After his world premiere of the CORACAO Party at O Beach Dubai, Jerry Ropero teasing a new single; “Pump It Up” at Made in Barlin in Dubai.
As the new single has been climbing up the streaming ladder of 2026. It’s been two months since the underground pulse of Dubai’s nightlife shifted to Made in Barlin, as international house heavyweight Jerry Ropero hosted an exclusive, high-energy pop-up party. The event served as the official eve-of-release celebration for his highly anticipated new track, “Pump It Up,” which officially dropped on a worldwide release the next day the 13th of Feb the night of the Valentine’s across all major streaming platforms by Union Records.
The night was a masterclass in house music evolution, blending Ropero’s legendary production style with a curated lineup of elite local and international talent.
A Night of High-Octane Performances
The energy was set early by DJ Diana Montana, whose sophisticated opening set warmed up the room with deep, melodic grooves. As the venue reached capacity, Jerry Ropero took to the decks, delivering a powerhouse performance that culminated in a first-listen preview of “Pump It Up”—a track that promises to be a mainstay on dancefloors this season.
The evening’s highlight was a breathtaking, unannounced collaboration that caught the crowd by surprise:
- The Surprise Duo: Rising star DJ Akmaral took the stage for an impromptu set, featuring a live PA by the soul-stirring house vocalist Lina Ammor.
- The Vibe: The synergy between Akmaral’s sharp mixing and Ammor’s powerful live vocals created a “lightning-in-a-bottle” moment that redefined the standard for Dubai pop-up events.
The marathon session was brought to a triumphant close by Deejay Pico who kept the energy at a fever pitch until the end of the pop-up party.
“The energy at Made in Barlin was the perfect precursor to ‘Pump It Up,'” said Jerry Ropero. “To have Diana, Akmaral, Lina, and Pico all under one roof, it wasn’t just a party; it was a special and private gathering of my closest friends I wanted to celebrate with.”
