BY OSVALDO ESPINO A fter nearly a year of litiga- tion, Insomniac Holdings and the operators behind Club Space have officially settled their legal dispute, with the international music production company founded by EDM promoter Pasquale Rotella remaining involved with both Club Space and Factory Town. In a joint statement provided to New Times, Insomniac and business partners Da- vid Sinopoli, Davide Danese, and Jose Gabriel Coloma Cano said they “have amicably re- solved their dispute.” “Insomniac will continue to operate Club Space alongside David Sinopoli and maintain its commitment to Factory Town,” the state- ment reads. “Davide Danese and Coloma Cano will continue to operate Jolene, along with David Sinopoli. Davide Danese and Co- loma Cano will also undertake new projects.” The settlement brings an end to a bitter legal battle that centered on the future ownership and operation of Factory Town, one of Miami’s premier electronic music venues. Insomniac purchased a majority stake in Club Space in 2019, marking its first Miami venue, before ex- panding its partnership with Sinopoli, Danese, and Cano to launch Factory Town in 2022. Relations between the partners eventually deteriorated. In August 2025, Insomniac sued the trio in federal court, alleging they at- tempted to renegotiate previously agreed- upon terms by demanding millions of dollars in additional compensation, larger ownership stakes, and greater control over Factory Town. The company also accused the opera- tors of threatening a public smear campaign against founder and CEO Pasquale Rotella af- ter mediation efforts broke down. The dispute stemmed in part from an ear- lier mediation agreement reached in June 2025. According to Insomniac, that agree- ment called for the company to purchase the trio’s interest in Factory Town for $3 million. Insomniac later alleged the operators vio- lated the settlement by continuing to present themselves as controlling key events at the venue, telling promoters they had “won the lawsuit against Insomniac,” and interfering with booking and event planning. A month after Insomniac’s lawsuit, the Club Space operators filed a counterclaim, al- leging it was Insomniac, not them, that breached the settlement. Following renewed settlement discussions last fall, attorneys for both sides informed the court last month that they had reached an agreement. The case has since been dismissed, closing a contentious chapter for two of Miami’s most influential electronic music brands while allowing In- somniac to remain involved in the future of both Club Space and Factory Town.
