The legendary Love Family Park returns for its 25th Anniversary announcing first headliners

by the partae
written by the partae
The festival has unveiled first headliners and for the first time, extends over two days
 
Date: 3rd & 4th August, 2024
Location: Rebstockpark, Frankfurt
After a much talked about return last year, one of Germany’s most prestigious open-air techno festivals Love Family Park is back once again at the stunning Rebstockpark in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. This year the 25th edition extends to two days and plays out on the weekend of August 3 and 4 2024 with two stages on each day. The first phase of headliners include on Day One Adam Beyer, Charlie Sparks, Loco Dice, Patrick Mason, Sven Väth and more and on Day Two 999999999, Alignment, Indira Paganotto, Mind Against, Miss Monique, PAN-POT b2b Sama’ Abdulhadi, Reinier Zonneveld live, Trym and more.

Since 1996, the LFP has been an integral part of the electronic music scene and a cultural institution in the Rhine-Main area. This year it makes its epic 25th edition as it remains a highlight for music lovers with a program that is celebrated for its mix of quality, tradition, and diversity with a lineup that reflects all the colours of the modern spectrum. The venue for all this is the Rebstockpark Frankfurt, a lush and open green space with the city’s skyline off in the distance that is very well connected to local motorways, public transport and the international airport in Frankfurt.
Last year’s first event in four years successfully took place without noise complaints and in harmony with environmental protections. The organiser reduced the capacity to 10,000 guests on two floors for the pilot project and because it went so well with great feedback from all, this year it doubles in size with 20, 000 people welcomed to the same areas as in 2023 but across two days. This minimises environmental impact and means that getting in and out remains hassle free for festival attendees.

LFP now has a long-term home that enables it to offer more cats than ever with the new two day concept on two bespoke stages with high class sound systems and cutting edge production. Once again the soundtrack comes from the cutting edge with Drumcode boss Adam Beyer, dark techno master Charlie Sparks, the chunky rolling sounds of German titan Loco Dice, brilliance from Patrick Mason, colourful sounds from the Cocoon hero Sven Väth, blistering grooves from 999999999, Alignment, and breakout Spanish star Indira Paganotto, melodic explorations from Italian pair Mind Against and Ukranie’s prog innovator Miss Monique, plus a special coming together of PAN-POT b2b Sama’ Abdulhadi, fierce acid techno from Reinier Zonneveld live and much more to come.

Love Family Park is an incomparable all-dayer that unites thousands of party-people from across Europe so make sure you are part of this celebration of the world’s finest techno and house. Tickets include free public transportation within the RMV area and last year’s sold out so get yours now for this spectacular 25th edition at lovefamilypark.com/tickets.
ABOUT FRANKFURT
The unique underground electronic sound of Frankfurt is part of the cultural identity of dance music as well as this city. It is known the world over for its unique groove and is also home to the vital MOMEM Museum as well as many local DJs, label and cult parties, so is the ideal venue for Love Family Park. What’s more,  Frankfurt is a global hub for commerce, culture, education, tourism and transportation that is rated as an “alpha world city” and is easily accessible via Frankfurt Airport.

written by the partae

“Vive La France” is the motto from July 10 – 14, 2024 at Neustadt-Glewe airfield. The electronic music world will then celebrate the 21st edition of one of Europe’s biggest festivals: AIRBEAT ONE. With over 60,000 visitors per day and over 200,000 over the entire festival, the fourth largest city in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern will be created here for four days. Next year, the festival area will be transformed into a small French town under the motto “France”. Every year, AIRBEAT ONE delivers one of the most spectacular line-ups in Europe and this is already on the horizon for 2024 with Line Up Phase 2, in which over 110 artists have already been confirmed.

In the latest announcement, seven more artists from the renowned DJ Mag Top 100 ranking – Afrojack, Alok, Deborah de Luca, Kölsch, Oliver Heldens, Tiesto and Vini Vici – will be joining the line-up on the main stage. If you add Armin van Buuren, Boris Brejcha, Charlotte de Witte, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Timmy Trumpet, Will Sparks and W&W from Line Up Phase 1, 14 of the 100 best DJs in the world are already coming to the gigantic AIRBEAT ONE Mainstage 2024. After their monster concert performance last year in front of over 50,000 party people in front of the Mainstage, Scooter are also a must this summer. And Neelix is also an AIRBEAT ONE resident on the main stage.

