Who’s playing?
Now you may ask - why should I be dropping bands on this event, is the setlist even worth it? That’s not for me to answer and for you to use your discretion. I can, however, tell you that the lineup includes some of the international dance scene’s biggest DJ’s,
2pm - 3pm: ANSWER is a Bangalore based DJ-producer duo opening the show. They’re known for Bollywood influenced EDM music, electronica and techno pulses.
3pm - 5pm: With over 1.2 million monthly listeners on Spotify, Jamback is one of the reasons Dutch groove house is having its moment right now and he’s bringing the funk to Mumbai with a whopping 2 hour set.
5pm - 6.30pm: Mau P arguably is the face of Dutch electronic music. If you somehow haven’t heard of him, you've definitely heard his song Drugs from Amsterdam or his remix of Tame Impala’s The Less I Know The Better which sky-rocketed him to global fame. It's gritty bass driven dance music at its best.
6:30pm - 8pm: Depp house legend Chris Stussy takes on the stage next for a riveting set of some of his hits including Desire, All Night Long and It’s About Us. He’s performed at Coachella, Boiler and on multiple internationally acclaimed stages.
8pm - 10pm: Marco Carola b2b Michael Bibi, a thrilling takeover by Italian and British DJS at the forefront of the electronic music scene. They’ve got funky grooves that will make you feel like you're at a sundowner beach club in Ibiza, the best way to end the night
Some rules to keep in mind
Circoloco are not playing with their rules so be sure that you don’t intentionally or accidentally break them. There’s a strict no smoking policy. Sealed and unsealed cigarette packets, vapes and lighters will be confiscated upon entry. It goes without saying that there is a zero-tolerance policy for illegal substances and let’s just say security is going to be strict. I’d recommend packing light as power banks, cameras, backpacks, food and helmets are other prohibited items on the list.
Stay safe and happy raving!
