BEONIX WELCOMES 25,000 GUESTS TO ITS FIFTH EDITION IN LIMASSOL

BEONIX brought its fifth edition to a close on September 27, welcoming 25,000 guests to ETKO in Limassol for three days of electronic music, art and culture.

Taking place from September 25-27 under the theme Trip to the 9th Planet, BEONIX 2026 featured 68 artists across four stages, with a programme spanning house, melodic techno, harder-edged techno and more alternative electronic sounds. Established names including Adam Beyer, ARGY, Bedouin, Benny Benassi, CamelPhat, Jan Blomqvist, Monolink and Röyksopp shared the bill with emerging international talent and artists from Cyprus.

The setting remained central to the festival’s identity. Housed in ETKO, a restored former industrial winery, BEONIX brought the venue to life with large-scale art installations, roaming performers and an expanding collection of street art - the largest open-air collection of its kind in Cyprus. New murals by international artists added to the site’s visual landscape, with the venue taking on a different character as the festival moved into the night.

This year also saw BEONIX deepen its ties with the international electronic music community. Five partner showcases - HÖR, Ibiza Global Radio, Desert Sound, Franky Wah & Friends and LEGGO - brought distinct musical identities to the festival, each curating its own stage. The collaboration with Desert Sound extended beyond Cyprus, with a standalone Desert Sound x BEONIX event taking place in Riyadh ahead of the festival. Ibiza Global Radio and HÖR also brought BEONIX to wider audiences through their broadcast and online platforms.

With guests travelling from more than 50 countries, BEONIX continues to draw an increasingly international crowd while retaining a strong connection to its home in Cyprus. Five editions in, the festival has established a distinctive identity that brings electronic music, contemporary art and an unconventional industrial setting together.

Throughout the event, all venue payments were cashless, powered by payabl., BEONIX’s Official Payments Partner.

LA DISCOTHÉQUE CELEBRATES A DECADE OF DISCO WITH 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY TAKEOVERS AT THE WAREHOUSE PROJECT AND DRUMSHEDS

The Manchester-born brand celebrates a decade of disco heritage with its biggest homecoming show to date at The Warehouse Project, alongside a three-room takeover at London's Drumsheds.

Ten years ago, La Discothèque was founded in Manchester by Kat Warburton, with a glittering vision to reimagine the energy of New York's disco heyday for the 21st-century dancefloor. Debuting its first show on 12th November 2016 at Albert Hall and events across the UK and beyond, including a summer residency at 528 Ibiza earlier this year, La Discothèque now marks its 10th anniversary with two major venue takeovers this November. 

The Manchester date on Saturday 7 November marks a significant milestone for the brand as it makes its debut at The Warehouse Project. Taking over all five rooms of Depot Mayfield, the event will be La Discothèque’s biggest homecoming show to date, bringing its decade-long journey back to the city where it began. The celebrations will then continue at London's Drumsheds on Friday 13 November, with a packed three-room takeover.

Speaking on the milestone, founder Kat Warburton shares: “To celebrate this momentous 10-year milestone, we’re hosting two huge anniversary shows, one week apart, with The Warehouse Project representing the North and Drumsheds in London hosting the South.

Manchester and London have both played an integral role in the La Discothèque journey, so it felt only right to celebrate our tenth birthday with two official parties in these iconic venues, falling between the anniversary of our very first event on 12th November 2016.

I feel incredibly blessed to have taken La Discothèque to its tenth year. Over the past decade, we’ve built something truly special, driven by an incredible community that has supported us every step of the way. We can’t wait to bring everyone together this November to celebrate ten years of La Discothèque in the way it deserves.”

The Manchester celebration brings together a wide-ranging lineup featuring Basement Jaxx (DJ Set), Groove Armada (DJ Set), Annie Mac, Dombresky presents Disco Dom, DJ Paulette, Gerd Janson b2b Krystal Klear, Jayda G, Hunee b2b Luke Una, CC:DISCO! and more across the Depot, Concourse, Archive, Vault and Star & Garter 54.