In 2022, the ARENA celebrated its premiere at the AIRBEAT ONE Festival. New headliners for the techno area include Danny Avila, HI-LO, I hate models, Indira Paganotto, Joyhauser, Lilly Palmer and Paula Temple. Anfisa Leytago, Cera Khin, Charly Sparks, Fatima Hajji, Parfait and Space92 complete the line-up phase for this stage.

Hardstyle fans can look forward to a real showcase of their DJ stars, just like at the Paris fashion shows. With Da Tweekaz, D-Block & S-te-Fan, Deadly Guns, Dr. Peacock live, D-Sturb, Mandy, Paul Elstak, Ran-D, SEFA, Sickmode, Sub Zero Project, Warface and Zatox, icons of the harder sounds have announced their presence at AIRBEAT ONE 2024. And that’s not all. 3 Blokes, Ace of Rage, Lil Texas, Mish and Rooler also join Angerfist, Brennen Heart, Coone, Dimitri K, GPF, Jebroer and Miss K8 b2b Anime from the first artist announcement.

In 2024, a new stage, the Classic Area, will celebrate its premiere on the site. Many fans have requested a Classic Stage and so some of the biggest and best-known artists from this era will be playing here on all three festival days. Brooklyn Bounce DJ, Da Hool, DJ Dean, DJ Falk, DJ Yanny, Ian van Dahl, Niels van Gogh, Rocco b2b Pulsedriver, Special D., Starsplash, Talla 2XLC, The Hitmen, Woody van Eyden and Ziggy X will be joining Charly Lownoise, DJ Sammy, Quicksilver and Kai Tracid.

The Second Stage presented by the Indian Spirit Festival, which has been open to the biggest trance artists alongside Goa and PsyTrance since last year, has artists such as Alchimyst, Atype, Berg, Blazy, Claudinho Brasil, Cloud 7, Durs, Fabio Fusco, Hatikwa, Morten Granau, Omiki, Phaxe, Querox, Rising Dust, Sajanka, Schrittmacher and Vegas in its line-up at the end of Line Up Phase 2.

Last but not least, the Terminal Stage, which for years has resembled a second main stage in terms of the line-up. With Blasterjaxx, Le Shuuk, Mariana BO, MATTN and VIZE, current and long-standing representatives of the DJ Mag Top 100 will also be at the controls here. High-ranking artists from the German DJ landscape such as Anstandslos & Durchgeknallt, AXMO, HBz, Housekasper, Jerome, Ostblockschlampen, Pretty Pink and YouNotUs join Die Gebrüder Brett, Gestört aber GeiL, Komacasper and The Disco Boys from the first phase. And with KXXXMA, a local hero from Schwerin celebrates his premiere at the AIRBEAT ONE Festival.

Tickets for the AIRBEAT ONE Festival 2024 are available at tickets.airbeat-one.de. Currently, the “3-Day Regular Ticket – Full Weekend” in pre-sale phase II costs €169.99 plus fees. The “3-Day VIP Full Weekend Pass” is available in pre-sale phase I for €259.99 plus fees.

Untitled Group, in collaboration with Thick as Thieves, brought the internationally acclaimed DJ and producer MK to Riviera Beach Club.

Accompanied by special guests Airwolf Paradise, Boogs, Cara Murphy, MINX, and Tyson O’Brien, the event promised a night filled with electrifying performances.

MK, renowned for his chart-topping hits and impeccable taste in house music, delivered an unforgettable summer open-air set on Saturday, February 17, 2024. Set against the backdrop of sweeping palm trees and breathtaking ocean views at Riviera Beach Club in St Kilda, MK’s performance was highly anticipated.

The highlight of the evening was MK’s recent collaboration with Dom Dolla, “Rhyme Dust,” which has amassed over 70 million views globally and earned the ARIA for Best Dance/Electronic Release. MK, also known as Marc Kinchen, showcased his expertise honed over years in the industry, boasting over 1 billion global streams and a string of timeless tracks.

Originally from Detroit, MK’s musical journey has seen him collaborate and remix tracks for iconic artists such as Janet Jackson, Will Smith, Pharrell, Mary J Blige, Sam Smith, and Celine Dion. Despite his diverse portfolio, MK has returned to his roots in dance music, establishing himself as one of the most popular DJs in the house music scene.

Having previously captivated audiences at Riviera Beach Club during an Untitled event in 2018, MK’s return was eagerly awaited. His infectious customized sound kept the crowd dancing throughout the night, ensuring an atmosphere of pure euphoria and excitement.

