Joseph Capriati has gone to all new levels in recent times. The Italian talent had a spell as a resident on the legendary BBC1 Radio at the end of 2022 and proved the breadth and depth of his sound across several shows which explored a wide range of house, techno, electronic personal influences and much more. He then took his Metamorfosi party to London for an epic debut Here at Outernet and of course last summer made his mark on the White Isle with immersive showcases of his skills, as well as appearances playing for Circoloco, Paradise and Solid Grooves.

 

His unique parties now return to Ibiza in summer 2023 with real attention to detail on cutting edge technology, light and sound that immerses you into an all new and carefully curated world. His own DJ sets will be the start of each night with special guests all handpicked by the man himself, and the world renowned Amnesia is the perfect place for him to offer this most epic run of shows. 

 

For the first three weeks of the residency, the Club Room will be hosted by Spanish talent Indira Paganotto who has released her epic sounds on the likes of Charlotte de Witte’s KNTXT label and has made herself one of the hottest properties in the scene. 

 

After the opening party on July 21st, July 28th on the Terrace is Vintage Culture, Ben Sterling and Mason Maynard , with the Club Room hosting Indira plus Charlotte de Witte,  Agents of Time and Flavio Folco b2b Gianni Callipari. August 4th is when Paul Kalkbrenner plays Live with Carlita, Jaden Thompson and Murphy’s Law, and the Club Room sees Indira joined by Dax J, Markantonio b2b Luigi Madonna and Richey V & Simone Zino.

Festival in Ancient Roman Quarry Gates of Agartha Reveals Addition of Joseph Capriati and more, plus Bespoke Projection Mapping Collaboration with OUCHHH

Gates of Agartha
Cave Romane, Pula, Croatia
June 23 – 24th, 2023

 

 

Gates of Agartha – a two day odyssey to the city of Pula, Croatia – today adds Joseph Capriati, Aldo Morro, Lea Kdoch, Marcel b2b Marin Biocic, Mene (who’ll play b2b w/ Pablo Panda) and Zoe Dona to the line-up for the first event from June 23rd – 24th. 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.

Best Pics from TRIIP Fest

World renowned Australian DJ Fisher has just curated his first festival of the year in Europe. 

TRIIP festival was a magical three day getaway in Malta at the start of June with a superb outdoor and open air Main Stage as well as boat, pool, castle and beach parties.

It had a superb line up, great weather and next level production with mesmeric lights, lasers and great organisation throughout.

Here are the five best sets we loved the most.

356 Group

Solardo

This tech house pair have taken their sound from Manchester to the world. They do it all from deep to jacked up and never let the energy levels drop. They played plenty of classic sounds and really made their mark.

Claptone

This deep hose shaman cast his fine spell once more from behind his legendary bird mask. The grovers were deep, with plenty of soul and many of his own tunes weaved in with some classics. A real spine tingling set.

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.

Paco Osuna

Span’s Paco Osuna is one of the biggest draws in Ibiza each summer so it was great he nipped over to Malta to serve up his loopy techno sounds. They are dark and heady and really got the crowd locked in for the duration.

Eats Everything

If you want a big, playful set full of bass from across the spectrum, look no further than East Everything. The Bristol man went big and didn’t disappoint with huge drops and lots of epic vocals. It was a real standout that got massive reactions.

Afterparty Carry On At Cova Santa Announced Following Epic Pyramid Opening At Amnesia This Sunday

This weekend, Ibiza’s most adventurous and underground house and techno party finally kicks off: the Pyramid Opening Party at Amnesia starts Sunday June 11th at 11pm and is an unmissable marathon across the world famous Main Room which will be soundtracked by Andres Campo, Deborah De Luca, Kobosil and Luca Donzelli, and the iconic Terraza with sets from Ricardo Villalobos b2b Raresh b2b Franco Cinelli, Nima Gorji and Cuartero.

As if that wasn’t enough fun for one night, there will also be a special carry-on at Cova Santa on Monday 12th, the more intimate venue up in the hills of Ibiza with its own Outdoor and Indoor club. It’s a classy spot with high spec production that will welcome revellers from 6 pm. The line-up is a secret but chances are those who played the Pyramid Opening Party might make it up for more.

Amnesia’s famously forward thinking and immersive Pyramid party has pulled out all of the stops for this season. The weekly line-ups are the most diverse to date, with a tasteful mix of international stars, renowned live acts and plenty of irresistible pioneers all playing from the very cutting edge of house, techno, minimal and electro. Kerri Chandler, Honey Dijon, Ben UFO, Dax J, Nina Kraviz, Marco Farone, Maceo Plex, Stella Bossi and a live set from Reinier Zonneveld are all playing in June alone, with Caribou, Bonobo (DJ Set), Raresh, a Solo Techno takeover with Charlotte De Witte, KiNK live, Richie Hawtin and Sama’ Abdulhadi plus much more in the rest of the season.

Add in the fact that Pyramid’s production is out of this world, and the iconic dance floor is the most famous place to experience electronic music, and you have a mouthwatering season ahead.
