Groove Cruise Cabo 2018

Groove Cruise Cabo 2018 finished its historical thirtieth voyage in mid-October. Dubbed a ‘logistical marvel,’ the team at Whet Travel faced a hurricane, which threatened the Norwegian Pearl and her passengers. Facing impending doom, they made the critical decision to avoid Cabo and certain death. Choosing life and happiness, the ocean liner steered her way to Ensenada, a picturesque destination in the Baja California peninsula of Mexico. Duke Dumont treated the GCFam to an impromptu rave at Papas & Beer, which sent them into a frenzy.

Despite the trials and tribulations, many aboard said Groove Cruise Cabo 2018 was their favorite experience on the ocean. The unexpected change in location turned out to be a blessing in disguise. The non-profit Whet Foundation seized the opportunity to provide the community’s children with necessary school supplies. The team of volunteers, the Whet Foundation, and Kid Wiseman created a street art project.

The unofficial captain of the cruise, Green Velvet, gave two memorable performances. His first was an immersive set by the pool. His second was a closing set of classics. Green Velvet also wore several costumes as he partied with attendees at the eight parties. Guests were treated to Spain’s tech-house legendary duo of Chus & Ceballos as well.

Additional opportunities to hang out with artists included a Kung Fu class with the one and only Laidback Luke, a ping-pong tournament with Shiba San, and much more. Other Groove Cruise highlights included sets from fan favorites like Benny Benassi, MK, Cosmic Gate, and Felix Cartal.

You can see some of the fun people had by checking out the gallery page.

Groove Cruise Miami 2019

Next up for the Whet Travel team is Groove Cruise Miami 2019, which will take place January 10th-14th. The event will mark the 15th anniversary of Groove Cruise and will feature performances from Kaskade, Aly & Fila, Hot Since 82, Markus Schulz, MK, Simon Patterson, and many more stars of the electronic music world.

Wees Michael Mustapha Evidence

Wees Michael Mustapha Evidence featuring Lokka Vox is our progressive house track of the month for June 2018 released on Chroma Records.

American-Lebanese house music DJ producer Wissam Majed, also known as WEES, contracted Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), commonly known as ‘Lou Gehrig’s Disease’ in early 2014. Wees partnered with DJ Michael Mustapha in 2015, and they produced a track for ALS awareness. That track was ‘Lifeline.’ They released it on John Dahlbeck’s private label, Mutants Records. All proceeds from ‘Lifeline’ go to Hope For ALS.

ALS is a devastating disease that can affect anyone literally. Your body falls apart, and your mind remains sharp. There are no approved effective treatments. We need to put an end to this cruel disease, and hopenowforals.org will lead the way. What keeps me going is the love of my family, friends and dance music.

– Wissam Majed

‘Evidence’ is the follow-up single to ‘Lifeline’ by Wees and Michael Mustapha. Lokka Vox’s sultry vocals tell the story of love’s betrayal. The uplifting melody counters this sad, but too familiar tale. In the end, this song is about emotional suffering and emerging a stronger person.

Anki Delport, also known as Lokka Vox, is a singer, songwriter, and performer from Pretoria, South Africa, but living in New Orleans, Louisiana. She has collaborated with the likes of Borgeous, Ashley Wallbridge, Antillas, Jourdan Bordes, Blood Groove & Kikis, Mintz, Artisan, Dankann, Hazem Beltagui, Newik, Fabio XB, Jaco & Ease, Yves De La Croix, The C.D.S, Almond, Harmonix, Tomac, Rake, Nick Winth, Bassfinder, Rubix, Karim Haas, Paul Sawyer, Kenneth Thomas, Aeonlights, Aerro, John Evans, Craiv, Blue Warrior, I.Y.F.F.E, MKJ & Otter Berry, Straight Up, Alex Leavon, and Disco’s Over.

Ibiza Trance 2018

Ibiza Trance 2018 at Privilege’s Vista Club. The latest trance music night in Ibiza is Shine. It runs on Monday nights from July 9 to September 17. Since Cream announced the end of its trance nights, this is excellent news for trance fanatics.

Shine on Monday is the brainchild of Paul van Dyk’s Vandit and former Cream promoter, Nick Ferguson. Even though trance has waned in recent years, there is still a following on the White Isle. Nick said of trance,

Trance has deep roots on the island of Ibiza.

Trance has had its spiritual home in Ibiza since the 1990s. Shine plans to bring back what they call the human spirit, an all-encompassing inclusive experience for not just the club goers, but for the artists, talent, and staff.

Paul van Dyk described the concept behind Shine.

what SHINE offers, is a world of opportunities – a hub to an international community.

Shine will provide trance music lovers with an altered state of mind experience. The visual and auditory production design is full of magic and positive energy.

Vista is the club within the world’s super club that is Privilege. For over five years, Privilege earned a reputation for its mind-blowing atmosphere and sheer size. Dance within the twenty-five-meter-high glass pyramid ceiling under the stars and at dawn, under the sun. Sunrise sets are life-altering with the music blending with the panorama view across La Isla Blanca that stretches to Dalt Vila. This clubbing experience is a rite of passage for electronic music fans.

Pryda Elements EP
May 24, 2018 by PrimeEV
Eric Prydz, progressive house, Pryda

Pryda Elements EP

Pryda Elements EP is the latest release from Swedish progressive house music DJ Producer Eric Prydz. This EP is hotly anticipated and long overdue. Considered a true master of progressive house music, he is believed to be one of the most talented producers of his time. Instead of choosing one single for our progressive house music track of the month for May 2018, we chose this EP in its entirety.

Elements provide his fans with four songs true to his sound. They run the spectrum of sounds from beautiful bright synths to deep dark bass. It’s a perfect mixture of industrial and grimy with progressive and soulful. Each track builds toward Olympian heights at lengths no shorter than six minutes. This EP is magnificent and precisely what differentiates Pryda from the rest of the world.

The four tracks are:

1. ‘Elements,’ at 8:08 is a trek into progressive house.
2. ‘Obsessive Progressive,’ at 8:34 is a melancholy mood of brooding synths.
3. ‘The HoaX,’ at 7:27 is a techno track of epic proportions.
4. ‘Project L.O.V.E,’ is the shortest track at 6:13 and has a limitless sound and leaves you on a higher note.

You can listen to ‘Elements’ below directly from Eric Prydz’s Soundcloud page. If you haven’t already done so, follow that page.

You can sample the other three tracks at Beatport.

Will Crockford Chasing Cities

Will Crockford Chasing Cities with Rosie Darling released on May 11, 2018, on Chroma Records is our EDM track of the month for May 2018. Rosie provides her sultry vocals on this offering.

Her voice is delicate but confident, and it fits the theme of this song perfectly.

The inspiration for this song came from Rosie’s difficulties of living in a big city, separated from her love. She spent the Summer of 2017 living in Nashville, Tennessee. Will wanted to create a melody appropriately emotional enough to convey that message.

One interesting tidbit is that they created this track in pieces. Will and Rosie were never together. She sent him an acapella of the first verse. Will wrote the instrumental around the acapella verse. Rosie took Will’s version and re-recorded a full release in acapella with harmonies and adlibs.

Will took the pieces provided by Rosie and assembled them into the final version. Will painstakingly worked to bring the vocals into the sound he wanted. Though it was Rosie’s song, she allowed Will carte blanche to be creative.

Will said of working with Rosie,

She’s such a talented artist, and her voice is so unique that when it came time to put it together, it all flowed very easily.
