YARD AND WHOMADEWHO BRING THE MOMENT TO PORTUGAL WITH DAMIAN LAZARUS, DENNIS CRUZ, DJ TENNIS, JIMI JULES AND MORE.

WhoMadeWho’s Copenhagen-based festival brand joins Yard for a two-day closing celebration at Portugal’s White Sand Mountains on 11–12 September

For the first time, Yard Portugal will host its end-of-season festival, ‘One Last Summer Dance’, in collaboration with The Moment, the Copenhagen-based festival brand founded by electronic trio WhoMadeWho, bringing two days of music, art and design to Yard’s White Sand Mountains in Setúbal from 11–12 September.

Headlining both days, WhoMadeWho will perform a live set on the Friday, followed by a Hybrid set on the saturday showcasing the group’s celebrated genre-blending sound and performance style. Elsewhere, the lineup delivers the very best in house, techno and melodic across two stages from Damian Lazarus, Dennis Cruz, DJ Tennis, Jimi Jules, Anthony, Brunello, Avangart Tabldot, Jamiie and Luch, with more artists still to be announced. 

The collaboration brings The Moment’s distinct identity to Yard. Led by an ethos that extends from the band itself, The Moment festival is known for its feel-good dancefloors and groove-heavy music, which has toured the likes of Egypt, Morocco, Brazil and beyond. Together, the two brands will bring a defining energy to Yard’s festival experience, which has become known for its striking location, art installations and free-spirited crowds.

Celebrating the end of the season, One Last Summer Dance will take over one of the industry’s most unique festival sites and home to Yard Portugal, the White Sand Mountains. At this striking location, white dunes and dramatic rock formations provide the backdrop for the Main Stage and Heart Stage, while production, lighting, art and visual installations enhance the environment’s natural surroundings.

Beyond the festival site, Yard sits within the wider landscape of Azeitão and the Arrábida Natural Park, an area characterised by vineyards, historic palaces and some of Portugal’s clearest beaches. With the festival supported by Visit Portugal, the weekend offers an opportunity to experience a lesser-known side of Lisbon, combining Yard’s distinctive approach to music and culture with the natural landscape, coastline and heritage of the Setúbal region.

The collaborative event follows a landmark year for the Portuguese brand, which has continued to establish itself as one of the country’s most distinctive music and cultural experiences. Its White Sand Mountains site has welcomed artists including RY X, Bonobo, PAWSA, Ahmed Spins, Rampa, Adam Port and Disclosure. In addition to this, Yard has also expanded its reach internationally with events in destinations including Rio de Janeiro.

Together at ‘One Last Summer Dance’ festival, Yard and The Moment will bring the 2026 season to a close with a special two-day gathering.

Once a year, an eclectic global tribe is drawn deep into the jungles of Tulum for a ritual where ancient tradition, untamed nature, and the hedonistic pulse of the dancefloor converge. On January 9th, 2027, Damian Lazarus’ Day Zero returns to the grounds where its mythology was first born, carrying revelers from the fading light of dusk through the deepest hours of darkness and into the rising sun. Today, Damian reveals the cast of selectors and live acts from across the global underground who will shape the next chapter of this jungle gathering.
 

Born in 2012 around the completion of the Mayan calendar, Day Zero emerged from the Tulum jungle with a spirit of renewal that continues to define the gathering today. Long before the region became a global destination for electronic music, Day Zero established a blueprint for experiences shaped by the land, culture, and communities around them — bringing Mayan ceremony into dialogue with forward-thinking music, art, and production. That pioneering vision has since traveled far beyond the Yucatán, with Day Zero expanding to Brazil and Bali in 2026, seeking out destinations that can become enduring homes or inspire singular, one-time gatherings while carrying forward the ethos born beneath the Tulum canopy.
 

Guided by Damian Lazarus’ masterful curatorial hand, Day Zero has always found its magic in the collision of sounds, scenes, and generations from across the electronic music spectrum. His 2027 selections continue that tradition, drawing artists from disparate corners of the electronic world into the jungle for a musical journey built on contrast, discovery, and the unexpected. The lineup features Keinemusik visionary &ME, Brazilian powerhouse Vintage Culture, electronic icon Tiga, New York house legend Victor Calderone, Maccabi House co-founder Mita Gami, Mellow Circus founder Brunello, and piano house favorite LP Giobbi. 
 

