We wanted to be everywhere at once!

The guest artists were simply outstanding. Big names in the electronic scene took to the various stages, delivering energetic and captivating performances. From Mind Against, to Adriatique, by Indira Paganotto and Anfisa Letyago, each set was unique and took us into a musical trance. 

Immersive beats, mesmerizing lights, and unbridled energy!

As night fell, the light shows, and visual effects were spectacular. They added an extra dimension to the music, creating an intoxicating and immersive atmosphere.
