One of the surprises of the night was the Brazilian Joanna Coelho with her incredible explosive attitude on stage. DYEN ‘s Impulse was enormous and he continued to raise the tempo of the ravers, who were ready for their electrifying sounds. VENDEX climbed the wave with strong songs and infected festival-goers with his dark style. 6EJOU with his usual musical precision and mastery of the stage, rocked the dance warriors and strengthened his unique charisma in Esmoriz. Franck conquered everyone and everything with his techno groove. With a lot of verve and totally surrendered to the audience on site, Ornella opened the circuit to the proclaimed Portuguese queen of techno Miss Sheila. Special performances by Stëh b2b Madson Carpenter and PK b2b LEMØS set the first rhythms of the day at the event.
