2012 saw Pacha stretch it's legs to mainland Europe and Amsterdam in particular as they embarked upon an exciting project. The Pacha Festival was a great addition to the already bustling Europen festival scene, with the setting of Amsterdam's skyline as a backdrop, the popular Ibiza hippie market, and a great selection of DJs and live acts ensuring the brand left a lasting mark on the city and the people.
Pacha Festival returns for a second installment on Saturday 18th May with the location being the same - Java Eiland. The team have promised a 'carefully selected lineup, state of the art production, great decoration and true Pacha enetertainment pon stage.' No doubt this will be an epic experience. Many of the artists booked for the festival are promised to appear over the season at Pacha Ibiza also. Let's go through the highlights. The full lineup is below.
Pacha Open Air Stage.
Kevin Saunderson and Inner City have rejoined forces for the Pacha Festival after inadvertently producing a monster hit back in the day titled 'Big Fun', whilst Sander Kleinenberg will no doubt be playing one of his imfamous VDJ sets, joined by Riva Starr and the man Roger Sanchez with some soulful house.
Pacha Techno Stage.
The BPM increases over at the techno stage, as you would imagine, with 'first lady of techno' Monika Kruse joined by some of Cadenza's finest - Reboot and Technasia. Bedrock bossman John Digweed heads up the lineup for this stage, but Gregor Thresher is very much worthy of your full attention on the day.
Pacha Deep Stage.
Deep House continues to dominate the modern dance music scene and this stage is full of talent. Dennis Ferrer, Tensnake, Dyed Soundorom, Deetron, Nick Curly, 2000 and One. Not strictly deep house, but what a lineup!
The Orginal Flower Power Boat.
On the back of announcing that their hippie party 'Flower Power' will shift from 4 parties a season to every Tuesday, Pacha will bring the peace, love and unity vibes on board the good ship 'Original Flower Power Boat' with all the decorative and entertaining trimmings you'd expect. Perhaps not a particularly catchy name, but there is no denying that DJ Piti will curate a fine selection of tracks for everyone to reminisce over.
