Road To Playa by Borak

Music, when created correctly has the power to separate you from reality; it is a rare power that brings infinite joy to others. Borak holds that power. This artist's deep and eclectic style creates energetic sets that offer not only an experience for your ears, but also for your body and mind. In Borak's music you'll hear the influence of his travels to Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America. His influence also comes from his early days in music when he played as a lead guitarist in rock bands and as well as the time he spent as a radio host and DJ at Turkey's Power FM.

The DJ career that started in Turkey took Borak across Europe and to Los Angeles where he has played on stage at some of the top festivals in the world including Burning Man. He has gained additional exposure with his recent co-acts with world-renowned DJs Blondish and DJ Tennis in Los Angeles as well as Patrice Baumel at Do Not Sit Miami.

The community that Borak has created with his music is the fire that ignites his musical spirit as he continues to grow in the United States and beyond.

Voices by Pasha Lebed

As the years go by, the melodies and rhythms only develop more and more in his head and he want to share this wonderful impulse with the whole world and give a sense of celebration and happiness.

Aldea Zama at Night by Drahm

Drahm is an Statement. While a lot of his peers in school were listening to pop music, Drahm was absorbing the intricacies of classical composers like Bach and Mozart. Since a very young age Drahm's ears were tuned to music that told a story. Classical music usually has long arrangements that takes you through multiple emotions. This is why his sets aren't just about experiencing one vibe, rather taking you to places where you wouldn't venture to by yourself without a trusted guide such as himself. Born in Iran, raised in Toronto,epicentre of Canada’s booming electronic music scene and inspired by Tulum, he has been immersed in the sounds of diverse cultures all his life. His worldly experiences are manifested in his music, and his sets take you on an uplifting, emotional journey that transcends borders.

You will hear the ancestral rhythms of Persian influence, urbane melodies native of his Toronto Underground house music upbringing, organic drums reminiscent of starlit journeys through the jungles of Tulum harmoniously incorporated into one beautiful, groovy story!" He is currently working on originals and is also involved in productions with likeminded artists and anticipates multiple releases by Late 2022.

Then I Realised by Bosse Faust

Bosse Faust is a native of Hamburg and the founder of the Copenhagen collective "Raveshalvøen". His love of music began when he heard techno music from a passing car at the age of 8. He asked his father about the genre, and he only answered: "Unz unz music". Since then, Bosse collected music and was already considered the DJ in his circle of friends, who was often responsible for the music. His travels to Africa, America, Asia and New Zealand further inspired his musical taste, and since 2019 he plays a variance of different sub-genres of melodic techno behind the booth. In 2020 Bosse made his debut in Denmark at Lulu Land's boat parties "Sunset Cruises" and after playing at more events, he hosted his first own event in Copenhagen at the end of 2021. In March 2022 he made his club debut at Culture Box and Ved Siden Af in Copenhagen. Immediately after that things took off in Hamburg and he played his debut at Club Frau Holle and in Waagenbau.

Crazy Nights In Copenhagen by Robin Schellenberg

Describing the sound and sonics aesthetics of Robin Schellenberg’s music, one could tend easily to use bold buzzwords like „Melodic Techno“ or „Deep House“  – but there is something more to it: his productions oscillate effortless through a soft dystopian void full of sweeping build up’s: His tracks are drifting endlessly into an infinite sky, twisting from warm unisonos into harsher electronics, just to break down into well-tempered saturated up-tempo beats. It's not Dark Techno by definition, but Robin often gets driven towards its aesthetic, without drifting into its cold industrial repetition. His tracks feel like a deep yearning for the horizon, pulling the dancer tenderly forward with soft melancholy. In his DJ-Set’s all of this falls into place, with tempi from 119 – 125 bpm, blending deep, dark and psychedelic elements into heavy sweeping bangers, to slowly lead the dance floor into a sweet and endless decay.

Be Kind by Isabeau Fort

Every little thing carries an atmosphere about itself. Apathy or excitement, bitterness or sweetness, malfeasance or wholesomeness, staleness or freshness. And so does the music. It’s very much like the weather. Music sets the tone for an entire experience. It heats you up or chills you down. Just like the weather, it changes all the time perfectly registering on the scale from calm to storm. Concerned with the processes and phenomena of the sonic atmosphere, Isabeau Fort is a music meteorologist. She is a scientist who closely observes and thoroughly studies the atmospheric conditions for good vibes in the room, and a sorcerer who conjures the weather of emotions, creating a certain climate of feelings on and around the dance floor – all in the spectrum of fine ones.

It’s all in the name of Isabeau who grew up on the shores of the North Sea, the land of ancient fishing villages: "Beaufort" is a scale that measures the intensity of wind in your sails from "just sufficient to give you steerage" to "that which no sails could withstand". Scaling in between Light Breeze and Fresh Gale, she is that wind – gentle, sometimes vigorous – that fills your sails, lifts you high, flies you far and brings you back intact, refreshed and enriched.
