Taking place from February 13 to 16 at El Rio hostel in Santa Marta, the riverside party will see a range of genre-spanning DJs, both local and international, play across its four stages.
Hailing from Berlin, Sugar Free will bring the sounds of Italo, hi-NRG, electro and house, while Nicolas Lutz and Ivan Smagghe will provide a more minimal electro and techno approach.
