FEATHERED SUN, a great German combo made up of the famous Berliners Chris Schwarzwalder, Raz Ohara, JO.KE and Rico Loop, will offer us a necessarily mystical live event: live performances will be more than ever honored this year in fact so prepare to travel with the carefree Mexican SAINTE VIE. PARRA FOR CUVA come straight from Cologne and melancholic vibes come from the Moscow duo GEJU, who will diffuse his slow house chill sounds throughout the festival. BLOND:ISH now a solo project, will bring joy and spirituality.
Alongside them, two prominent members of the great All Day I Dream family headed up by from Lee Burridge come in the form of the haunting YoKoO and MATTHEW DEKAY, while eminent Californian BEHROUZ will offer surprising but still captivating selections. KERALA DUST is another live combo that is a revelation of the indie/desert house scene.
Multi-faceted in sound, MOGA also celebrates house and disco with the new Parisian muse of the movement, LOUISE CHEN and the ultimate London digger and Gilles Peterson fave, BRADLEY ZERO. Micro house will be proudly represented by two of its most far-sighted representatives, the Romanians PRASLEA and RARESH, the latter member of the trio ARPIAR, who will provide us with an unprecedented B2B of PRASLESH. DJ W! LD will bring back the spirit of Ibiza. Techno will not be forgotten, far from it, as the French oldtimers OXIA and NICOLAS MASSEYEFF will ensure a back-2-back while KONSTANTIN SIBOLD will bring his "deutsche qualität", oscillating between house and techno. ENZO SIGARUSA, the boss of Fuse, will do us the honor of his presence by spilling his house made in UK at So Lounge! Not to mention the living legend KENNY DOPE, an illustrious member of the Masters At Work duo - whom he formed with his compatriot Little Louie Vega in 1991 - and a worthy representative of the New York house scene.
beating the forefront with the local scene
The Moroccan local scene will of course beat the forefront, with acts including DAOX, MR ID, ACHIL, NORITSU, AMINE K and NOMADS. Many B2Bs between Moroccan artists are in the program with DAOX b2b BAS IBELLINI, DRISS SKALI b2b CHAIM, AMINE K b2b SABO.
These final names mean MOGA will once again be a unique experience on October 11th, 12th and 13th in Essaouira.
