Studio 338's Garden Opening is always one of the most popular events of the year. In 2022, it lands on 14th May as 338 unveil their inner-city OASIS production for the season.

Release has been leading from the front at Studio 338 for a while now.

It ushers in summer in London and the start of open-air parties in Greenwich and this year the beautiful outdoor space becomes The OASIS.

After two years of lockdowns and restrictions, we emerged from the pandemic to find an inner-city haven complete with flamingos, camels, desert flowers, cocktails, street food, shisha and of course a huge VOID sound system and incredible DJs at the controls.

They include the Ibiza favourite and UK house star Richy Ahmed, Spanish techno titan Paco Osuna,, master minimal from Pampa's Robag Wruhme, dark wave disco and techno from Magda and more from Joey Daniel as well as residents Hypoxia and Andrew Kay.

ULTRA'S ‘MISSION: HOME’ CELEBRATED AS MOST EXTENSIVE SUSTAINABILITY PROGRAM ACROSS AMERICA’S LEADING ELECTRONIC MUSIC FESTIVALS

Ultra successfully executed 30 ‘Mission: Home’ sustainability initiatives at the 22nd annual, sold-out festival which took place March 25 - 27 at Miami’s Bayfront Park

Since launching at Ultra Music Festival in 2019, ‘Mission: Home’ has collectively reached more than 5.5 million people and reduced the use of more than 1.1 million plastic items

After Ultra launched its ‘Mission: Home’ sustainability program at Virginia Key in 2019, a third-party collective of environmental organizations declared that “Ultra Music Festival set the bar in festival greening.” The inaugural program actioned unprecedented shifts among vendors, staff, crew, employees and attendees who collectively decreased environmental impact. Together, they successfully reduced 526,000 plastic items from the waste stream, diverted more than 60,000 pounds of waste from landfill, achieved an impressive 100% acceptance of recycling loads at the local facility, and reached more than 2.7 million people worldwide.

When Ultra returned to its longtime home of Bayfront Park from March 25 - 27 for its sold-out, 22nd annual edition, it became clear that ‘Mission: Home’ had become part of the fabric of the organization. The program’s debut at the Downtown Miami venue continues the mission of “preserving our home, reducing our environmental impact and inspiring our community to protect the planet.” After successfully executing 30 different sustainability initiatives this year, ‘Mission: Home’ has anchored itself as the most extensive sustainability program across America’s leading electronic music festivals.

Across both years of Ultra Music Festival’s‘Mission: Home’ programs, the environmental impact data speaks for itself. Between the 2022 and 2019 festivals, ‘Mission: Home’ has diverted more than 128,000 pounds of waste from landfill, a weight heavier than 1.5 fully grown humpback whales! In addition to recycling and composting, ‘Mission: Home’ took waste diversion a step further this year by physically rescuing over 22,500 pounds of unused food, beverages and other supplies which were donated to local homeless outreach center, Miami Rescue Mission and other community partners. “Food rescue is so important! The food received from Ultra fed approximately 2,800 meals,” said Anthony Perrone, Food Service Coordinator at The Caring Place, which includes Miami Rescue Mission.

The 2022 festival brought back other waste reduction initiatives from the 2019 program like water refill stations and bans on Styrofoam as well as certain single-use plastics and bioplastics. Across both ‘Mission: Home’ festival programs, more than 1.1 million plastic items have been eliminated from entering the waste stream. Together, event bar operations and plastic and Styrofoam-free food vendors have helped reduce an impressive 85% of the types of single-use plastic previously distributed, including cups, straws, plates, cutlery and many other food service wares.

‘Mission: Home’s extensive program of 30 ambitious initiatives are aimed at the objectives of Waste Reduction, Pollution Prevention, Nature Preservation, Community Engagement and, new in 2022, Climate Action. For this new focus on climate, Ultra partnered with internationally renowned energy experts ZAP Concepts and Miami-based carbon offsetter Climate Futures to implement initiatives like energy efficiency and carbon footprint studies, as well as support for verified carbon offsetting projects. Additionally, attendees were educated on understanding their own carbon footprint via an onsite VR experience and given tools to do their own offsetting using a custom Ultra portal within Climate Future’s 1PLANET app.

