by
UNUM Festival
June 1-6th, 2023
Shëngjin, Albania
FB / IG / TW: @unumfestival
UNUM is not like other festivals. It isn’t a smash and grab, in and out rave. It’s a coming together of like minded people and six days of almost non-stop music in secluded locations. As the grooves ebb and flow, you plot your own journey whether that’s dancing on a beach at sunrise, getting lost amongst the trees on the Pine Stage or exploring the historic local town and all its rich cultures and customs. 
Taking place June 1-6th, today more than 40 names are added to the bill including Hot Since 82, Marco Carola, Janeret, Cap, Cesar Merveille, Doudou MD, Dungeon Meat, Magda, Nick Curly, Pol, Reiss, The Ghost, Youandewan and more, with over 25 local talents, emerging artists and future stars also playing. These additions come on top of the first wave of names including Ricardo Villalobos, Dyed Soundorom, Rhadoo, Raresh, Praslea, Sonja Moonear, Margaret Dygas, tINI and plenty of others. Tickets always sell out for this most cultured of musical gatherings so make sure you are part of the story by getting yours at https://www.unumfestival.com/.
UNUM has become a cult favourite festival because it started small and has grown naturally and organically as word has got out. It’s a truly authentic musical experience with a focus on world class sound and boutique stages that offer dreamy places to dance. There are no sound limits, no time restrictions, just plenty of freedom to explore, enjoy and soak up new sights, sounds and scenes. The famously friendly and in the know crowd is made up of a mix of people from all over the world, with many locals enriching the diverse dance floor. 
It all goes down in the hidden secret paradise of Rana e Hedhun, a quiet corner of Europe in the town of Shëngjin on the picture-perfect Albanian coastline. On the sweeping beach you can enjoy uninterrupted sun and sea with a stunning mountain range in the distance and magical pine forests behind you. As well as the music there is a broad mix of heart-racing water sports, mouthwatering local food and drink offerings and plenty of isolated bays and secluded woodland areas to explore.  
This year Animal Crossing host Friday night on the iconic Pines Stage, Sunrise Romanians take over Saturday night and Slapfunk take care of Monday. These three events are sure to be highlights of the whole experience which also includes headline sets from mainstays such as Marco Carola, Hot Since 82, Ricardo Villalobos and plenty more cutting edge names from the worlds of techno, minimal, electro, house and garage.
Add in plenty of beach parties, organic production across the site and unreal musical memories that you will cherish for a lifetime and UNUM is another irresistible proposition for summer 2023.

Franky Wah Heads To New York For His First Stateside SHÈN Showcase at The Knockdown Center

by
Grey Area is bringing globally renowned progressive house & melodic techno star Franky Wah stateside for his biggest ever label showcase. This unmissable SHÈN special will be an immersive showcase of his singular sounds and takes place in New York at the historic former door factory Knockdown Center on April 28th. A carefully curated line-up of friends and peers is to come and you can register for pre-sale tickets now at https://bit.ly/FrankyKDCJB 
Franky Wah has become one of the most visible breakout artists in the world over the last few years. He’s played epic shows everywhere from Factory Town with Carl Cox to Printworks with Afterlife and has served up plenty of fresh tunes on Eric Prydz’s PRYDA Presents, Anjunadeep, and Sasha’s Last Night On Earth. 
The last year has seen him launch his already widely acclaimed SHÈN Recordings label with a string of superb singles and a standout album, This is SHÈN, featuring almost 30 new tracks, a collaboration with Sasha and everything from breakbeats to progressive to vocal house all making it an impressive body of work. SHÈN is a Chinese term that refers to heaven and the human spirit. Those spine tingling, deeply meaningful vibes are what Franky captures in the music he is now playing and releasing, casting real spells on all who hear it.
Says Franky, “My first ever sold out headline US show was in New York so it felt only right to bring the first SHÈN US showcase back to the city.  I feel such a connection to New York and the people here that have welcomed me and my music so it’s an honour to be able to curate this SHÈN showcase right where my US journey began.”
At this much anticipated showcase, expect to be immersed deep into his unique sound world at the vast and legendary Knockdown Center, a 50,000 square-foot building with a rich industrial history. Since its days manufacturing doors it has undergone a renovation that is equal parts preservationist and state of the art and now it hosts cultural events and exhibitions that respond to its unique architecture and dimensions. For this event you can expect cutting edge light, sounds and audio visual installations to make it an unforgettable one-off party in a truly unique space.
Gray Area’s two previous parties with Franky Wah sold out in advance and this one, the largest ever, will do too – so move quickly to secure your place on the dance floor.

