LUCIANO EXTENDS RESIDENCY AT IBIZAS CLUB CHINOIS FROM SEPTEMBER 3RD TO OCTOBER 1ST

Luciano has been a figurehead in Ibiza’s clubbing culture for over two decades, previously holding residencies at DC10, Pacha, Space to Amnesia, Destino and Ushuaïa. However, in 2022 the Cadenza frontman performed every Saturday at Ibiza's new marina venue Club Chinois from Saturday 2nd July to Saturday 27th August.

By popular demand, the Vagabundos head honcho will extend his weekend slot from Saturday 3rd September to Saturday 1st October, bringing the best underground talent to the club. Attendees can expect an intimate vibe and high-class sound right up until its finale.

Stating his excitement ‘My team and I are happy to announce that due to the incredible success of our Saturday nights at Club Chinois this Summer, we will continue our residency all the way through September until 1st October. Our Saturdays have made Club Chinois Ibiza’s number one destination for intimate vibes, joyful grooves and of course, our own brand of unique magiK. With the scene demanding more, it was only natural that our partnership with Ibiza’s most talked about new nightclub would continue.’

The series continues on Saturday 3rd September where he is back on the decks together with good friends Manda Moor and Ahales. Following that on Saturday 10th September Louie Vega, Anane will present The Ritual, whilst dear friends of Luciano - Alex Kennon and Reboot will headline on Saturday 17th September. Luciano himself will return on 24th September and will close the season out on 1st October.

North Coast Music Festival is ready to kick off its 11th annual edition, taking place Friday, September 2 - Sunday, September 4, 2022 at Chicagoland’s SeatGeek Stadium Campus. Check out the festival’s site map here.

With more than 8 hours of music blasting from six different stages each day, including special record label takeovers, this year’s North Coast Music Festival promises to display a weekend full of world-class electronic talent. Headliners include Armin Van Buuren, Illenium, Porter Robinson, Fisher (Catch & Release Takeover), Diplo (Higher Ground Takeover), Subtronics (Cyclops Recordings Takeover), Kaytranada, Seven Lions (Ophelia Takeover), Madeon, SVDDEN DEATH PRESENTS VOYD (GARDEN OF THE DECEIVER), Two Friends, Gryffin, Jai Wolf, Slander, and Tchami x Malaa.

Closing out each night at The Stadium Stage are heavy-hitters such as the trance icon Armin Van Buuren (Friday); emotive, melodic future bass artist Illenium (Saturday); and the storied dance music prodigy Porter Robinson (Sunday). Friday’s lineup at The Stadium Stage will also feature Two Friends, Madeon, and Gryffin; Saturday boasts Dombresky, Said The Sky, and Tchami x Malaa (for their No Redemption duo performance); and Sunday features names such as Jai Wolf, Slander, and Baynk.

Starting the weekend off strong at 2:00 pm on Friday, September 2, the house-centric Canopy Stage opens the festival with a Catch & Release label takeover, hosting label-boss Fisher alongside Martin Ikin, Grammy-winning producer CID, Eli & Fur, and Solardo. The Canopy Stage on Saturday will showcase Diplo’s new house label Higher Ground, with the man himself set to play an electric, headlining show supported by Yotto, Luttrell, and LP Giobbi. Sunday’s Canopy Stage lineup is equally as impressive, with big names such as the Montreal-bred, genre-fusing master Kaytranada closing out the night, and Channel Tres and Ninja Tune’s fast-rising house star TSHA ready to perform throughout the day.

Over on The Vega Stage, fans will be treated to a breathtaking collection of bass music and dubstep artists. Friday’s Vega Stage lineup is headlined by dubstep and sound design virtuoso Subtronics, who is hosting a Cyclops Recordings label takeover with artists such as the legendary dubstep specialist Rusko, bouncy dubstep purveyors Dirt Monkey b2b SubDocta, and multi-instrumentalist bass-producer Boogie T. On Saturday, melodic dubstep king and Ophelia label-boss Seven Lions will take over The Vega Stage for a headlining performance, with MitiS and Wooli set to support. On Sunday, SVDDEN DEATH will present his special VOYD (GARDEN OF THE DECEIVER) live show to close out the Vega Stage, with contemporary dubstep legends MUST DIE!, Eptic, and Marauda to play throughout the day.

