Thursday nights in Zante just got serious. On 30th July, ABODE is bringing two of the UK underground's most exciting house music talents to Pure Beach Club for an unmissable evening of tech house heat. London's Ozzie Guven teams up with rising star Emma 2000 for what promises to be one of the standout events of the summer 2026 season.

Ozzie Guven: From South London to Beatport Royalty

If you're serious about underground house music, Ozzie Guven is a name you need to know. This South East London DJ and producer has become one of the UK's most sought-after architects of garage-infused house music, and his journey from local London venues to international stages reads like a masterclass in dedication to the craft.

Growing up immersed in London's 90s music culture, Ozzie cut his teeth on Grime, Garage, and Jungle before finding his true calling in house music. Those early influences never left him though – you can hear echoes of UK Garage's swing and energy threaded through every track he produces. After mastering piano and studying the legacies of pioneers like Wiley, Dizzee Rascal, MJ Cole, and Shy FX, Ozzie developed a signature sound that's distinctly British yet universally dance floor-ready.

The breakthrough came during the 2021 lockdown with his 'Dubaholics EP' on Seb Zito's prestigious Seven Dials Records. The release didn't just chart – it dominated, hitting the #1 spot on Beatport's Minimal/Deep Tech category. But Ozzie wasn't a one-hit wonder. He followed up in 2023 with the 'My Jam EP' on Sidney Charles' Heavy House Society label and the 'Bassline Pumping EP' on Archie Hamilton's esteemed Microhertz imprint. Both releases? You guessed it – straight to #1 on Beatport.

That's five Beatport #1 releases to his name, cementing his status as a producer who consistently delivers club gold. What sets Ozzie apart is his ability to craft tracks with energetic driving basslines, captivating rave chords, and hypnotic grooves that don't just fill dance floors – they own them.

His Radio 1 and Kiss FM plays for 'My Jam' prove he's not just an underground secret anymore. Industry heavyweights like Marco Carola, Michael Bibi, and the Martinez Brothers regularly drop his tracks in their global sets. His sound has graced some of the world's most respected venues too: Fabric London, Warehouse Project Manchester, Off-Sonar Barcelona, and multiple stages across Ibiza. Now, he's bringing that pedigree to Pure Beach Club for what will undoubtedly be one of the most talked-about nights of the Zante 2026 season.

Emma 2000: The One to Watch

While Ozzie brings the Beatport chart credentials, Emma 2000 represents the fresh blood pushing house music's boundaries. This talented DJ and producer has been gaining serious recognition for her unique approach to deep house, blending progressive melodies with swingy drums and euphoric chords that create an emotional

journey on the dance floor.

Emma's sound is sophisticated yet accessible – the kind of house music that works equally well for sunset sessions at Zante's beach clubs and peak-time moments when the energy needs to soar. She's working hard to explore creative possibilities in production, and her sets showcase a deep understanding of how to build atmosphere and maintain momentum across a performance.

What makes Emma such an exciting booking is her ability to complement heavier tech house sounds with melodic depth. While many DJs in the scene lean heavily toward either the dark, driving techno end or the sugary commercial side, Emma finds that sweet spot where emotion meets energy. Her tracks and selections have that special quality that makes you want to close your eyes and feel the music, while simultaneously making it impossible not to move.

Pairing Emma with Ozzie is a masterstroke of programming. Where Ozzie brings the raw, garage-tinged energy and peak-time bangers that have earned him those Beatport #1s, Emma adds layers of melodic depth and progressive house sophistication. Together, they'll take you on a proper journey through the spectrum of contemporary house music – from deeper, more introspective moments to absolute floor-filling anthems.

Why This ABODE Night Is Essential

Let's be real – ABODE doesn't do things by halves. This legendary London party brand has spent over 10 years building a reputation for delivering authentic, high-quality house music experiences. From their legendary residencies at London's Studio 338 to taking over Ibiza's Amnesia, ABODE has consistently shown they know exactly what makes a house music event truly special.

It's not just about booking big names – it's about creating a community. ABODE has become a home for dance music enthusiasts who value authentic, organic house music over commercial nonsense. Their commitment to fostering genuine connections through music has made them a beacon in the UK scene and beyond.

Now they've brought that expertise to Zante every Thursday at Pure Beach Club, and the July 30th lineup featuring Ozzie Guven and Emma 2000 is a perfect example of their commitment to booking DJs who represent the cutting edge of the UK underground. These aren't mainstream commercial DJs playing the same tracks you've heard a hundred times. These are the artists shaping the sound of tomorrow's house music scene, and you're getting them in the intimate setting of one of Zante's premier venues.

The production values alone make ABODE stand out. We're talking world-class sound systems that do justice to those carefully crafted basslines, lighting that enhances rather than overwhelms, and an atmosphere that puts the music front and center. When you combine that with Pure Beach Club's stunning beachfront location, you've got something truly special.

The timing is perfect too. Running from 6pm to 10pm, ABODE gives you the ideal start to your Thursday night. You'll catch those golden hour sunset vibes as the party begins, experience four hours of world-class house music as the sun dips below the horizon, and still have plenty of energy (and time) to continue your night at other Zante venues. Many ABODE attendees head straight to Cherry Bay afterward to keep the party going into the early hours, and with your Zante Bible discount wristband, you'll get priority entry and exclusive deals.

What to Expect on the Night

Event Details:

Date: Thursday, 30th July 2026
Time: 6:00pm - 10:00pm
Venue: Pure Beach Club, Laganas
Lineup: Ozzie Guven & Emma 2000

Arrive early – ideally around 5:45pm – to get yourself sorted before the music starts. Pure Beach Club transforms into a house music paradise every Thursday, with ABODE's signature production values turning the beachfront venue into something extraordinary. Expect world-class sound systems that make every kick drum hit just right, professional lighting that creates atmosphere without overwhelming, and a crowd that's there for the music.

This isn't your typical pool party where the music is background noise. ABODE events attract genuine house music fans who understand the culture and respect the craft. You'll be surrounded by people who know the difference between a good DJ and a great one, and who appreciate the journey that artists like Ozzie and Emma take you on.

What to Wear: This is a pool party with serious music credentials. Swimwear is perfectly acceptable – it's a beach club after all, and that pool will be tempting when you've been dancing for a couple of hours. But many attendees rock festival-style summer gear: comfortable shorts or skirts, light breathable tops, and trainers or sandals you can dance in. The key is staying comfortable while looking the part. You'll be dancing, possibly dipping in the pool, and definitely working up a sweat to those basslines.

The ABODE Experience: Expect free merchandise on entry for early arrivals, 2-for-1 drinks throughout the night, professional dancers and entertainment, and that intangible ABODE energy that's made them legendary in the house music world. The community vibe is real – people come to ABODE events to connect through music, to discover new sounds, and to be part of something bigger than just another night out.