The world renowned, award-winning and hugely influential Hospitality In The Woods is back for another bumper one-day celebration of all things Drum & Bass on Saturday 19th August 2023 at Beckenham Place Park. Every single facet of the sound will be showcased across five fantastically designed stages with headliners including Netsky, High Contrast, A.M.C Calibre, Roni Size, DJ Marky, Camo & Krooked, Goddard, LTJ Bukem, Metrik and many more.

This year for one day only everyone is invited to share in some sun kissed good times for Hospitality’s first ever mid-summer UK Saturday festival that is packed with musical goodness and sure to recapture the special magic of the last unforgettable event in 2021.

Several things have always stood Hospitality apart, namely in that the label has established itself as one of the international powerhouses of Drum & Bass and the fact it holds the biggest and best Drum & Bass festival in the UK, delivering the broadest musical offering of any of its counterparts. It takes place in a beautiful location with rolling green landscapes, a lush lake, giant mansion and ancient woodland that is easily accessible in London. It boasts the best sound levels and tastiest food options of any London festival.

Says the team, “With such amazing memories from Hospitality Weekend In The Woods in 2021, we cannot wait to continue the next chapter of the festival this summer.

by

Acraze, Idris Elba, Eats Everything, Seth Troxler, Danny Tenaglia and more all headline

Epic Pool Parties are always one of the most talked about events of the Miami Music Week and this year the team returns to the glorious oceanside spot Sagamore Hotel with five days of musical fun. It’s a unique place to party with a luxurious pool and towering palms under a baking Miami sun, or stunning sunset as day turns to night. Each event has immersive production, effects and powerful sound systems with plenty of space to lounge about and soak up the vibes and art deco design.
This week’s run starts on March 22nd and goes until the always famous closer on March 26, 2023, during which time over 10,000 people will have their most memorable Miami experience. Playing the series are returning favourites, international DJs and influential brands Defected, DJ Mag, Nick Warren’s The Soundgarden, Glitterbox and a world’s first back to back set between electronic icons Seth Troxler and Danny Tenaglia.
World leading dance music bible DJ Mag kick off the series on Wednesday March 22nd with one of their famously raucous parties featuring a cross section of house and sick talent from ACRAZE, Dombresky, Heidi Lawden, Jaden Thompson, Kasia, LP Giobbi, Mau P, Purple Disco Machine and Shermanology.
Defected bring the best names in house music on the 22nd with two exclusives in Ferreck Dawn b2b Low Steppa and Hannah Wants b2b Sam Divine, plus the one and only Idris Elba, Dutch innovator Prunk and Rimarkable.
Nick Warren’s stylish prog sounds provide a serene experience on Friday 24th with a superb line up featuring the boss himself next to a live show from house master Rodriguez Jr Live, a special back to back set from Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs and Jonas Rathsman, a garage, house and techno cross section from Francesca Lombardo and more from Oceanvs Orientalis, Mai Lawson and Armen Miran.
Saturday’s huge event features the pairing of two legends as Detroit’s Seth Troxler goes back to back with New York kingpin Danny Tenaglia so expect musical fireworks from these two deep diggers and masterful selectors. Also joining will be Victor Calderon, a cult figure from New York who has had a huge influence on the scene thanks to his electric and eclectic DJ sets.
Last but not least, the famously colourful and vibrant house and disco party Glitterbox takes care of Sunday with a super line-up that will soundtrack the always historic closing party. Leading the way is bona fide party starter Eats Everything, then comes Hot Honey Sundays founder and soulful house and disco talent Anna Collecta, Polish house stars Catz ‘N Dogz, Detroit legend and Women on Wax founder DJ Minx plus the life affirming sounds of The Shapeshifters and New York pair Musclecars, whose Colouring Lessons label and party is a mainstay of the scene
