The entire lineup for Caprices Festival’s April 22nd edition has been announced

By News No Comments

The festival will take place over two weekends once again, and as usual, it will encompass the whole spectrum of electronic music.

The first weekend will be held on April 8th and 10th, while the second weekend will be held on April 15th and 17th. There will be something for everyone throughout the three dance zones of Modernity, Signal, and Forest, with significant additions on April 8th including Archie Hamilton, Cassy, Giorgio Maulini, and Guti on the Signal stage (live). Return will host the mayhem at the Forest stage with Digby, Eli Verveine, and Fumiya Tanaka, while Apoteoz and Canadians will take care of the weekend closing celebration at the Forest Stage on April 10th.

Whereas Weekend 1 is undoubtedly a must-see, there are even more highlights to be found on each of the festival’s days. On the opening day of the festival, April 15th, it doesn’t get much larger than a long B2B from Luciano and Ricardo Villalobos in the famed Modernity Glasshouse, with a prelude by Roman. In other news, Sven Vath and Dana Ruh will headline the Signal Stage this year. The Cocoon boss will also play an extended performance, so there’s a good chance his set will be jam-packed with bangers from throughout his sound spectrum. Yoyaku will host the Forest Stage, which will feature sets by team members Charlotte, Janaret b2b Varhat, and Lamache, bringing the day’s enchantment to a close.

The next day, the Modernity stage hosts RPR Soundystem, with Caprices resident James Mc Hale providing the all-important warmup. On April 16th, Alci, Madnax (Live), and SIT (Cristi Cons & Vlad Caia) will close the Forest Stage, with an official closing party the following day including Dune, Jay Fase, and Norman Weber of Luna City Express.

The ultimate list of Minimal House and Rominimal Festivals around the world

By Intaresu's Pick No Comments

The pandemic hurt the world of electronic music and festivals in 2020. However, in 2021, several music festivals reopened their doors to the public, delighting us with their wonderful performances and reviving music in everyone’s hearts.

To thank all the festivals that have kept us alive in the world of minimal house and rominimal music, we have brought together the ultimate compilation of all the festivals that we have all known or visited. We hope that 2022 will be a year of great music and more events, and we will continue to advocate for the covid19 situation to improve so that we may fully enjoy them.

Sunwaves festival

SUNWAVES originated in 2007 as a counter-offer to the offerings of festivals, with no interest in pyrotechnics, crazy lights, smoke machines, or mainstream music. The festival’s goal was to foster a sense of community via electronic music and respect.

SUNWAVES is Romania’s first and largest biennial music event, lasting five days and five nights. It was the first event to establish a standard for sound quality. Because of SUNWAVES, Funktion One has become the ideal sound system for electronic music events throughout Romania.

The second Sunwaves festival experience in Zanzibar will take place on Dongwe Beach from January 27th to January 31st, 2022. You can purchase tickets here.

UNUM Festival

The concept of open-air music festivals has been around for centuries, and integrating music with natural elements is not a new concept. UNUM Festival brings us an experience of open-air events.

The lineup of performers due to perform at the festival is incredible, with performances taking place over three stages over five days and four nights. Aside from the musicians, the festival site will include a leisure center, seminars for visual artists from Albania and the area, acrobatics, yoga, a food court, and other amenities.

The UNUM festival will return on June 1st, 2022. Tickets may be purchased here.

Nostromo Festival

Nostromo broadcasts a technology stream in the depths of uncharted natural surroundings due to his innate attraction to a magnetic unknown.

When juxtaposed with the calm that prevails in the verdant surroundings, the essence of electronic music, a reflection of an intriguing yet frightening and uncertain future, embraces the entirety of its importance. Nostromo thus praises the unbreakable relationship between these two worlds: you and me, us, this wild human need to experience palpable moments of happiness suspended above time.

Blies Festival

Projektgruppe Blies is a national autonomous creative collective made up of producers, DJs, artists, designers, photographers, architects, and scientists. We are interested in experience concepts that are intellectual, beautiful, and cross-disciplinary.

The festival functions as a bridge-builder between various types of electronic music by young and inventive artists, and it promotes cultural interaction and inspiration in the fields of music and art.

The event aims to become an annual intercultural gathering place for the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region. We are not profit-driven in the festival’s preparation and implementation, but rather advocate low-barrier access to electronic music. We are particularly concerned about gender equality in the lineup. The lineup is split 50/50 between men and women.

Electric Castle
