In the summer of 2022 Paco Osuna presented his residency at Hï Ibiza, the best club in the world, launching at the same time NOW HERE, the name and also the motto of his night at Hï’s Club Room. The concept behind NOW HERE shares the same feeling that has accompanied Paco his entire career, one that arises from his passion for electronic music and his determination to enjoy the present ATOPE. Every Tuesday at Hï Ibiza, in Paco Osuna’s Club Room, music acted as a catalyst for positive energy and the entire room was a vibrant dance floor where DJs and audience celebrated life together amid an emotional and joyful atmosphere to promote one very clear philosophy: to live the present and enjoy the moment to the full. After the summer, NOW HERE hosted events in Barcelona and at Space Miami.
