and fully realize its creative vision.
“To keep SAGA fresh and to fully embrace our creative vision, we needed the right space and people who understand it sonically and visually. For us, that meant Sundays on a brand-new canvas at Chinois.” – Bedouin
This transition signifies more than just a change of venue; it represents a strategic alignment with a club that shares Bedouin’s ethos. Chinois, known for its dancefloor-first approach and sensual visuals, provides the perfect backdrop for SAGA’s journey through time and place.
From June 29th to September 28th, every Sunday will be transformed into a portal to a transcendent experience. Attendees can expect Malki and Abousabe’s signature blend of deep, melodic house and world music, complemented by a roster of world-class DJs. While the full lineup remains under wraps, past editions of SAGA have featured luminaries such as Damian Lazarus, DJ Tennis, Seth Troxler, Desiree, Jan Blomqvist, Jimi Jules, Joseph Capriati, Mano Le Tough, Nandu, Luciano, and WhoMadeWho, among others. This pedigree suggests that this season’s guests will be equally impressive, ensuring a high-caliber experience for all attendees.
Bedouin’s influence extends far beyond Ibiza. Their SAGA movement has taken them to iconic locations around the globe, including Istanbul, Marrakech, London, Barcelona, Çeşme, Mykonos, NYC, Amsterdam, and LA. These global excursions underscore Bedouin’s ability to transcend geographical boundaries and unite diverse audiences through music.
Beyond SAGA, Bedouin has graced the stages of major festivals and clubs, including Coachella, Tomorrowland, Burning Man, Club Space Miami, and Zamna Tulum. Their hybrid-live set with Cercle in Petra, Jordan, Malki’s homeland, stands as a testament to their innovative approach and global appeal.
Bedouin’s musical prowess extends beyond their DJ sets. The duo has released a wealth of beautifully crafted productions and remixes on prestigious labels such as CircoLoco Records, Cercle Records, Crosstown Rebels, All Day I Dream, Nervous Records, Atlantic/Big Beat, Ultra, and Sony/Universal. Their own label, Human By Default, serves as a platform for their debut album and releases from artists like Nandu and Notre Dame, as well as remixes by Vintage Culture, LP Giobbi, Damian Lazarus, and Catz n Dogz.
Chinois, located at Passeig Joan Carles 1, 17, 07800 Ibiza, will be the new home for SAGA. With opening hours from 00:00 to 06:30, attendees can immerse themselves in the celestial dance and enigmatic atmosphere that SAGA offers. Tickets are available from €50 at chinois.com. The club’s location in the heart of Ibiza’s Marina, within the Ibiza Gran Hotel, provides a luxurious and accessible setting for this unique residency.
The move to Chinois marks a significant evolution for SAGA. By aligning with a venue that shares their vision, Bedouin aims to create an even more immersive and transcendent experience for their audience. Keep an eye out for the upcoming announcements regarding this season’s DJ guests.
