Oasis Festival Morocco 2018
Oasis Festival Morocco 2018 occurs this September 14 to 16. On the outskirts of Marrakech surrounded by the stunning Atlas Mountains, experience the best the underground has to offer. Phase Three lineup includes heavyweights Ben Klock, Damian Lazarus, and Stephan Bodzin (Live) joining the ranks for Oasis’ fourth edition. Adding to an already impressive list of the ‘Who’s Who’ of house and techno including Carl Cox, Avalon Emerson, DJ Koze, Honey Dijon, Jessy Lanza, Mount Kimbie, Peggy Gou, and The Black Madonna, Oasis Festival is set to be a stand-out on the destination music festival calendar this summer.
Chief amongst these latest names is Ben Klock, the techno heavyweight with ties to the world-famous Berghain, Ostgut Ton imprint, and his own influential Klockworks label. Also announced is desert house shaman Damian Lazarus who runs the Crosstown Rebels empire, Bestival founder and encyclopedia of all musical forms, Rob Da Bank, and fans can look forward to a unique live set from longtime techno favorite Stephan Bodzin. An additional live set will also come from George Fitzgerald, whose excellent latest album ‘All That Must Be’ features collaborations with Bonobo and Lil Silva.
Next to these big names are innovative young stars like DJ Boring who will go back to back with Austrian talent Demuja, and Rhythm Section and Eglo’s deep house, broken beat specialist Henry Wu back-to-back with Moroccan funk, house and jazz connoisseur Polyswitch.
Germany’s razor-sharp lo-fi house producer DJ Slyngshot also lines up with others like Bali-based Dea Barandana who is frequently championed by Gilles Peterson. Add in JDH & Dave P who hail from New York and Philadelphia and run the FIXED parties, plus Casablanca label Casa Voyager, and you have a diverse yet coherent lineup of passionate selectors gracing the Oasis decks.
Mixing an authentic cultural experience with a world-class soundtrack, traditional local customs, and friendly hosts, Oasis Festival caters to those passionate about adventurous travel and the quality sounds of the underground. Taking place at the magical and luxurious Fellah Hotel at the foot of the Atlas Mountains, the Oasis Festival grounds are ripe with tropical gardens, palm trees, cacti, and sun-soaked swimming pools all backed by breathtaking vistas. Bringing something fresh to the region and offering a chance to party under the North African stars and warm summer rays, there are—for the first time this year—three stages at Oasis Festival, and each one offers an immersive experience like no other.
Phase Three tickets are still available for $198.00 and Phase Four tickets are soon to be released.
