This edition of the esteemed music and travel escape will once again assert itself as a leader in both the region and on the global stage, with a spectacular programme of world renowned stars, legacy acts, and burgeoning local talent.

Born from a shared love of music and community, Nameless Festival began in 2013 in Lecco, a small city on Lake Como. Initially a modest gathering, consisting of a 2-day event with a handful of performers, it soon developed into a global sensation, attracting revellers from around the world.

Today Nameless showcases immense production, unmatched sound and a wealth of genres, with renowned headliners and rising stars in equal measure — but beyond the music, Nameless is about connection, inclusivity, and self-expression. It’s a place where strangers become friends, and creativity knows no bounds. As the festival continues to evolve, it remains a testament to the enduring power of music to unite and inspire.

Opening the festival’s five stages on Friday, June 14, are the likes of lauded French electronic duo Justice, rising star Ahadadream, plus Boys Noize, Alesso, Luca Agnelli, Marlon Hoffstadt, Camo & Krooked, longtime Nameless affiliate Benny Benassi and more.

On Saturday, June 15, you’ll find low-end veterans Chase & Status (DJ) alongside Deadmau5, Claptone, Kenya Grace (live), Kungs, Low Steppa, Riva Starr, Sam Divine, Subtronics and Steve Angello among others.

Closing on a high note on Sunday, June 16, the programme boasts global heavyweights DJ Snake, Hardwell, Roger Sanchez, The Shapeshifters, Sammy Virji and more.

Additionally, Nameless has revealed daily takeovers of the Unforeseen Stage, from Worried About Henry on the Friday who celebrate 10 years at the forefront of bass music, global powerhouse Defected on the Saturday, and iconic disco authority Glitterbox on the Sunday.

Taking place at Italy’s Lake Como, the location is a dreamlike and enchanted place, where the crisp clean air, lush bright gardens, sprawling woods and breathtaking mountain vista pair with the sweeping jewel-like ripple of the lake itself.

Feel the rush of adrenaline as you wakeboard across its pristine waters or sail beneath the towering Alps. Traverse rugged trails on a mountain bike or explore hidden paths through mountain hitchhiking, immersing yourself in breathtaking scenery.

For a more leisurely adventure, embark on a horse riding tour, meandering through picturesque landscapes. Indulge your taste buds in a tour of the local cuisine, sampling exquisite local dishes paired with incomparable views of the water.

With a decade of earned experience to draw from, Nameless prepares to enter a new chapter. From unparalleled sound and production, from connection to musical discovery, from thrills to culinary exploration, Nameless and Lake Como provide an opportunity no discerning traveller nor music lover can afford to miss.

Following its triumphant debut and after being acclaimed as Best New Regional Festival, the stunning Gates of Agartha Festival is set to return to the historic Cave Romane in Pula, Croatia, on June 7th and 8th, 2024. World class music comes from more headliners than ever before with Adriatique, Bedouin, Dixon, Vintage Culture, Seth Troxler, TSHA and Avantgart Tabldot all playing.

Gates of Agartha is a two day odyssey to the historic region of Istria, Croatia which blends the past and the present and offers a glimpse into its rich history and vibrant culture.

It comes from brothers Yaaz and Yalim Acar, the people behind the Echoes From Agartha experience in Cappadocia, Turkey, and local driving force BSH events which specializes in hosting events at unique venues around Croatia and the region. It takes place in Cave Romane, an ancient quarry dating back to Roman times that played a crucial role in the construction of the Pula Arena under Emperor Vespasian’s command.

Carved into 50-metre limestone walls and nestled in the small village of Vinkuran, it stands as a reminder of ancient craftsmanship and the architectural legacy of the Roman Empire. Legend has it that Cave Romane was a sacred place for ancient tribes and mystical beings which resonates with the broader tapestry of myths surrounding Istria’s enchanting reputation as ‘Terra Magica.’

Gates of Agartha lineup

The breathtaking cave will come alive with a bespoke projection mapping show in collaboration with the cutting-edge media collective OUCHHH that will make it an immersive and wondrous place to dance to world class music as 4000 people attend.

Eli Brown and Lilly Palmer Team Up For An Electrifying New Track “Gasoline”

By
Marco Di
-

Gasoline, their 2024 release, is an unadulterated, high-energy Techno composition. This new 2024 song by Eli Brown and Lilly Palmer is being released on Insomniac’s Factory93 label, which is an appropriate landing place given that Brown’s Escape EP was one of the label’s initial releases in 2021.

Eli Brown & Lilly Palmer‘s Gasoline will enthrall you with its blend of voice drop focuses and technological leads, as well as its exceptional risers and turnarounds that effectively create and release energy.

An industrial drum rhythm booms to begin Gasoline, which is then accompanied by a syncopated lead synth loop. A low pass filter is gradually removed from a voice drop that will be present throughout the recording, thereby enhancing its clarity, shortly after the groove and lead have been established.

After the voice drop is introduced, another iteration of the looping syncopated synth lead ensues, this time exhibiting a distinct timbre. Additionally, the bass swells now enhance this second rendition of the techno deliciousness. The voice drop resurfaces near the conclusion of the second round of the Techno lead section, this time obstructed by a low pass filter. Subtly, the filter promptly transitions to the rhythm, obstructing it while the voice drop resurfaces as the primary emphasis.