MOGA Festival unveils first phase lineup for 4th edition in Portugal

by the partae
written by the partae
MOGA Caparica
May 29 – June 2, 20234
Costa da Caparica, Portugal
FB / IG / TW: @mogafestival
MOGA Caparica is proud to announce the Phase 1 lineup for its 2024 edition, marking a groundbreaking transformation in the festival’s history. Set to take place from May 29th to June 2nd, 2024, this year’s event promises to elevate the experience to new heights, transitioning from a series of beach parties to a full-fledged beach festival with a single expansive site and three stages. The carefully curated mix of headliners has been revealed: Acid Pauli, Dekmantel Soundsystem, Dixon, Jan Blomqvist (Live), Luca Saporito (Audiofly), Mr. ID, Pachanga Boys, Satori, Xinobi & Desiree
MOGA Festival was originally created in Essaouira (Morocco) in 2016. After 3 editions in Morocco, MOGA organized its first edition abroad right after the pandemic in 2021 on the beautiful beaches of Costa da Caparica (Portugal) sister land of Essaouira, only 20 min from Lisbon. It is a compact and boutique gathering for real music lovers inspired by Atlantic vibes and aimed at connecting people from all over the world.
In a bold move, MOGA Festival Caparica edition is departing from its previous format of beach parties across multiple venues. Instead, festival-goers can expect an immersive and unified experience as the festival merges two iconic beach clubs in Praia de Morena: Waikiki and Borda d’Agua, into a single festival site. This consolidation aims to create a cohesive environment where attendees can fully immerse themselves in the music, culture, and community of MOGA Festival Caparica with one venue, three stages along with two afterparties, a creator market and additional experiences.
This transition marks a significant milestone in MOGA Caparica’s history, representing the festival’s evolution into a new phase of development. After laying solid foundations during its first three editions, MOGA Festival Caparica is ready to embark on this exciting journey towards a more integrated and expansive festival experience following its edition in Essaouira (Morocco).
The Phase 1 lineup reflects this evolution, featuring an eclectic mix of renowned artists and emerging talents from the electronic music scene. From mesmerizing live performances to captivating DJ sets, MOGA Festival Caparica promises an unforgettable musical journey for all attendees.
Phase 1 lineup IN (May 31 – June 2) :
ACID PAULI – ANDHIM – ATLASSI – BLACK POMADE – DEKMANTEL SOUNDSYSTEM – DESIREE – DIXON – HEIDI LAWDEN – JAN BLOMQVIST (Live) – JUST KELLY – KAWTAR SADIK (live) – KOKESHI – LUCA SAPORITO (AUDIOFLY) – MR. ID – PACHANGA BOYS – PALMS TRAX – PASO DOBLE – PORTABLE (live) – RAFAEL DA CRUZ – RETRO CASSETTA – SAFAR – SASSY J – SATORI – SHADO – SHERI VARI – tINI – XINOBI – YEN SUNG
But that’s just the beginning. Stay tuned as MOGA Festival Caparica continues to unveil the full scope of its immersive musical experience with another phase of artists set to be announced in the coming weeks and its OFF program announcement with free parties and activities all around Costa da Caparica on May 29th and 30th.
Early bird tickets for MOGA Festival Caparica 2024 are now available for purchase. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this groundbreaking event and witness the next chapter in the festival’s evolution.

New Bloom Fest 2024 Kicks Off Next Month & Sideshows Revealed Including Citizen, Movements, Touche Amore, Fleswater & No Pressure

by the partae
written by the partae
The new era of alternative rock and punk arrives in Australia this March with NEW BLOOM FEST, a brand-new touring festival set to launch next month.

Featuring some of the freshest up-and-coming artists in the scene, today NEW BLOOM FEST is also announcing an expansion beyond the festival events, with headline shows locked and loaded from some of the international NEW BLOOM FEST artists throughout March.

NEW BLOOM FEST’s inaugural events are set to be packed full of unforgettable moments, with American rockers CITIZEN, post-hardcore heroes MOVEMENTS, L.A. emotive hard-hitters TOUCHE AMORE and pop punk powerhouse NO PRESSURE all lined up to rattle the collective roofs in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne, alongside alternative rockers FLESHWATER and grunge shoegaze duo SOFTCULT both performing as part of their debut Australian appearances. Also joining the sweltering international line-up will be an army of stellar local acts in each city to showcase the incredible might of the modern alternative scene at home and beyond.

Add in some of the amazing sideshows on offer and it’s set to be a month-long celebration of all things alternative rock and punk this March!