In between acts, North Coast Music Festival attendees can cool off and kick back in The Chill Dome, a giant, fully air-conditioned dome with a couch cushion pyramid to climb and play on. Designed like a massive marshmallow from the outside, The Chill Dome immerses revelers in a psychedelic laser light show and a slew of funky DJ sets.

North Coast Music Festival will once again welcome the Incendia crew and their expertise in immersive, fire-oriented spaces for The Incendia Fire Pit. This massive, mesmerizing dome of fire spectacle will serve as another stage of amazing music.

The festival is also bringing back The Silent Disco Stage, where attendees can take a break from the traditional speaker-blaring experience and headphone groove to various DJ sets.

Attendees will also have access to The Rainbow Lounge, which is equal parts art installation & hammock chill zone; The Temple Of Intention, an interactive installation and meet up spot; as well as art installations and other experentials such as Sky Fields, The Zephyrs, Dancing Garden, The Giant, and North Coast Yacht Club.

North Coast Music Festival recently announced a new Platinum VIP Pass, which gives buyers access to the Platinum Lounge within the stadium. In the lounge, Platinum VIP Pass holders will receive complimentary drinks with a full bar, complementary food, and premium private restrooms. Platinum VIP Pass buyers also will get exclusive Skybox viewing of The Stadium Stage, access to GA & VIP areas with all amenities included, and separate Platinum will call and entrance.

OCASO FESTIVAL TO RETURN TO COSTA RICA’S STUNNING PACIFIC COAST WITH SOLOMUN, ADRIATIQUE AND MORE

Costa Rica's original and best electronic music festival is back and supersized from January 6 - 9th, 2023: this most idyllic gathering is a place to be spellbound by majestic sunsets, left in awe by the natural beauty of the jungle and a place to have your soul soothed by dancing around a sun-kissed landscape. This year Ocaso will host the only North American performances of Solomun and Adriatique before March 2023, with the full artist programme set to be announced next month. Secure your place at this dreamlike underground gathering now by getting your early bird tickets from https://ocasofestival.com/.

This year's event will be the biggest yet, with all new night parties in the jungle as vines hang down and humid and lush green flora and fauna provide the backdrop. There will be sunset  parties on the beach with sand between your toes and the ocean stretching out to infinity in front of you and a new purpose-built festival arena in the local town of Tamarindo.

Tamarindo is on Costa Rica’s Pacific coast and is world renowned for its beaches with strong surf, local major nesting sites for huge leatherback turtles and mangrove-lined estuary of Tamarindo Wildlife Refuge which protects animals such as howler monkeys and crocodiles. This means festival-goers can look forward to a week full of performances featuring DJs from across the world as well as some local favourites with many hours of dancing, positive community vibes and plenty of local connections to wonderful wildlife. 

Musically, Ocaso strikes gold once more this year with none other than global house icon Solomun headlining and bringing with him his uniquely melodic sound. The Diynamic label head and feature of the GTA game series is now on a level of his own, and will be joined by label mates Adriatique. The full 2023 lineup will be revealed in September.

Ocaso is a “leave no trace” event. Attendees clean up the beach in Tamarindo before and after the festival every year and are constantly looking for ways to reduce the carbon footprint of the festival. While in Costa Rica everyone is mindful of water conservation, wildlife, and the trash they create while visiting. These things are very important to Costa Ricans, and to everyone involved with Ocaso, as is the fact that it is a safe, diverse and welcoming space for all genders, sexualities and races. Ocaso is a place where freedom of expression is embraced as a defining characteristic. Everyone is welcome, and costumes are encouraged.

There is a wealth of vibrant colour and culture to explore away from the music. The many natural wonders of Costa Rica are there to be explored as part of a group outing during the festival making this the most unmissable music-holiday experience of the year.
