Day started well with the sun splitting the sky and in a Club Cultural tour to the various stages, where we were amazed by the talent of Peruvian artists across a range of genres. Visiting RESISTANCE stage, on the decks the master Art Attack transformed the stage into a hypnotic blend of melodic techno, progressive textures and dark techno atmospheres, charged IDs and deep cinematic transitions. From the unreleased collaboration by Fran Bonetti, Nita and Moodyverse Music, RÜFÜS DU SOL – “Innerbloom” (Rumpus Edit) to his own mysterious ID [audio set available].

Also, we enjoyed for third time with another powerful moment with Anhedonia at ULTRA Peru, he knows how took the Resistance 2 Stage, blending a pack of hard dance vibes and techno in a way that connected immediately with the crowd.
And our big producer Jungle Jack dished out his melodic and house grooves at UMF Radio Stage, we seeing people dancing in a rhythm of ‘Que Sera‘ and his masterful selection of nearly every flavor of house music to Club Cultural Chorrillos.