Wielding quiet ballads, distorted rock anthems and everything in between, American rockers CITIZEN are a band impossible to resist and even more difficult to forget. Straddling the realms of post hardcore, shoegaze and pop alongside guitar-driven rock’n’roll, CITIZEN most recently furthered their enduring appeal via their fifth album Calling The Dogs; the band’s first album as a full five piece, and a resounding rebirth overall. From playing as teenagers in local dive bars to selling out theatres and appearing at festivals around the world, CITIZEN are a must-hear and must-see act, back and bigger than ever before.

Orange County rockers MOVEMENTS weave an intimate beauty into their post hardcore-meets-alternative-rock creations, with their latest album RUCKUS! dexterously showcasing their signature tension-and-release style in a whole new way. Off the back of a whirlwind few years at MOVEMENTS HQ, with their 2020 album No Good Left to Give debuting at #3 on the Alternative charts and their streams doubling to over 200 million streams in the U.S alone, MOVEMENTS continue to evolve and excite – and their return down under will offer fans a chance to witness them in a whole new light.

Special guests will be twin sisters Phoenix and Mercedes Arn-Horn, aka SOFTCULT. Spurred by the upheavals of 2020, including the Black Lives Matter movement and the ongoing pandemic, the sisters channelled their frustrations into their new sonic direction, seamlessly mixing grunge, shoegaze, dream pop and punk with a meaningful message. Don’t miss the SOFTCULT live experience next year when the pair head to our shores for their debut Australian performances.

Via their early single Linda Claire, which has gone on to generate over 3 million individual streams on Spotify alone, the scene was set for the 90s and early 2000s rock-inspired group to step beyond the underground. Since then, FLESHWATER have toured alongside No Pressure and Koyo, released their debut album, 2022’s We’re Not Here To Be Loved, and will head to Australia for the first time ever in 2024 as part of NEW BLOOM FEST.

Heineken Balaton Sound is renowned for its stunning location right by Lake Balaton, a perfect holiday spot that allows you to relax and soak up the sun as well as dance the night away. It plays out across plenty of stages that all have their own look and feel and no other event in Europe does things on quite such a scale across the Main Stage with its vast LED wall; the house and techno oriented B my Lake stage and many more intimate stages that all come with high spec audio-visuals, lights and serious sound systems.

“With the newly announced performers, our goal is to offer a wide selection from the electronic music scene that is now clearly visible for the attendees of Heineken Balaton Sound,” started Anna Filutás, the festival’s project manager. As such, the festival will showcase both the mainstream elite of electronic music and the best of underground electronic music, significantly strengthening the lineup with increasingly popular hard techno and hardstyle artists with these newly announced names.

This latest wave of names will welcome Heineken Balaton Sound debutant Amelie Lens who returns after maternity leave and brings her dark techno magic, astral techno from the Ellum Audio boss and world renowned innovator Maceo Plex, while Drumcode label head Adam Beyer has been innovating in the techno world for many years. There is no show quite as special as the live soundtrack served up by Stephan Bodzin, and this year hard techno is having a resurgence and will be fully represented by Sara Landry, Trym and 999999999 on top of the already announced Nico Moreno.
Prepare for an electrifying convergence of cutting-edge musical talent featuring a myriad of genres within the house and techno realms. Leading the charge is the chart-topping vocal house sensation, MEDUZA, promising an unforgettable performance. Reinier Zonneveld will take the stage with his signature blend of hard-edge acid techno, delivering a live experience that pushes the boundaries of innovation.
 
Joining them are the Italian duo Mathame, renowned for their captivating melodic sounds, alongside Danish luminary Kölsch, who will transport listeners with his emotive compositions. FJAAK, the Berlin-based duo, will unleash their jacking club grooves, while techno aficionados can anticipate a special collaboration as Space 92 and POPOF present “Turbulences”. Adding to the immersive experience is Siona label head Miss Monique, who will enchant the crowd with her progressive sounds. Meanwhile, Brazilian Vintage Culture will deliver pulsating, bass-driven house beats, ensuring an electrifying atmosphere throughout the event. Further house and techno excellence will come from Alison Wonderland, Brina Knauss, Borgore and Sam Feldt
 
