Some stories don’t begin on a stage — they begin on the dancefloor. This summer, Josh Baker deepens his connection with Ibiza as YOU&ME enters its most defining chapter to date, taking over Thursdays at Amnesia Ibiza throughout the 2026 season.
A landmark moment for both Josh and YOU&ME, this residency marks the realisation of a long-held vision and the next chapter in Josh Baker’s deep-rooted relationship with the island.
Josh Baker: His Moment
In recent years, Josh Baker has become one of the most powerful names in electronic music. With an instantly recognisable sound and a presence that commands dancefloors worldwide, his rise has been organic — carving his own path and doing things entirely on his own terms.
Built on connection and emotion, his journey has resonated deeply with dancers across the globe. Now, that journey leads him back to the island that shaped everything.
For Josh Baker, this residency isn’t just another summer in Ibiza; it’s the moment he fulfils a dream that has been years in the making.
From the Dancefloor Up
Josh Baker first arrived in Ibiza in 2015, spending every week of the season on the Amnesia dancefloor without exception. Not behind the decks, but among the crowd. Learning. Feeling. Absorbing the island’s unspoken language. Those nights quietly shaped everything that followed.
Last summer, that connection became impossible to ignore. Josh’s presence in Ibiza was undeniable — standout performances across all key venues, b2b sets with legends such as Jamie Jones and Luciano, and his image lining billboards across the island. Yet nowhere did that bond feel stronger than on the Amnesia Terrace.
Reflecting on that summer, Josh says:
“I think I played Amnesia around six times last summer. I really started to feel at home in that booth, and I think that was really clear at the closing party. That was probably my favourite set of all time.”
His closing set b2b with Luciano at Amnesia’s Closing Party is remembered as one of the defining moments of the season. A timeless session that reminded everyone why they come to the dancefloor.
It felt like more than a performance.
It felt like a signal.
From an Idea to a Movement
The idea for YOU&ME was born in Ibiza, shaped by friends connecting through music and shared moments. But it was in Manchester that the party truly began to take form. Bringing the spirit of Ibiza back home, YOU&ME grew organically in the north of England, built on intimacy, energy and community. Manchester became the foundation — the place where the sound, the ethos and the crowd were forged.
That balance between island inspiration and urban grit has defined YOU&ME ever since. A journey that has taken the brand from underground beginnings to a movement with global reach, including a full sell-out at Manchester’s Warehouse Project in record time. A trajectory every promoter dreams of, built without ever losing its soul.
The Beating Heart
The beating heart of any party is born from connection through music. A feeling of togetherness. That’s what you’ll find at YOU&ME.
At its core, YOU&ME is about connection.
Connection through music.
Connection between people.
Connection between you and me.
Ibiza will always remain the soul of YOU&ME, and at the heart of the island sits Amnesia — a venue that doesn’t just host rave culture, but embodies it. A cultural heartbeat of Ibiza itself, representing the love, passion and connection that define the Balearic spirit.
As Josh Baker puts it:
“I love everything about Ibiza. It’s a truly special place. But for me, the most magical place on the island is the Amnesia Terrace.”
Inspired by the experiences that shaped him as a raver, Josh adds:
“One of the things that excites me most about this residency is the experiences this club gave me as a raver. I had the time of my life every single week, losing my mind to insane music and connecting with friends and strangers on the dancefloor. I can’t wait to be on the other side, giving that same experience to people through YOU&ME.”
A Return, Not a Beginning
YOU&ME’s return to Ibiza last summer was already a statement. The brand’s event at 528 Ibiza stood out as one of the most talked-about parties of the season — a reminder of where the idea was born and a glimpse of where it was heading next. What follows now is not a debut, but a commitment.
Josh has spoken openly about Ibiza being the place where the seed for YOU&ME was planted, and how an Amnesia residency was always the north star for him and his team. Now, that vision becomes reality.
A Weekly Home at Amnesia
Josh believes Amnesia remains one of the few places on the island that still holds the true essence of Ibiza, and he couldn’t imagine a better home for the YOU&ME residency.
This year, Amnesia also celebrates 50 years on the island, making the timing of this residency even more special. Its legacy stands as proof that feeling lasts.
Taking everything learned from intimate beginnings in Manchester and formative moments on the island, YOU&ME now finds a weekly rhythm inside one of the most iconic rooms in global electronic music.
Looking ahead to the summer, Josh adds:
“This really is a dream come true, and everyone who joins us at YOU&ME this summer is really going to feel that energy — trust me.”
With Josh Baker’s meteoric rise showing no signs of slowing down, the YOU&ME brand growing at pace, and Josh reconnecting with the truest essence of Ibiza…
