Festival took place in Portimão, city in Portugal and when we got there, party had an unusual and authentic vibe. NoSoloÁgua hosted the pre festival party while the real deal kicked off in the stunning coastal town of Portimão.
First major event was Mind shake showcase on shores of the Algarve where we had the chance to hear Paco Osuna, Nicole Moudaber and Technasia.
Paradise also returned to BPM Portugal bringing an incredible lineup on day 1. Jamie Jones, Patrick Topping, Alan Fitzpatrick, Sonja Moonear, Archie Hamilton were there to deliver the perfect summer vibes.
NoSoloÁgua definitely had that perfect daytime vibe, with sun-beds on the beach. Blanco Beach was the other day party venue on offer, and also had equally great events going on.
Day to was hardcore with signature party YA’AH MUUL and acts such as Nicole Moudaber, Dubfire, Apollonia, Hector, Carlo Lio, Guti and more. This epic techno event, alongside MaceoPlex’sEllum showcase was something we partied at!
Our personal highlights of day 3 wereCuttin’ Headz showcase at Blanco Beach with Martinez Brothers and Seth Troxler and of course Detroit Love event with legendary Carl Craig and Stacey Pullen.
