Festival Friday – The best Boutique Festivals

Boutique Festivals
This #festivalfriday is all about #boutiquefestivals. While roaming around the masses at Glastonbury might be fun, there’s something about the intimacy of small-scale festivals that makes them absolutely unique. Situated in a stunning location and packed with loads of activities aside from the fantastic line ups these one-of-a-kind festivals guarantee an experience that will leave you breathless in 2016.

Electric Elephant

Where to begin? Stunning white beaches, boat parties and the legendary Barbarellas nightclub make the area around Tisno, Croatia the perfect location to combine partying with a destination holiday. As Resident Advisor reported, “the view from Electric Elephant's beach stage—framed as it is by crystal clear seas, dramatic coastlines and uninhabited green islands—could have been taken from a Visit Croatia billboard”.

WECANDANCE

WECANDANCE flaunts with some of the most stylish festivalgoers out there. Each year the creative heads behind WECANDANCE pick a theme that reflects current fashion trends. This year's theme, Space, will not just be reflected in the outfits of visitors but also in the exquisite food menu that is prepared specifically for the occasion by Michelin Guide promoted restaurant The Jane. Combined with a strong lineup filled with cutting-edge artists such as DJ Tennis, Dixon, Young Marco and Maribou State WECANDANCE offers a unique experience for everyone.

Oasis Festival

Oasis is the first electronic music festival of it’s kind in the popular metropolis Marrakech. It’s got stage-side pools, daily yoga and wellness offerings to relax and unwind as well as a huge line-up including some of the hottest names in electronic music such as Derrick May, Helena Hauff, Motor City Drum Ensemble, Objekt and The Black Madonna. This year’s edition will take place in an amazing new venue near the desert – The Source.

INTRODUCING SECRETSUNDAZE STUDIOS

SECRETSUNDAZE STUDIOS is the latest project from secretsundaze founders Giles Smith and James Priestley. Launching in the year of their 15th anniversary, the studio is based in the heart of the Secretsundaze HQ at The Laundry in London Fields. Home to their artistic community, Secretsundaze Studios is the perfect space to create, record and collaborate. The studio has grown organically through the shared vision of founders James and Giles and the duo’s in-house engineers, artists & friends George Levings (Endian, Commix), Tony Nwachukwu (CDR, Attica Blues) and Sam Jones (Soundthread).

Secretsundaze studios provides a comprehensive production, recording and mixdown facility, making it the ideal environment in which to make your music stand out. Studer preamps in the desk, and different valve stages from outboard equipment help give that analog edge to a digital project, using Apogee converters to capture and represent that presence and warmth in the mix. Adding to your creative juices, there is a Fender Rhodes and Akai valve tape machine, plus a selection of synths old and new, with the whole set-up running through stunning Rogers BBC design LS5/8 and Meyer Sound HD1 monitors.

The Laundry building is a multi-use workspace with a restaurant, 24 hour concierge and roof terrace hosting exciting music, arts, fashion and film individuals and organisations. The air-conditioned studio is available with flexible working hours, at affordable rates, across daytime, evening and nighttime sessions, 7 days a week, with a sound engineer available upon request. There are also options for longer-term lets and the studio is available for mixing and mastering sessions engineered by one of the in-house artists. The studio will be regularly hosting guest artists ‘in session' and will also run a selection of music production courses, from beginner to the more advanced, with other classes focused on producing with analog gear and mixing techniques, all taught by experienced producer tutors.

Secretsundaze studios will also be teaming up with CDR for a new project, ‘Out The Box’. Every month, they’ll be inviting budding young producers to an evening session at Secretsundaze HQ to hear their tracks in our professional studio environment and to receive feedback from Tony Nwachukwu and other key members of the CDR community. The team are excited to be able to give future crops of producers the opportunity to escape the confines of a laptop screen and provide insight into the worlds of hardware production and studio conditioning.
