Hector mixes 'X: 10 Years of The BPM Festival' compilation

Celebrating a decade at Playa del Carmen

The BPM Festival will be celebrating its 10th anniversary this coming year, with a massive series of artists and special events in commemoration.

In addition to the jaw-dropping line-up and schedule, including Mixmag's Ya'ah Muul party with Carl Cox and Art Department, BPM mainstay and leader of Vatos Locos, Hector, has mixed an exclusive compilation as an homage to a decade of extraordinary music across Mexico's Playa Del Carmen.

'X: 10 Years of The BPM Festival' will include tracks that made their mark on the beaches and in clubs since 2002 from artists like Carl Craig, Dubfire, Seth Troxler, Josh Wink, Jamie Jones, tINI and Hector himself. The 17-track collection also features four pieces completely exclusive to the release.

To thank the Playa Del Carmen community for its continued and gracious support, all profits will be going to local charities in the coastal resort town.

The compilation will be released on CD on January 6 and digitally via Beatport on January 14.
