El Silencio announces the opening of Urusai Sunset Bar, Ibiza’s first audiophile bar
A soulful fusion of vinyl culture, Japanese ritual, and Balearic legacy opens 13th June 2025, at the sought after sunset destination of El Silencio Ibiza.
This summer, El Silencio Ibiza unveils URUSAI SUNSET BAR, the island’s first true vinyl listening audiophile experience, dedicated to vinyl-only DJ sets, deep listening, and refined encounters. Inspired by the Japanese jazz kissa tradition and shaped by Ibiza’s free-spirited roots, Urusai brings a bold new listening experience to the island’s evolving musical soundscape.
Set on the sun-drenched western coast at Cala Molí, Urusai is open daily from golden hour into the night. Inviting guests on a sonic journey across genres and generations, with a blend of Western and Eastern Jazz, Soul, Funk, Disco, Afro-Boogie, and Balearic Disco.
Curated by Jaime Fiorito, son of Balearic pioneer DJ Alfredo, Urusai's programming blends rare and reissued vinyl from the 1970s–2000s with fresh selections by a rotating cast of global tastemakers. The collection includes records by Alice Coltrane, Patrick Cowley, Susana Estrada, Degrees of Freedom, Nu Guinea, and many more, designed to challenge expectations and elevate the sunset experience to provide a new kind of sonic ritual for the white isle.
Urusai’s custom-built sound system delivers studio-grade clarity rarely found in nightlife settings. Featuring handcrafted coaxial speakers made from Baltic birch plywood, each unit is individually amplified to ensure perfect balance and tonal depth. At the heart of the system lies a hybrid analog-digital mixer, anchoring the experience and allowing every record to resonate with warmth, texture, and intention.
Designed by Kulapat Yantrasast (WHY Architecture), a former close collaborator of Tadao Ando and the architect behind the redesign of Met Museum’s Michael C. Rockefeller Wing as well as an upcoming expansion at Musée du Louvre - Urusai is more than a bar: it’s a sanctuary. The minimalist space, centered around a sculptural, vortex-like centerpiece, invites guests to gather, listen, and connect without distraction.
The URUSAI IZAKAYA fuses Japanese culinary tradition with local Ibizan ingredients. Chefs Taku Yuji Mikurya and Romain Littière offer a refined menu of toro sando, red prawn soba, crispy rice, and Ibizan vegetable tempura, complemented by natural wines and small-batch sake with specialist cocktails including lychee martinis, and wasabi margaritas.
Urusai isn’t a club or a lounge, it’s a community in the making. It recalls the spirit of Ibiza in the '70s and '80s, when aristocrats danced beside farmers, and music discovery took precedence over genre. Providing a place for vinyl heads, creatives, collectors, and those who crave something more intimate and intentional. Urasai is a place where people from all walks of life can come together, united by a deep love for sound, sunsets, and soulful connection.
Not to be missed, this one-of-a-kind listening experience in the global capital of electronic music, Ibiza.
