Alok

In 2023, Alok crafted a memorable show for UNTOLD‘s opening ceremony. Reflecting on his experiences, Alok shared:

“Honestly, I have so many good memories from here. This time I brought my wife, my twin brother, my sister-in-law, my sister, because I really wanted them to come here and enjoy it with me. When we were having the pandemic and the quarantine, here was my first gig after 2 years of break. I came here for the first time in 2021 and it was unbelievable, it was amazing, and I had something very special and some deep connection here.

And since then, every time I come here is getting better and better. I am getting more connected with the crowd here. I said this last year – It’s impossible to come here and leave as the same person. And it is true. The crazy thing about it is that even though I am here for the third time, every time I am here is a different experience.

It’s crazy because if you think about it, we are in the same place, same dates, but this is the last chance that we have to be here with the same people. You know when you have not only the DJs and the beautiful stage, but you also have a super cool crowd, and it makes it the perfect combination.

Honestly, the DJs are the last attraction of the festival, this is like the last thing. The biggest for sure is the crowd and the second will be the whole esthetics and experience that you have around here.”

Steve Aoki

The world-renowned DJ and producer expressed his deep affection for the festival, stating:

“I love this festival so much, I really do. UNTOLD is… if I don’t play UNTOLD, if I go through summer and I don’t play UNTOLD, my heart will break! UNTOLD is the mama bear, it’s the one that makes the world turn, it’s the one the world’s watching.”

He highlighted the incredible energy of the Romanian fans, saying, “The first thing that comes in mind is the fans, Romanian fans always bring so much more energy, more passion and they always tap the bar, they are always with you for your whole set.”

Salvatore Ganacci

Ganacci’s love for the festival was evident in his enthusiastic feedback:

“I’m feeling good, I love it here! How would you rate the crowd from a scale of 1 to 10? You cannot rate this, this is unrateable, they are showing so much love to me that I feel that they are like my mother. Thank you for having me, you know I love Romania and I hope to come back soon!”

Tujamo

Having performed at every edition of UNTOLD, Tujamo remains awed by the festival’s growth and energy:

“I’m speechless! From 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023… every time… how can it be better and better every time? I don’t get it, I don’t even understand it, like what’s gonna happen next year?

It’s crazy! I love it, I have no words left! How would you describe UNTOLD in one word only? Beautiful! Come over! I think watching UNTOLD home is cool, it’s good, but the vibe here… you have to feel it, you have to feel the vibe, so come here, let’s party!”

Martin Garrix

Martin Garrix

The STMPD RCRDS label head and one of the world’s biggest EDM stars, eager for his return, said:

“I love being here, I love the energy, I love the crowd, I have so many beautiful memories from performing here and I can’t wait to be back on stage! I think the Romanian crowd is beautiful, they have so much energy, they love to party, I like to party so it’s amazing we get to do it together at this crazy venue!”

Lost Frequencies

Felix De Laet better known by his stage name Lost Frequencies, who had the honor of closing the festival in 2022, is set to return in 2024. Reflecting on his past experience, he shared:

“I love the crew here, they really make you feel at home, they really make you enjoy the moment. Last year I was here for the whole festival, and I really had one of the most amazing times, and of course, the crowd and the people here always come for a good moment and it’s always an amazing vibe overall the whole festival.

There is a vibe of a kind at this festival, they try to create a completely out-of-the-world atmosphere. And I think UNTOLD especially has a lot of different stages and it’s really the opportunity to go and try to listen to something different and with this mindset and with this vibe here, it’s really the opportunity to go out there and just vibe, meet new people, try new food and listen to new music.”

This September Oasis Festival returns to the city where it all started, taking over luxury music resort The Source in Marrakech from September 6 – 8 2024. Now, the pioneering Moroccan festival unveils the first wave of acts lined up for the ultimate North African escape, including Laurent Garnier, Jungle, Amine K, HAAi, Jyoty, and TSHA.

For almost a decade now Oasis has been the ultimate destination festival, authentically shining a light on Morocco and inviting global festivalgoers to dance somewhere different. After two years on the road with ‘Oasis: Into the Wild‘, introducing adventurous music fans to explore lesser known regions of the country, Oasis is now returning to one of the festival’s best-loved locations, with yet another world-class lineup of artists.

Wonderfully indulgent resort The Source, with its lush gardens, winding walkways, and azure pools, is nestled in a two-acre site just moments from Marrakech Airport and close to the city’s bustling medina. The stunning sanctuary, with its unrivalled views of the nearby Atlas Mountains, provides the perfect backdrop for Morocco’s premier electronic music festival.