But the excitement doesn’t end here. The legendary Q-dance will take over the Main Stage, offering a showcase of unparalleled energy and passion. Featuring performances by The Qreator, Sound Rush, Ran-D, Warface, Sefa, and DV8, this takeover promises to be a spectacular finale, leaving attendees with memories to last a lifetime.
The countdown is on until music lockers embark on an endless adventure at Heineken Balaton Sound 2024, where a myriad of experiences await—walkabouts, fashion shows, sports, dance workshops, techno yoga, and more. 
On top of that, several changes await visitors this year: the main entrance will be relocated, and the location of the main stage will change, providing a more comfortable space for the expected large audience. The festival will still include the 1 km long beach section that attracts many foreign visitors and features waterfront locations, beach parties, and comfortable relaxation with water games throughout the festival, day, and night.
“On the relocated main stage, the programs will entertain the audience until dawn, and on the last day, we will top it with a massive end show, presented by the outstanding and recurring Dutch Q-dance, showcasing the harder styles of electronic dance music,” revealed Anna Filutás.
This remarkable open-air celebration is a must-visit for festival enthusiasts, promising an unforgettable experience. There are plenty of camping options on site, or you can book a hotel in Zamárdi or Siofok, making it the ultimate summer holiday destination from 3 – 6 July 2024.

Butik, Lighthouse and Why?Not present: Zanzibar Gathering – Dates: February 15th – 22nd, 2024 Location: Paje and Jambiani, Zanzibar

written by the partae

In the heart of Zanzibar, where the turquoise waters meet the golden sands, an electrifying musical experience is set to unfold – Zanzibar Gathering, powered by Butik, Lighthouse and Why?Not. Nestled on the Southern end of the enchanting island from February 15 to 22, this electronic music adventure promises to be a sensory journey like no other, blending beats, underground culture, and natural beauty in perfect harmony.

The eclectic lineup headlines two of the hottest Berlin wonders: Ogazón and Sedef Adasi, whose versatile sets are sure to ignite the dance floor with their signature blend of acid, spacey techno and house. Joining them are the dynamic Doudou MD and the SlapFunk crew, who are ready to bring their unique infectious grooves of tribal-infused house to the shores of Zanzibar. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg – with more familiar faces from the Lighthouse and Butik festivals adding their magic to the lineup.

Zanzibar, with its pristine beaches and lush landscapes, sets the stage for a visual spectacle that complements the sound experience. As the sun dips below the horizon, the festival grounds come alive with a vibrant energy that goes beyond the ordinary, creating a magical atmosphere that will leave a mark on your memories forever.

This isn’t just a music festival; it’s a journey shared with an intimate group of music aficionados coming from all over the world. Don’t expect the usual festival locations, the whole experience will take place at different spots across the Southern coast of Zanzibar around the cities of Paje and Jambiani.

From wild times at the legendary Why?Not Club and its poolside area, to hangouts at the DarMar’s lush garden, to moonlit parties at the Masai Mara Villa standing on a cliff topping the ocean, culminating in a sandbank party and a catamaran musical cruise, be sure you won’t be short of breathtaking moments.

Don’t think you will get bored during the days off. If you’re not ready to relax after all the parties, set off for adventures to explore the Jozani forest, swim with dolphins or discover Zanzibar’s rich cultural heritage and biodiversity on a spice tour.

The Zanzibar Gathering is set to be an intimate paradise, where the rhythms of the ocean dance in perfect harmony with the beat of music. So, pack your dancing shoes and your sense of adventure, and prepare to reconnect with yourself, nature, and the music that moves you.

Dates: February 15th – 22nd, 2024

Location: Paje and Jambiani, Zanzibar

Indigenous trail-blazer MARLON set to debut new single BLOOD IN THE WATER at Adelaide Fringe performance, February 17th

by the partae
written by the partae

TICKETS

Marlon is taking to the stage to launch his latest track, ‘Blood in the Water’ on the 17th of February.  

Written in protest to many of the injustices that indigenous Australians feel in modern society, and how many who live in privileged positions tend to ignore and avoid these issues. 

“‘Blood in the Water’ is a record written in reflection of the reality in the Australian society when it comes to the mistreatment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. It represents the mentality that we as a country hold, knowing of the injustices that takes place towards people of colour, yet many of us are content to live on in our day to day lives as if these injustices are non-existent.”

MARLON MOTLOP 

Marlon has had an incredible career thus far, spanning across multiple industries. Initially a professional AFL player for Port Adelaide between 2008-2011, Marlon moved onto a music career during his final year in 2011. Since then he has supported the likes of Midnight Oil, A.B.Original, Pete Murray and Xavier Rudd. He has been impressing crowds across the country, playing at WOMADelaide, Bass In The Grass, Party In The Paddock, Dark Mofo, Spin Off Festival and more throughout his career. 

Marlon brings an intimacy filled with charisma and thought provoking lyrics. Marlon’s music has always been an important part of his life, a place he can reflect on his own experiences as well as those that play out around him. Born and bred in Darwin, Northern Territory, Marlon is of Aboriginal Larrakia, and Thursday Island heritage.
