It is set to be an immersive party that blends the past and the present in Cave Romane, a historic Roman quarry that will also feature Marco Carola, Damian Lazarus, Dennis Cruz, Chris Stussy, Echonomist, Pablo Panda, The Ace Brothers and more.
The festival has also revealed a bespoke projection mapping show in collaboration with cutting edge media collective OUCHHH, with a visual fusion of history and innovation set to illuminate the towering walls of Cave Romane.
Gates of Agartha comes from the same minds behind the wondrous Echoes from Agartha experience in Cappadocia, Turkey. It is the first of their new destination series events which explore mystical and mythical places around the world where art, culture and history collide.
Joseph Capriati is a bona fide techno tastemaker who has been a resident on the legendary BBC 1 Radio and always shows the breadth and depth of his sound across his sets and productions. He plays a wide range of house, techno, groovy, personal influences and much more having made a big impact in Ibiza at Amnesia with his carefully curated Metamorfosi parties. They were immersive showcases of his skills named after his wide-ranging debut album Metamorfosi on his own Redimension label.
This all goes down in a spectacular location – Cave Romane is a roman quarry that was used for centuries by the Romans to extract a type of stone called Istrian limestone. It was a vital material in the construction of many important buildings in the Roman Empire, including the Colosseum in Rome and features immersive and cutting edge lighting technology as well as world class sounds systems.
As well as the music, the historic city offers a wealth of local culture to explore from ancient architecture to modern marketplaces, local cuisines and so much more.
This is a magical escape to an ancient world but with a contemporary soundtrack from the very sharp end of the melodic house and techno spectrum. Tickets available here.

Nora En Pure
There are few more emotive Das than South Africa’s Nora En Pure, who waves mesmeric melodies that really fill you with special feelings. Her mixing is tight and smooth and the set seamless.

Techno legend Reinier Zonneveld will release his newest full – length artist album this year, with new single ‘Music Is The Answer’ — to be released on June 9 on Filth On Acid — the first taste of the top – selling techno royalty’s hotly – anticipated album.
The fourth in a constant stream of genre defining full length releases, Reinier Zonneveld looks to once again hit new heights and push the boundaries of his ever evolving sound with his latest productions. Having been a mainstay in Reinier’s live sets for two years now, ‘Music is the Answer’ has rattled the walls at Reinier Zonneveld’s sold out show at the Ziggo Dome, as well as at Awakenings, Tomorrowland, Amnesia Ibiza, EDC Las Vegas, BAUM Colombia, Timewarp, and elrow, to name a few.
‘Music Is The Answer’ is a thunderous slice of vocal techno channeling timeless ‘90s – leaning sounds but with a fresh new perspective. Throbbing off – beat bass underpins the thumping drums, while distorted acid grunts contrast sharply with the sweet vocal delivery. A slow – building breakdown channels classic trance as the vocal teases towards the chorus, exploding in thumping but understated fashion. Haunting pads float above the 303s, with a sparse arrangement allowing the vocal to really shine.
Fans will be delighted to hear news of the new album — Reinier Zonneveld’s first since 2019. Reinier Zonneveld comments:
“In this new album, I feel like there’s more consistency to the music – it’s all techno, but I’m exploring techno in a broader sense. There is diversity to the tracks, but they are all within the techno spectrum. I’d say this album is my biggest development as an artist, as the selection of music feels really cohesive.”
The album was designed to be suitable for home or club play, with a lot of attention to detail to ensure that it fits in any environment. It’s all high – impact stuff but “there’s enough musical content to keep you entertained when you listen at home. It’s like a blend of melodic music but then in a very high energetic form. So it’s really techno, but still with a lot of energy. I think the themes, production and the sound design are a big step up from my previous work and I am really happy with how my exploration of conveying emotional communication through the means of dancefloor – suitable techno worked out.”
From composing his first classical musical piece at a young age to building a cult following for his intricate live performances, Reinier Zonneveld is one of the most exalted talents in today’s techno scene. He is widely praised for his outstanding technical ability with samplers and analog synths, conducting technical live sets. 2023 is due to be a landmark year for Reinier Zonneveld, on top of the new album this summer, he has an eventful festival season ahead playing at the world’s most prestigious stages, such as Tomorrowland, Awakenings, and Parookaville, in addition to throwing the first edition of his own festival, Karren Maar in the Netherlands on August 5, where he will be attempting to break a world record for the longest live electronic music performance.