Reaching further into Damian’s musical world, the billing welcomes French house tastemaker Chloé Caillet, Apollonia co-founder Dan Ghenacia, revered UK digger Jane Fitz, genre-defying live instrumentalist Satori, South African house visionary Culoe De Song, idiosyncratic German producer Robag Wruhme, hypnotic Berlin favorite Mira, Swiss-French artist Deer Jade, and Romanian minimal pioneers RPR Soundsystem, comprised of Rhadoo, Petre Inspirescu, and Raresh. Ever committed to uncovering emerging voices and championing the avant-garde, Damian also welcomes London’s Hard Antoine, Tel Aviv riser Rafael, Tulum-based multidisciplinary artist LUM, and rising producer Mary Jane.
 

Deep within the jungle, El Teatro remains a home for the sounds of Mexico’s underground — a tradition born when Day Zero became the first international festival in the country to dedicate an entire stage exclusively to Mexican artists. For 2027, the stage welcomes Chihuahua electronic-funk outfit Midnight Generation, Mexican house prodigy KinAhau, Tijuana house and techno duo Soul of Hex, and Crosstown Rebels-signed supergroup Secret Echoes (Live), comprised of Metrika, Estefani Brolo, and Balcazar. The stage continues with dark-edged Mexican producer BadWolf, Mexico City electronic explorer Antaares, Tulum-based selector Jawar, live electronic artist Johnny Chief, and underground selector Katana — together tracing the depth, experimentation, and evolution of Mexico’s electronic music culture.
 

Yet Tulum remains the source, and Day Zero’s relationship with the land extends far beyond its dancefloors. Through Crosstown Consciousness, Damian and the Day Zero team continue to support the surrounding community and environment with initiatives ranging from solar-powered street lights throughout Dos Ojos and turtle conservation along Tulum’s coastline to beach cleanups and the restoration of various educational buildings in the area with blocks made from sargassum. Since 2022, Day Zero has also worked with Mexican company PETGAS to transform festival plastic waste into biodegradable fuel used to help power onsite infrastructure, alongside extensive recycling systems and a strict no single-use plastics policy across the grounds.
 

Day Zero’s connection to Tulum also remains rooted in respect for the cultural and spiritual heritage of the region. Working closely with local Mayan leaders, the festival incorporates traditional ceremony throughout the experience, honoring the traditions and land that have surrounded Day Zero since its beginning.
 

On January 9th, Damian Lazarus once again calls his global tribe back beneath the jungle canopy, returning to the source for another journey from darkness into daylight.

RAFAEL CERATO DEBUTS ON DRUMCODE WITH ‘RIGHT NOW’

Marking his inaugural collaboration with US techno mainstay Charles D, the new single will be available from July 31 as part of Drumcode's DC4 Vol. 5 compilation

Esteemed French producer Rafael Cerato marks the latest major milestone in his career with his long-awaited debut on Adam Beyer's iconic Drumcode imprint, joining forces with New York techno heavyweight Charles D for their collaborative single 'Right Now'. The track lands on July 31 as part of Drumcode's DC4 Vol. 5 compilation, placing Cerato alongside one of electronic music's most influential labels for the first time.

Built around driving percussion, old school vocal chops and relentless peak-time energy, Right Now brings together two artists known for crafting music designed for the biggest stages. Rafael Cerato's signature blend of groove, tension and melodic atmosphere meets Charles D's powerful techno aesthetic, resulting in a track that commands attention from the off.

The release arrives during what has become Cerato's most prolific and high-profile year to date. In recent months, he has delivered standout releases across some of dance music's most respected imprints, including Catch & Release (FISHER), When Stars Align (CamelPhat), belonging (Innellea), Ultra Records and REALM Records. His momentum has also been fuelled by a collaboration with legendary Italian producer Benny Benassi on Ultra Records, as well as an official remix of Michael Bibi's acclaimed single Different Side.

A long-standing figure within the underground scene, Rafael Cerato has spent over a decade building a reputation as one of electronic music's most consistent and forward-thinking artists. Having shared the booth with Solomun early in his career and collaborated with artists including ARTBAT, he has helped shape the groove-led sound that continues to dominate dance floors today. Now based between Marseille and Ibiza, his productions sit at the crossroads of Tech House and Indie Dance, earning support from leading names including Solomun, FISHER, CamelPhat, Tiësto, Vintage Culture, Chris Lake, Mau P, MEDUZA, David Guetta and Benny Benassi.

With Right Now, Rafael Cerato further underlines his place among electronic music's most exciting producers. As his biggest year yet continues to unfold, the release signals another significant step in an already remarkable run of career-defining records.
