From the 80s hip-hop flair of first single Moulin Krew to the Fairlight CMI-fuelled bounce of her latest dancefloor heater Initialize, IBZALIEN is a masterclass in futuristic nostalgia.
Greta offers a deeper look into her sonic world with an exclusive playlist for The Night Bazaar, featuring her own productions alongside club ready gems from artists like Rex The Dog, Raxon, Cour T, and Egyptian Lover.
It's a collection steeped in raw energy, funky grooves and playful synth work and is the perfect soundtrack for a Mediterranean summer or a late-night session on a packed Ibiza dancefloor.
Take a listen below and read what Greta had to about the music.
Greta Levska plays 528 Ibiza with Maceo Plex for the Brunch Electronik Opening Party on Sunday 13th July. Book that trip, you won't regret it.
Greta Levska IBZALIEN is out now on Get Physical.
Greta Levska - Moulin Krew (Get Physical)
The first single taken from my debut album on Get Physical, Moulin Krew, an 80s Bboy, funk filled track that always lights up the mood. I played this for the first time at my Pikes residency in Ibiza & I can just remember the room starting to really vibe with it.
Rex The Dog - Prototype (Kompakt)
A re-release from Rex The Dog, a weapon that first dropped in 2004 & now still sounding just as fresh on the new Kompakt 500 compilation. I've been a massive fan of Rex for years, playing his music all over from my Amnesia residency, to warehouses across Germany. This one feels extra special, it has a blend of acid house, electro & uplifting synths which brings influences of Italo Disco, what a combination.
Raxon - Future (Greta Levska Remix) [DSK Records]
I had a wicked time remixing my incredibly talented friend Raxon. After playing together across Europe over the past 2 years multiple times, we share a great connection in musical styles & become great friends. It's a pleasure to have been asked to be part of his album remix package alongside Michael Mayor, Roman Flugel, NO_IP and more. With the remix, I wanted to bring something that would be reminiscent of our time on the road together, packing the feeling we have been lucky enough to share into 1 track.
Cour T - Labirinto Babylonia [Maccabi House]
Dynamite track from Cour T. I first played this in Barcelona at a club called Red 58 for an amazing all female line up curated by the wonderful Electronik Delight party. I'm personally a big fan of glitchy sounding synths & I love how this one EQ's in and out to take its moments while also giving space for the commanding vocals 'Set this place on fire'.
Tom Bug & Grooveline - Flush (REKD)
Love this collaboration between 2 wicked artists. Old school UK rave flavour all over this one with that huge synth line & vocal talking back and forth with each other - can see this going off at any festival this summer.
Dino Lenny - Don't Mess With Chemistry (Fine Human Record)
After meeting Dino Lenny at Hi Ibiza & catching his set with Damian Lazarus, I was blown away by the music he was playing so the first thing I did the next day was go check out his tunes. 'Dont Mess With The Chemistry' was the first track I clicked of his & it teleported me back to the club room where I had danced to it & tried to shazam it the night before. Absolute belter.
Kwake - Nucleus (WRECKS)
Goes without saying, Wrecks records as a label are permanent invaders of my rekordbox. I absolutely love the latest release that comes from the amazing Kwake. Such a distinct sound to his production & includes all the things I love about a real raw dance floor focused club track where the chunky bass line fully cuts through.
Gypsy Mitchell - Movin (Egyptian Lover Dub) (Modulor)
Probably one of my favourite producers & that is responsible for one of my favourite electro tracks of all time 'Egypt, Egypt', Egyptian Lover has delivered for over 20 years pioneering the scene into what it is today.
Always bringing a sleezy funky vocoder vibe, I love this Dub of Gypsy Mitchell and as a producer, I know how hard it is to make something sound 'simple' and not over cook a track. This just has a groove, big 808 business!
Wallace - Cravings (ft Love Letters) (Phantasy)
Fast becoming one of my go to labels, Phantasy is up there with the best of them & this track from Wallace 'Cravings' has it all. The vocal is so hypnotising, I kind of feel like it puts me in a certain mysterious mood every time I play it.
Landikhan & Mira - Laika
I have to thank John Digweed for introducing this track to me. I first heard it on his amazing Transitions radio show and have since played it out at many of my shows. I can see this being a track that lives in my sets all summer long.

