Astro&Glyde’s James Bem, fresh off the back of building his hospitality Empire in Spain, returned with a bang this year and proceeds to tighten his grip on the dance music scene of 2025.
This coming June 14th, NYC on da Beach presents intoxicating live performances from James Bem, Gaby Dershin, and Astro&Glyde themselves – an iconic event that promises to reignite the unrivalled euphoria of dance music from throughout the ages.

Taking place at Rota’s Beach Club ‘BhudaCandor’, Playa Punta Candor, Spain, NYC on da Beach brings together the past and present of modern music, celebrating a lifelong DJ and curator who has shared stages with the likes of Tiësto and Roger Sanchez, and introducing a handful of live DJs united in their desire to entertain and uplift audiences at an unmissable summer event.
James Bem has been performing in Rota since before 2014, his contributions to the music scene of Southern Spain are unrivalled, and the upcoming event marks a huge testament to his achievements – as well as a mass celebration of his 50th birthday, and an immense 30 years as a DJ.
Also featuring Andrew Vogt and Joe Mama, NYC on da Beach is Spain’s answer to the rising EDM stages of the US, and promises an illuminating dance event that’s both nostalgic and unforgettable for electronic music fans across the board.
The rejuvenation of timeless Astro&Glyde tracks like Dunt Dunt Dunt has played a huge role in reconnecting curator and DJ James Bem to the modern realm, and that fusion of creativity and clear appreciation for an unshakable genre shines brightly throughout his extensive repertoire. NYC on da Beach will showcase only the very best of those tracks from across the nineties and 2000s era to today.