Eli Brown & Lilly Palmer – Gasoline

The rhythm is then completely nuanced by a bass swell, leaving the solo voice drop in sharp focus. The final words spoken during the voice drop begin to reverberate, then combine with a gratifying drum riser that precedes a four-on-the-floor kick drum drop, which is accompanied by the voice drop returning.

The repeated voice drops are accompanied by the syncopated lead synth once more, which returns with the occurrence of another bass crescendo. An additional bass surge once more overpowers the main synth. Following a final epic percussion riser and a repeated voice drop, the groove descends once more, this time featuring an entirely different lead synth techno melody. Gasoline by Eli Brown and Lilly Palmer concludes with a single final bass surge and one final playthrough of the industrial groove with swells.

The 2024 release of the new Eli Brown & Lilly Palmer track on Insomniac‘s Factory93 label met our expectations for hard-hitting techno. Brown’s previous releases, which included the dance-inducing Tech House track Desire, the smooth-sounding Melodic House and Techno track Immortal, and the somber and cinematic song and video for Trouble, which he collaborated with Talk Show, formed the basis for these expectations.

Brown has discovered an additional deserving collaborator for 2024 in Lilly Palmer, whose track Gasoline satisfies our longing for high-energy techno music.

Mathame

Mathame announced ‘NEO’, the Italian-brother duo’s new performance show which will begin at Amnesia Ibiza on 7 June. ‘NEO’ will continue throughout the summer in a residency of 8 Fridays and will evolve into a series of events around the world from the autumn 2024.

There is still very little information about ‘NEO‘ for the moment and the only statement released by the duo of DJs, producers and electronic artists is that “NEO will be a unique experience of connection, almost spiritual”.

It will certainly be an extraordinary evolution of their AV:SHOW, which has seen sold-out shows on every continent and will have its final episode at Tomorrowland on 19 July.

Mathame NEO

Mathame has for years been counted among the early pioneers of the neo-tech sound and its more technological evolution, constantly searching for an original intersection between music, cinema, artificial intelligence and new media.

The residency will take place on Fridays June 7, 14, 21, 28 / July 05 / September 13, 20, 27 at Amnesia Ibiza‘s legendary Terrace from 23:00 to 6:00 AM.

Mathame recently released a hit single in collaboration with John Summit and have been touring the past months for a sold out tour in the United States and Europe. During the last summer, the italian-brother duo released its debut LP, ‘MEMO‘. A sonic journey that took Mathame to world’s outside our universe and deep within themselves, it explores new frontiers of sound within the duo’s sonic palette.

Egypt and the region’s premiere boutique festival experience, Sandbox Festival, celebrates a decade of unforgettable music on the beautiful Red Sea Riviera in El Gouna from May 16-18th, 2024. This special edition of the music and travel getaway will once again assert itself as a leader in the region with a discerning mix of long-proven performers, legendary pioneers and scene-defining local and emerging artists.

Sandbox and its creators, events and entertainment powerhouse Nacelle, represent Egypt’s leading voice in the world of underground music; a combined force that continues to set trends, break headliners and craft unforgettable experiences in its own backyard.

These efforts have helped give a platform to a rich local scene through its meticulous attention to detail from line-up to production to immersive stage design. It remains the warm, diverse, open and globally representative crowd that makes the event what it is.

Providing the musical backdrop this year will be the likes of dexterous DJ and inter-genre specialists Call Super, dynamic Paris instrumentalist Chloé Caillet, and famously deep digging soul and house man Danilo Plessow aka MCDE.

Headlining talent turns to some of the world’s most celebrated starts like Innervisions label founder and emotive selector Dixon, Detroit’s first lady DJ Holographic, Life And Death founder DJ Tennis, the masterfully eclectic and love-fueled Hunee and techno talents Paul Kalkbrenner, TSHA, Traumer and Paula Tape.

Sandbox’s eclecticism reigns once again with a live show from Japan’s melodic house master Soichi Terada, cult house, breaks and electro star Sweely and much more.

Sandbox 2024 lineup

As a continuation of Sandbox and Nacelle‘s mission to showcase local talent, the festival welcomes regional scene leaders Akladios, Aly B, Aly Goede, Aroussi, Gawdat, Gazbee B2B Talaia, Hermit B2B Joey, Hot Oasis, Husa & Zeyada (Live), Jess, Misty, Nova Retra and more.

The music plays out on several individually designed and bespoke stages, many crafted from within the sand itself. Each area has its own look, feel and soundtrack, but is united by creative use of audio-visual technology and world-class sound system setups that encourage DJs to connect to the crowd. New for this year is an augmented beach stage, and new stage to allow for even more local and regional talent.

Sandbox Festival offers more than just music: it is hosted at El Gouna, a stunning resort town with breathtaking beaches and dramatic sunsets over the Red Sea. There is so much to explore that every day is an adventure of your own making with kite-surfing, desert trips, hikes, diving, boating and a bevy of cultural hotspots to bookend a perfect festival day.

Here’s what Tito El Kachab (Co-Founder of Sandbox Festival / Nacelle) had to say:

“It’s honestly been surprising and humbling that we’ve been able to build such a globally recognized festival right here in Egypt. My favourite aspect of the festival is that we are able to present so many different sounds in one line-up and have a crowd that appreciates it. Sandbox really is about stripping down the essence of it all: music and people.” 

Over the past decade, Sandbox has become a haven for music, travel, and culture enthusiasts, and the ultimate showcase of the boundary pushing creative ethos of its founders and producers Nacelle. The tenth edition will chart the next chapter for one of the world’s most immersive electronic music experiences.
