In addition to his new weekly residency at Ushuaia in Ibiza, Desolat label head Loco Dice is also kicking off a new radio show for Ibiza Global Radio this summer, taking the same “Used + Abused” name. Dice’s partner-in-crime tINI is first up on the show’s guest list and she takes advantage of her time slot to pump in that beachside techno for everyone around the world, even those unable to make it to the White Isle this summer. The full lists of guests for this summer’s show has not been announced yet, so keep checking back on his SoundCloud page every week for another episode.

Tini closed out the evening with her signature deep techno sound that went on into the early hours of the morning. Read on for the full break down of the night.