Meanwhile, the London event at Drumsheds will feature Purple Disco Machine, Folamour, Dan Shake and the return of the La Discothèque Orchestra. The programme also includes a room curated by Jayda G, featuring Ron Trent, Jennifer Loveless and Tarzsa, as well as Heléna Star, Daisybelle and more.

Inspired by the electricity of Paradise Garage and the glamour of Studio 54, La Discothéque has grown from an intimate party into an international series of events driven by a family-first ethos where individuality reigns supreme and every dancefloor feels like a homecoming. Renowned for its immersive, high-energy atmosphere, attendees can expect an explosion of vibrant disco energy, high-glamour theatrics, and extravagant production from the moment they step inside. 

Famed for its trademark troupe of flamboyant flamingo performers, shimmering disco balls, and lineups uniting established pioneers and rising talent, the brand has built its legacy through a series of landmark events. Five sold-out shows at Printworks London were followed by the honour of hosting the opening party at Drumsheds, before the brand returned to sell out the 15,000-capacity venue. Across five summers in Ibiza, it has staged events at Pikes, 528 Ibiza, Lío, O Beach and Ibiza Rocks, alongside festival stage takeovers at Kala, Eastern Electrics and Elrow, and appearances at Manchester Pride.

Rising from stage and room hosts to full venue takeovers, the brand’s next chapter is expanding into North America, Europe and Asia, with founder Kat Warburton leading as CEO as they build on a decade of growth. With a full circle homecoming at The Warehouse Project in Manchester and its biggest return yet to London's Drumsheds, La Discothèque is celebrating how far it has come while setting the stage for the next ten years.

AVALON & GMS REMIX CHARLOTTE DE WITTE ‘HOW YOU MOVE’ VIA THEIR NEW MONIKER ‘AGE OF ACID’

Charlotte de Witte’s much-loved mid-2024 single, techno anthem ‘How You Move’, gets a psytrance makeover from Avalon & GMS, AKA ‘Age of Acid’ - this is their debut release as an official artist duo under their new moniker. Their remix is out now on RPM by KNTXT.

de Witte’s previous support for the mind-expanding combo includes releasing their debut collab EP ‘The Underground’ on KNTXT, and including their remix of ‘A Prayer for the Dancefloor’ on the deluxe version of her debut LP. 

‘The boys are back! I'm very honoured to have Avalon & GMS once again on remix duties for one of my tracks, and this time with their brand new project 'Age of Acid' Charlotte says. ‘'How You Move', originally released in 2024, gets taken to a whole other level and quite literally reaches new dimensions. It's just another confirmation of the love between these two genres in the realm of electronic music. And more is coming…’

‘How You Move’ (Age of Acid Remix): the full-on hypnotic, increasingly acidic attack, and fast but subtly placed rap of the original is chopped into multiple mind-bending trancey breakdowns, builds and breaks, with skittery melodic synth themes, while a commanding rhyming rap is processed, broken up, and brought forward, and the fizzing acid elements get an extra acid-drop vocal of their own. ‘Take it to the dancefloor’ indeed.

‘We both loved the original by Charlotte and feel this is one of our favourite remixes we’ve made so far’ Age of Acid say.‘Keeping the essence of the original, but also bringing our own sound and stamp on this acidic bomb. Also we are very honored to have it as our debut release for our new Avalon & GMS project together called ‘Age of Acid’.’

Both artists & friends are legends in their own right. London DJ/producer Avalon, recent Beatport #1 top-selling psytrance artist, has over 30+ psytrance chart #1s & 5 top-selling LPs , shows at Tomorrowland, Boom, EDC Las Vegas, Glastonbury, Exit, Burning Man, Ultra, ASOT, Ministry Of Sound... GMS (Growling Mad Scientists) aka Dutch Ibiza-based DJ/Producer Riktam boasts the most psytrance records released, 300K+ album sales. He established pioneer psytrance label Spun Records, and his tracks feature on three Tony Scott films.