Oasis Festival
Oasis Festival 2024 lineup

The soundtrack is just as special as the setting, with techno icon Laurent Garnier making his debut with a much-anticipated three-hour set. The Frenchman has been at the forefront of the underground for decades, always evolving his famously epic and emotional sound with each new album, not least his latest and great work, ‘33 Tours Et Puis S’en Vont‘, which is packed with incredible musicianship. Having recently announced he will be stepping away from touring at the end of this year, this is a unique chance to see him perform in a unique and intimate location.

Jungle also lead the charge with an exclusive DJ set. One of the most respected global dance music acts of the past decade, the innovative British outfit has won over audiences worldwide with their eclectic mix of dance sounds, neo-soul, funk, nu-disco and plenty more across four studio albums, one of which was shortlisted for the Mercury Prize.

Alongside their captivating live performances, Jungle have built a reputation as exemplary DJs and impeccable curators, and this special set at Oasis Festival will allow them to share wide-ranging electronic influences and club sounds.

Also lining up this year will be Moroccan scene mainstay and Moroko Loko label head, Amine K who has played at every Oasis since the beginning, Manchester’s electric genre-spanning star Anz makes a debut, and HAAi will return for a second time with more of her psyched-out and textural techno.

Rinse FM host and renowned tastemaker Jyoty, who has become an integral part of the Oasis family since her first performance in 2022, makes a welcome return with her genre-blurring sets and colourful sound, and DJ and activist Nooriyah will join the dots between global music cultures. Contemporary Ninja Tune selector TSHA also makes her Oasis debut, and China’s Yu SU mixes up fourth-world ambience and left-field dance.

Oasis has always aimed to uplift local artists with its line-ups, providing a platform for many fantastic talents. This year that commitment goes up a level with an all-new stage designed by revered Moroccan artist Hassan Hajjaj and dedicated solely to Moroccan acts from the ever more fertile national scene.

Convergence label founder KOSH, another Oasis regular who now plays many of the world’s most cult clubs and will showcase his precise take on electro with an impressive live show. Casablanca’s ANÏA, brings trance, acid, breaks, dub and techno that transcend space and time, Capra mixes up several genres with versatility, creativity and a darker edge, and Hi Jane will be on hand for an out-of-this-world electro trip.

All this, plus plenty more from Moon.Wav, a groove maestro who mixes up disco, funk and house with plenty of energy, Sodfa – the trio of Candle, Qaboo Qaboo, and Kiki – who use mesmerizing melodies to tell their immersive stories, as evidenced by deeply personal EPs for labels like Cafe De Anatolia, and Sound Sisters, the first women+ DJ collective in the country, who are known for revolutionizing the Moroccan scene and providing a safe space for all women+ to collaborate, experiment and showcase their skills while celebrating diversity and inclusivity.

Last but not least, the talented YAYA brings storytelling sounds from electro to spaced-out house and hip hop, all served up with plenty of passion.

With sun-kissed days and starlit nights soundtracked by world-class electronic music talent, Oasis Festival‘s Marrakech homecoming is shaping up to be this summer’s most essential festival experience.

After a world-conquering 2023, UK electronic duo Gorgon City continue to build the buzz around their fifth studio album Reverie with the new single “One New Change”.

With Reverie’s hotly anticipated release fast approaching on July 19, “One New Change” is another up-tempo stormer from the dance duo, arriving just in time for summer with a crisp house groove, exquisite vocal samples, and a swell of bassy synths.

Following the release of lead single “Biggest Regret” (with Bbyafricka), the club-ready “You Know It,” and the anthemic “All That You Need,” “One New Change” is another sign of things to come from Gorgon City’s upcoming summer LP, full of bouncing toplines and filthy basslines that worm themselves into the brain.

Reverie is the follow-up to the acclaimed 2023 LP Salvation, which was packed with hit singles including “Voodoo” and “Pose,” in a year which involved another dominant global live schedule, with highlights including the first headline artist at London’s now iconic Drumsheds, Red Rocks Amphitheatre, a sold-out Brooklyn Mirage, continued Ibiza residency and festival slots at Tomorrowland, Creamfields, Lollapalooza + more.

The release of Reverie can hardly come quickly enough for fans of Gorgon City as 2024 proves to be another momentous year for the UK dance titans.
