Not related, but Carl Cox just canceled his Red Rocks date this October due to "Production Issues".
Reschedule next year with The Chems!
Back to topic. Hoping we get some good clips Sunday. Chems really been frequenting Ibiza more often over the last couple of years...
Just going over the Ibiza clips on instagram and they played this again:

Must admit, this is a standout for me too! But as
@Wolkenkrabber discovered it's :
Quote from: Wolkenkrabber on Jun 03, 2025, 20:20THAT is Fulu Kolektive & El Mopepe "Nfuka". I can't find it on YouTube, but it's on Bandcamp. Jump to about 2:40 to hear the bit from the clip. I think the Chems have re-edited the track (and improved it for the dancefloor).
Among the clips, someone from side stage captured the (presumed) new track "Ring the Alarm". And as the camera pans over the crowd, it was pretty subdued... uh oh!?

I think they played it just after Free Yourself. I guess it's the one Chems track the crowd doesn't recognise amongst all the bangers. But it's possible that they just don't like it. I'm not sure how many people on the forum like it besides me (and BTW they had been playing it for a while before I flagged it up in the Japan thread). It is admittedly quite stop-start and maybe lacking a killer riff/hook beyond the vocals...

I said Nfuka was on Bandcamp but not on YouTube. I was wrong; here it is:

A little list of tracks in the Insta stories:
lack of acid
Do It Again (original, not the new remix)
HBHG kink mix
ring the alarm
Nfuka
Superflash
EBW7
GTKO
star guitar
all of a sudden/ too much weed...
swoon with No Geography spoken vox
free yourself
EDIT:
Am I the only one who thinks of this Sesame Street character when I listen to Nfuka circa 1:33 to 2:15?

Haha! Too funny. I was going to say the same exact thing if anyone followed up with any interest.
That fierce cookie monster vocal really makes the track. I gotta imagine Tom and Ed would love to utilize that in their own work. I actually checked out the full album where "Nfuka" came from, and it was surprisingly pretty good!

That's just Ibiza - you'll have lots of people just waiting for Carl Cox and just as many just filming stuff and not dancing. Especially further back.
