Diynamic announces its Ibiza residency 2014

H.O.S.H., Adriatique, David August, Kollektiv Turmstrasse, Stimming, NTFO, Thyladomid, Karmon, DJ Phono, Magdalena & special guest: Solomun

Every Tuesday from July 22nd - September 9th

Cova Santa

Ctra. San José km 7

4pm - 12am (outdoor) 12am - 6am (indoor club)

Diynamic announces its Ibiza residency 2014. The new event series goes under the name "Diynamic Outdoor" and will take place at 'Cova Santa', a so far largely unknown stunning venue tucked away in the picturesque landscape in the centre of the island. Every Tuesday from July 22nd to September 9th Diynamic presents a daytime event in the true spirit of Ibiza. Sunshine, good vibes and above all, quality electronic music presented by the very best Diynamic has to offer.

When setting up the plans for Ibiza 2014, the Diynamic crew felt like it was time for something new. It was the right moment to make the next step. The Diynamic family loves Ibiza and that's why they wanted to bring some innovation and diversity to the island: This is what 'Diynamic Outdoor' is all about.

And fortune kept on smiling as an amazing location fell into our hands just at the right time. Cova Santa, a delightful spot a few miles from San Jose, where olive trees grow and nature is at its purest.

If you do understand a few words of Spanish, you might have guessed that "cova" is the Spanish word for cave - and that's for a reason: "Cova Santa" is a venue adjacent to a real cave which was used by pirates in the 15th century. It has a rich history of holy men and cultures seeking refuge within its safe walls. It was one of the islands main tourist attractions in the 1950's. Nowadays its impressive interior houses one of the best wine cellars in the Balearic Islands. It's a stunning venue with its own indoor club, outdoor terrace and natural atmosphere.

Until just recently it has not really been used for parties. There were a few secret events before, some hush-hush afterparties, only DJs and their friends. 2014 is the official debut for "Cova Santa" as a club venue, and Diynamic is glad to be part of it.

'Diynamic Outdoor' is about the pure experience of electronic music. A place for people to enjoy themselves out in the open. The parties will be held on eight Tuesdays from July 22nd through September 9th. They will start in the afternoon, continue until midnight and then - for those who can't get enough - move into the intimate indoor club of Cova Santa.

Everyone at Diynamic is super excited. Enjoying the view of the hills of Ibiza, watching the sunset and dancing in the moonlight together with our friends and family. Party with taste and respect to the environment that surrounds it. Summer may come!

Secret Solstice, Iceland - June 20-22 :: stages announced :: dance in the land of the midnight sun

Secret Solstice, Iceland

June 20th - 22nd

www.secretsolstice.is

Celebrate in the land of the midnight sun

On June 21st, the northern hemisphere will celebrate summer solstice, also known as midsummer, the longest day of the year. Around the world, many tribes and traditions will come together to honor the sun and earth for this annual event.

In Iceland, under the energy giving heat of the 24-hour sun, people will dance. For 72 hours, from June 20th - June 22nd, Reykjavik will be alive with sunlight and music as Secret Solstice invites thousands to celebrate in Iceland for their premier music festival.

Something for all music lovers, there will be the perfect musical mix of artists both native and from around the world. From the weird and wonderful talent of Iceland's own, including Mum, HE, Gluteus Maximus, DJ Spaceship and Airplane, to world renowned live acts including Massive Attack, Schoolboy Q, Banks, Woodkid, to some of electronic music's most in demand talent - Disclosure, Jamie Jones, Carl Craig, Damian Lazarus, Eats Everything, Kerri Chandler, Jackmaster, Rob Da Bank, Boddika, Waze & Odyssey and so many more.

Secret Solstice is the brainchild of festival director, Fred Olafsson, he spoke to The Guardian about holding festivals in extreme locations, Secret Solstice's natural power resources and the 24-hour-sun natural light aspect: "Lighting is one of the key parts to creating any festival experience, but we're not going to be able to rely on it much. The upside is that we'll have one of the most spectacular natural light shows on the planet". Read the interview HERE
