Swedish electronic music icon Eric Prydz premiered his groundbreaking Holosphere 2.0 production at Ibiza's [UNVRS] club on Monday night, a production characterized by the venue's owner, The Night League, as "the most advanced club show on Earth."
The centerpiece of the show is a massive spherical structure that required every component to be custom-engineered from scratch, according to a press release. The installation achieves what the club describes as a "razor-thin balance between engineering-grade strength and near-total transparency," a feat made possible only by its cavernous main room and arena-scale infrastructure.
The visual content represents a collaboration between Prydz and a phalanx of digital artists, including renowned visual effects artist GMUNK. Working from a Los Angeles studio, the team filmed crystal orbs, plasma balls and burning glass in 360 degrees, then laser-mapped and stitched the footage into immersive holographic environments.
Each visual loop functions as what the creators call "a standalone digital sculpture," with dramatically improved resolution, pixel density and color depth compared to the original Holosphere that debuted in 2019.
Rather than a sequel, however, Prydz positions Holosphere 2.0 as a complete reimagining of his iconic show concept, potentially setting a new standard for immersive electronic music experiences.
"We’ve waited six years for this," Prydz said. "Not because we wanted to, but because we had to. The technology needed to catch up with our vision as every single part of Holosphere 2.0 is bespoke and original. This is what we always dreamed of."
[UNVRS], Ibiza's newest superclub, officially launched Friday night with a spectacular opening party. Watch a video of the debut of Holosphere 2.0 below, courtesy of Prydz.
