House music · Caribbean & Colombia
The place
is the point.
A cliff-backed beach in Samaná. Volcanic hot springs in the Andes. An island off Cartagena. We find the place first, then build one night of house music around it.
Who we are
We pick the place
before the lineup.
Most events start with a room and work outward. We start with the place, and only then ask what should be playing there. The setting sets the tempo, the hour sets the mood, and the music is chosen to belong to both. Capacity stays small because these places ask for it — you arrive by boat, or up a mountain road, and that is part of the night. We are new, and we would rather say so: the first one is in September, and there will only ever be one first one.

The first
three places.
The places
Chosen one
at a time.
We are not trying to be everywhere. A place earns a date when it does three things: takes some effort to reach, holds a sound system without spoiling what makes it worth reaching, and does something with the light at a particular hour. Almost nowhere does all three.
- Samaná
- Dominican Republic
- Playa Frontón: ninety metres of cliff, clear water, no road in. You arrive by boat.
- Manizales
- Caldas, Colombia
- Hot springs fed by the Nevado del Ruiz, high in the Andes. Steam, mountain, cold air.
- Cartagena
- Colombia
- An island half an hour from the old city. In by boat, out at sunrise.
