The scene-leading Sonus Croatia is to take its 2025 festival experience to all new heights, as the first chapter of a new era in partnership with the world’s leading live events experience creator, Insomniac.

Insomniac brings its storied production expertise to the table to continue to elevate Sonus’ offerings, as it returns to the idyllic shores of Pag Island this August 17-21, 2025.

The 12th edition of Sonus will be the most ambitious yet, marking the coming together of heavyweight event producers Time Warp, with its thirty year tenure in genre-defining programming; We Love Sound, with 20 years as foremost electronic music tastemakers in the Balkans; and Insomniac. Best known for its flagship EDC events, and drawing on vast reserves of expertise in producing some of the best festivals on the planet, Insomniac now brings all that know-how to underground institution Sonus.

House and melodic sounds are catered for by the likes of Adriatique and Anetha, the organic depths of Saga duo Bedouin, and the new school beats of Ben Hemsley and Ben Sterling.

Bass-heavy sounds from Fleur Shore and GORDO are featured alongside the floating melodies of Jan Blomqvist live, weighty cuts from Loco Dice, warehouse sounds from Mau P, progressive lushness from Miss Monique, hypnotic rollers from Vintage Culture, and a hybrid DJ set from WhoMadeWho, with many more to be announced.

Sonus Croatia 2025 will also see the return of the eminent Space Miami — a name synonymous with discerning electronic music curation and unrivalled afterhours — and LA’s Factory 93, known for its deferential homage to the spirit of the 90s underground, raw warehouse aesthetic, and the myriad spectrum of techno at its heart.

“In music and nature we trust” has always been the Sonus mantra, but so too has putting the music and sound systems first. Those simple values have earned Sonus a global reputation for quality experiences in the stunning locale of Novajla surrounded by the glistening Adriatic Sea.

It’s a paradisiacal escape, where revelers can soak up the unique views, experience breathtaking sunrises and sunsets each day, and plot their own party adventure on the sand, out at sea, or under the stars. Sonus is produced by ravers for ravers, from the curation of the soundtrack to the superior production — the result is a picturesque blend of music, travel and culture, with a like-minded crowd of warm and welcoming people from the world over.

The stunning beachside open-air venues at the heart of the festival include Aquarius, Papaya, and Kalypso. Noa Beach Club, previously used as a sunrise afterparty venue for one night only, will also now be an integral part of the programme in 2025.

Additionally, Sonus will introduce the Noa Beach Stage for this edition, creating the festival’s first stage environment on the sand in its twelve year history where attendees can swim and dance in the water all week long.

The infamous boat parties are back and in previous years have seen the likes of Archie Hamilton, Ellen Allien, Enzo Siragusa, Clara Cuvé, Paula Temple, and countless more all lay down varied and vital sets. 2025 will also see pop-up parties return in numbers, after Hector Oaks’ 2024 takeover at Tattva. Afterparties remain at the core of Sonus’ identity, and will return following 2024’s momentous Space Miami afters at Noa Beach Club.

Beyond the beats, there is an endless array of fun and adventure to be had at Sonus in and around the local area from authentic Croatian cuisine, to water sports, kayaking, rock climbing, quad bike hire, bungee jumping, wind and kite surfing, all just 10 minutes from the festival with a wide range of accommodation to suit all budgets.

Accommodation packages can be added to bookings following festival ticket tier selection, with options including villas, 5* hotels, hostels, glamping, and apartments. Booking deposits start from as little as €19 per person, with monthly payment installments scheduled up to June 2025. Sonus Croatia festival tickets and accommodation packages are on sale at the official website.

Sonus Croatia is a unique coming together of quality music, relaxation and the stunning beauty of the Adriatic Sea, and for the past two years has been a proud partner of HTZ – the Croatian National Tourist Board.

He’s over a decade into a career that began with hit single ‘Animals’ back in 2013 – the invigorating, dance-floor stomper which soared to the top of the charts worldwide, ultimately altering the status of what would be considered popular music to come.

Continuing his voyage to conquer the mainstream, over the years Garrix has released numerous anthemic dance and pop records alongside a string of memorable collaborations including; ‘In The Name Of Love’ with Bebe Rexha, ‘Scared To Be Lonely’ with Dua Lipa, ‘Ocean’ with Khalid, ‘Summer Days’ with Macklemore and Patrick Stump, and ‘We Are The People’ with Bono and The Edge.

Now Martin Garrix will bring another one of his showstopping performances to London’s Gunnersbury Park, for his biggest UK headline show to date.

West London’s Gunnersbury Park has become established as one of the capital’s favorite outdoor venues and will play host to a series of day shows offering an eclectic mix of music genres in August 2025, including the previously announced PAWSA, Khruangbin and The Libertines.

Certified rave alchemist Patrick Topping returns with the two-part ‘4 For The Floor’ EP on his indomitable Trick imprint. His first EP release since the 2021 smash ‘Planet Session’, the Newcastle mainstay taps into the light and dark shades of his ever-evolving sonic register across parts one and two, respectively.

The anthemic ‘Bonfire‘ opens the first instalment with driving drums and textured synth details as Dark Dhalia‘s sensuous vocals soar above. ‘Vogue‘ feat. Franky is five irresistible minutes of pumping house music with catchy pop vocals.

There’s a hint of contemporary Euro-dance fun to the synths that will get hands in the air as radiant chords dart about and a rugged bassline never quits down low. It’s pure party-starting brilliance.

Patrick Topping
Patrick Topping 4 For The Floor EP

Here’s what Patrick had to say about the release:

“After a few years of singles, it feels good to release an EP again! Four different styles of dance floor tracks, each with a different unreal vocalist. I’m so excited to show this range of sounds, all within one release.

I think it’s a good representation of how I DJ at the moment, going from vocal Tech House to upbeat 80s-influenced synth melodies, to dark melodic tech house to the fastest track I’ve put out yet at 145 BPM, touching on the hard techno I like to dip into.”

The second instalment sees Topping unite with Grammy-winning singer Jinadu on opener ‘The Limit‘, a six-minute dancefloor epic where roughed-up drums and crunching low end set the pace while Jinadu‘s spacey original vocals wash over cosmic swirling synths.

‘The Dance Floor Is Lit‘ heads for full-throttle techno territory, fusing supercharged drums, rowdy synths and intoxicating vocals from Polish-Canadian singer PIOTR to round out Patrick Topping‘s fastest track to date.

Iconic GRAMMY-winning dance duo Deep Dish continue their tantalizing return after ten years with two refreshed remixes of their 2005 hit, ‘Say Hello’. The first, the epic ‘Goes Deep’ remix, releases today, November 29th, via Armada Music, while the second more driving and energetic ‘Goes Peak’ version is due in December.

The ‘Goes Deep’ remix of ‘Say Hello’ perfectly translates the original’s dreamy atmosphere into today’s evolved Afrotech movement, cradling the catchy vocal in a subtle, 3-step kick pattern, laden with flurries of percussion. Nearly 20 years after Deep Dish helped define the sound of 2000s dancefloors, this remix brings that timeless vibe into the modern era.

After dropping another updated remix of their 2004 hit ‘Flashdance’ in October, Deep Dish–made up of Dubfire and Sharam–are coming back like they never left. Known for their boundary-pushing sound, they became icons of progressive house with classics like ‘Dreams’ and ‘The Future of the Future (Stay Gold)’ and were even tapped up to remix major names like Madonna and Dido.