One feature of Ultra’s previous Pollution Prevention and Nature Preservation objectives was the Leave No Trace campaign, which began with online messaging and later dispersed a plethora of physical and digital signage across the 2019 festival. This year, advanced messaging and signage returned alongside new cigarette disposal towers and “Connect to Nature” displays which educated attendees about Biscayne Bay’s delicate and essential ecosystem, via a partnership with Ocean Conservancy.

Additionally, to prevent litter from entering Biscayne Bay’s stormwater systems, temporary screens were applied to 25 storm drains in the Park by ocean pollution prevention company SOP Technologies. This impressive initiative marked the first time that a large-scale event protected Biscayne Bay to such an extent, which is typically only used as legally required on construction sites.

‘Mission: Home’ also boasted widespread Community Engagement efforts. 159 volunteers and 16 partners joined forces with Ultra to participate in multiple program initiatives. Ultra’s 55,000 daily attendees were able to educate themselves via signage and local environmental organizations present at the onsite Eco Village, while millions of Ultranauts worldwide learned about ‘Mission: Home’ virtually via the festival’s social media channels and #ULTRALIVE stream.

The ‘vision’ of the ‘Mission: Home’ program is “to expand the environmental consciousness of everyone our programs reach, positively shifting behavior both on and off festival grounds." Between both the 2022 and 2019 festivals, ‘Mission: Home’ has reached over 5.5 million people on social media alone, or more than 100 festivals worth of daily attendees.

“Our home must be protected,” states ‘Mission: Home’s artwork, a call to action featured on every single piece of thousands made for the campaign. With each passing year, Ultra continues to utilize the power of its platform as an opportunity to spread this inspiring and increasingly important message, both locally and globally.

After the overwhelming success of the debut last year, Amnesia is heading back to Zrce Beach on the Stunning Island of Pag in Croatia from Sunday 30 May to Thursday 2 June 2022. The world famous club will raise the bar as it brings an authentic Ibiza experience to the hedonistic Zrce Beach with a multi stage event and an international line-up of DJ talent from across the house and techno spectrum as well as boat parties, after parties and plenty of day time water sports, and high octane activities plus onsite Glamping.

The 2022 edition kicks off with a hell of a warm up party on 29th May, on a very special off-location in Zadar at the Monument of Sun, just an hour away from Zrce beach. It is a historic location which symbolises the Sun while the solar plates absorb solar energy in daytime and are transformed into unusual light effects at night, with the ocean on three sides and a sure to be stunning sunset as the backdrop to the beats. Headlining will be Patrick Topping, Lauren Lo Sung, Marco Faraone and Pablo Panda.

Following on from the Zadar Warm up event, the party heads to Zrce Beach, and hosting the special parties across the four days on Zrce Beach are world renowned brands including Amnesia Presents, the clubs own colourful and international Pyramid brand, plus the gender-inclusive party He.She.They., the edgy straight-through crew Do Not Sleep and legendary local party and festival outfit BSH.

Against all odds in the middle of the pandemic, the debut takeover in summer 2021 was the most hedonistic party the beach had ever seen. It was arranged in just four weeks and saw world class DJs providing almost non-stop parties across the bay's famous sun kissed, open-air venues. It was a real industry meet up with people involved in all aspects of the scene coming together for some seriously good times.

Now in 2022 these four unmissable days and nights of partying with the Amnesia Ibiza family with up close and personal DJ sets with the festival headliners, as well as legendary afterparties that start after the main stage events and run until well past midday the day after. For those who like to be active in the daytime, there is a non-stop mix of water spots to try, ziplines to fly down and a comfortable on site glamping accommodation that allows you to relax and recover in style before you go again.

This is a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the ionic Amnesia Ibiza atmosphere in a truly picturesque spot. You do not want to miss this one
