It takes a repeat performance to start a streak and as SXM Festival enters its Sophomore year, the thoughtfully curated series of House & Techno Showcases hopes to make a streak out of its early success. Spread over a number of idyllic venues across the beautiful back drop of Saint Martin in the Caribbean, SXM adopts the day & night party showcase format of festivals like BPM and ADE. With the festivities kicking off in just a few days we hope to catch a bit of the magic that has earned this newcomer on the increasingly crowded festival circuit a ton of early praise and accolades. While the curators of SXM have demonstrated much care to weave a wonderfully diverse vibe and sound over the course of five days, conflicts are inevitable and we’ve taken an equal measure of care to plan out our musical itinerary and to ensure maximum dancing.
Read on to get a sense of where we’ll be across this five day journey into sonic bliss, it’s not for nothing we chose SXM Festival as one of the 9 unforgettable festival experiences worth the flight!
