It’s Saturday and we’re crossing over from day to night. The set from 8pm—11pm is special because the sun goes to sleep behind the hills during this set, and we need a skilful navigator to help us with this transition.

Behind the decks in Varden we find Andy Martin, Mexican-Jamaican electronic music producer and DJ. He is known for mixing sci-fi techno and dub elements with Latin Caribbean rhythms and native-inspired futuristic themes. Sounds like a fun way to start Saturday night.

“I really loved my set time because it allowed me to transition from a more joyful daytime vibe into a deeper and more introspective mood as night arrived. The night brings a more subtle and intuitive experience. As darkness starts to fall, you can only perceive moving silhouettes on the dance floor, and everything becomes less visual and more about intuition, sound, and feeling.

I was there for the whole festival, and I think it’s really worth staying for the entire experience. It allows you to understand how meaningful the festival is through the delicate curation of every single detail, the dedication of all the volunteers, and the amazing atmosphere created by everyone attending. It really feels like something special.”
