On a beautiful summer’s day this year, Ummet Ozcan played a trance set from the Pyramid: a 19th century, 36-metre high earth pyramid in central Netherlands. The imposing obelisk at the pyramid’s mound was the stunning backdrop for the live stream of Ozcan’s emotional melodic trance; a set designed to uplift his global, growing fanbase, playfully named the ‘Ozclan’ in a year of few festivals, and precious moments of togetherness.
Marco Carola has been synonymous with what has become known as business techno for the last decade. He’s one of Ibiza’s biggest draws thanks to his own Music On night, and is just as big in the festival game given that he hosts his own Music On weekender in Amsterdam each May. This year, of course, it was postponed, as was his full Ibiza season, leaving fans desperate for some of that stripped back, rolling minimal techno that is known as the Neapolitan sound.
