They might be a French band, but The Bongo Hop heartbeats follow pure Afro-Colombian rhythms. So much so that, their second release, Santigarana Vol.2, is overflowing with Afro-Caribbean sounds (next to being one of our favourite albums of the year). After having performed on the Tropical Pressure stage, the ensemble,...
When attending Movimientos Love Carnival’s shows, there’s always more than just the dancy and intoxicating music played by the Movimientos crew and special guest DJs from all over the world.

That’s because Open the Gate Festival is approaching, and on Saturday 8th June...

Quantic’s mixes and remixes somehow transcend the scene. Certain tracks are so familiar, perhaps his name isn’t even attached to the fame; such as his collaboration with Flowering Inferno, or his ‘Time Is The Enemy’.
