Sound HYPE

But if November 5 simply feels too far away and that pent-up big-fish-little-fish energy is approaching reactor meltdown levels — we have a little musical amuse-bouche for you. An audio appetiser, served piping hot directly to your eardrums from the Spotify beat kitchens.

Within these journeying tracks you’ll find sun-soaked mellow chill, hectic remixes, a pinch of ethnic-trance, cliff-top drops, and scorching Balearic bass born and raved on the Mediterranean party islands. In addition to the world-famous talent, you’ll also find contributions from a couple of local DJing legends, also booked in for the main event, too.
