TRIIP festival was a magical three day getaway in Malta at the start of June with a superb outdoor and open air Main Stage as well as boat, pool, castle and beach parties.
It had a superb line up, great weather and next level production with mesmeric lights, lasers and great organisation throughout.
Here are the five best sets we loved the most.
Solardo
This tech house pair have taken their sound from Manchester to the world. They do it all from deep to jacked up and never let the energy levels drop. They played plenty of classic sounds and really made their mark.
Claptone
This deep hose shaman cast his fine spell once more from behind his legendary bird mask. The grovers were deep, with plenty of soul and many of his own tunes weaved in with some classics. A real spine tingling set.
Nora En Pure
There are few more emotive Das than South Africa’s Nora En Pure, who waves mesmeric melodies that really fill you with special feelings. Her mixing is tight and smooth and the set seamless.
Paco Osuna
Span’s Paco Osuna is one of the biggest draws in Ibiza each summer so it was great he nipped over to Malta to serve up his loopy techno sounds. They are dark and heady and really got the crowd locked in for the duration.
Eats Everything
If you want a big, playful set full of bass from across the spectrum, look no further than East Everything. The Bristol man went big and didn’t disappoint with huge drops and lots of epic vocals. It was a real standout that got massive reactions.

Echoes from Agartha
Cappadocia, Turkey
July 26th – 31st, 2023
Echoes From Agartha is one of the most cultured and unique blends of music, art and travel in the world. It runs from July 26 – 31st 2023 in the breathtaking ancient landscapes of Cappadocia in the heart of Anatolia, Turkey and this year will be headlined by Bedouin, Blond:ish, Dixon, Keinemusik, Echonomist, Guy J, Parallelle, Caleesi & Sarah Kreis, Savage & She, Mercan Dede & Secret Tribe (Live), Murat Uncuoglu and many more.
Echoes From Agartha happens across different venues that are all unique and utterly magical. The Zion which is inspired by the Matrix and located in a narrow canyon with tall rock formations that hug the dance floor, creating a cave-like illusion. The IO, a valley surrounded by ancient caves and fairy chimneys dating back to the 4th century and The Yunak Evleri, a rooftop venue that hosts a special sunset party surrounded by the cave rooms. New for this year is Saruhan Caravansary, Friday show in a historic caravanserai, or roadside inn, from the Seljuks Empire where travellers could rest and recover from the day’s journey. There will also be an extra after party for 1200 people in Karakus, a vast ancient cave after the events in Zion and an extra opening cocktail party in the Argos Hotel.

The soundtrack is a deep, spine tingling mix of classy and quality house and electronic from some of the most revered names in the game such as Saga party founders and Human By Default label heads Bedouin, the melodic mastery of Blond:ish, Innervisions founder Dixon, the ever on form Keinemusik, Greek stylist Echonomist, prog innovator Guy J, the acclaimed Parallelle duo plus more from the likes of Caleesi & Sarah Kreis, Savage & She, Mercan Dede & Secret Tribe (Live), Murat Uncuoglu, Erdi Irmak, Borak, Cihangir Cinar, Eda, Ezgi, Zoe Dona and The Ace Brothers.
Away from the music, Echoes from Agartha has a wealth of local culture, customs and cuisines to explore. You can plot your own adventure with horseback riding, open air museum visits, classy dinner parties, traditional Turkish arts workshops, cave exploration and hot air balloon rides. All this is for only a few lucky people as the capacity remains limited despite huge global demand, all as a way of keeping a special intimate vibe at the festival.
Echoes from Agartha is a dream-like experience, a mix of music, culture and travel and once in a lifetime opportunity to head to this most historic region with a carefully curated soundtrack.