Jay Kelly FIRST LOOK: George Clooney stars as Hollywood actor who 'always plays himself' in new Netflix comedy - days after the Oscar winner furiously hit back at claims he lacked versatility
George Clooney takes on the role of a movie star who 'always plays himself' Netflix 's new comedy drama Jay Kelly - days after he furiously hit back at claims that he himself lacked onscreen versatility. In the first trailer for the film the Oscar winner, 64, is seen questioning his life choices, despite being fawned over by fans and staff. On a trip to an Italian film festival in his honour, joined by his manager played by Adam Sandler, he's hailed as the 'hero of cinema' before being brutally asked about always playing himself. To which he snaps back: 'You know how difficult it is to be yourself? You try it'. George's character is seen continually reminding himself that he is 'Jay Kelly' as he and his pal embark on a whirlwind trip through Europe as it appears the glamour of showbiz has lost its appeal. The star-studded cast also features fellow Oscar winners Laura Dern, Jim Broadbent as well as Isla Fisher, Billy Crudup and Barbie director Greta Gerwig. The movie is directed by Greta's husband and fellow Barbie scribe Noah Baumbach, who wrote the script alongside British actress Emily Mortimer. The offical synopsis reads: 'Two middle-aged friends rediscover their youthful spirit during a chaotic weekend reunion, facing hilarious mishaps and heartfelt moments that force them to finally grow up'. The actor has had an illustrious career spanning 40 years, in which he's bagged an Academy Award for his role in Syriana in addition to a wealth of other accolades. But earlier this week during a recent interview with Variety, the Ocean's 11 star was asked about the doubts about his range as an actor, with George furiously snapping back: 'Do people say that I only play myself? I don't give a sh*t.' He went on: 'There aren't that many guys in my age group that are allowed to do both broad comedies like O Brother [Where Art Though?] and then do Michael Clayton or Syriana. So if that means I'm playing myself all the time, I don't give a sh*t.' Echoing a quote from his character in upcoming project Jay Kelly, he added: Have you ever tried playing yourself? It's hard to do.' The Hollywood hunk continued: 'I've been the beneficiary of having my career not be massively successful in lots of different directions. I didn't really get successful, in the kind of success that can be blinding, until I was 33 years old [when ER began]. I'd been working for 12 years at that point. I had a real understanding of how fleeting all of it is and how little it has to do with you, quite honestly.' It comes after back in March, George quietly revealed the real reason he has quit starring in romantic comedies for good. The film star used to be one of the most sought after romantic comedy stars, but in recent years he has largely stepped away from the once-popular genre. George opened up about his changing career in an interview with 60 Minutes that that focused on his Broadway debut in Good Night, And Good Luck, a play adapted from the Oscar-nominated 2005 film that he directed, co-wrote and co-starred in. According to the A-list star, he has simply aged into a new phase of his career that doesn't align with most youth-focused rom-coms. 'Look, I'm 63 years old, I'm not trying to compete with 25-year-old leading men,' he admitted. 'That's not my job,' he continued, before declaring, 'I'm not doing romantic films anymore.' Part of what has made Clooney so popular — which often translates to box-office success — is that he's charming enough to make non-romantic comedies feel as if they are rom-coms. Although his blockbuster heist comedy thriller Ocean's 11 isn't a traditional romantic comedy, the tension and humor that he brought to it with his costar Julia Roberts made every scene that they shared feel like a rom-com. One of George's most acclaimed films in the genre was an earlier collaboration with his Ocean's series director Steven Soderbergh on Out Of Sight. Even though that film had elements of a crime comedy and a thriller, his burgeoning on-screen romance with Jennifer Lopez comfortably sits with the best romantic comedies. George also worked with the Coen brothers on the screwball comedy Intolerable Cruelty with costar Catherine Zeta-Jones, but his Cary Grant–like charm and screen presence means that even some of his more traditional romantic dramas get just enough comedy to feel like rom-coms. His last official rom-com to date was the 2022 box-office success Ticket To Paradise, which grossed nearly $169 million against a $60 million budget. He and Julia Roberts reunited for the film, in which they play divorced parents who team up to put a stop to their daughter's destination wedding in Bali. Clooney also notes in his 60 Minutes interview that his life has changed in other ways, as he's now a married man with children, rather than one of Hollywood's most eligible bachelors, as he was at the height of his commercial potential.

Greta said she couldn't believe how easy the method was, explaining that the tape makes it "ridiculously easier" to see what you're doing.
