Solid Grooves — Music Made Visible Solid Grooves · DC-10 Ibiza · 2026
The 'Music Made Visible' light sculpture: backlit triangular panels with the chromatic scale running diagonally, over the floor. © Mario Pinta Creative direction for Solid Grooves' 2026 season at DC-10 (Ibiza): eighteen consecutive Thursdays, June 4 through October 1, under a slogan that sums up the brief — 'Music made visible'.
The optical language takes over the whole club: the neon mural on the facade beneath DC-10's original sign; the spectral pixel frieze above the Terrace booth; the light sculptures hanging over the dancefloor; and the season's entire graphic identity.
Michael Bibi, PAWSA, Marco Carola, Chris Stussy, Seth Troxler and Solomun all pass through the booth. The sound is rolling, low-slung tech-house; the image, the studio's colour system taken to club scale.

The 'Music Made Visible' banners backlit over the floor — the studio's atom as a vertical strip. A row of backlit light-boxes along the club wall. The season graphic: 'Music made visible', the atom and the signature, in a spectral gradient. Detail: '…visible' cut into perforated metal. Production: one of the spectral LED panels, mounted inside the shipping container. The 'DC-10 Ibiza' totem topped with the spectral triangles, by day. The season billboard — 'Solid Grooves Thursdays' — on the way to the club. The DC-10 facade with the neon mural: 'Music made visible', signed Felipe Pantone.
