Nocturne arrives with a precise selection of experiences to remind us that, in the midst of a digital content frenzy and a global crisis, the most important thing is to find ourselves. On the dance floor, discovering an artist's catharsis on stage, or in an environment that reshapes reality. These are the three keys to an unmissable night.
Nocturne = Dance
The immersive and spacious setting of Room A will bring together acts that kaleidoscope through the moods that invite us to move.
First, with four hours of Circle of Live, in which Pantha Du Prince, Leafar Legov, and Sebastian Mullaert will deliver a live set inspired by the energy of the moment: expect trippy rhythms in an improvisational mix with three masters of atmospheric sounds.
Then Andy Martin and Cora Novoa will deliver a techno blast, each in their own unique way. Andy Martin arrives with a live preview of new original material, fresh from lighting up the Dekmantel Selectors. Volcano Cora Novoa presents Mental Diary, a project filled with industrial, bass, and dark wave that spans several years of her career: get your best goti-dance moves ready.
To close, we all head to Room B to be part of a phenomenon called DJ Travella. Accelerated polyrhythms and cheerful samplers remind us of the most vital thing: that primal joy of finding ourselves at the party.




Nocturne = Discovery
Trust: every performance tonight will impact you in some way. Nocturne's artistic programming is designed to dissolve hierarchies of popularity or renown, based purely on the stature of the performance and the construction of a unique narrative.
Voice Actor will create a suggestive collage of downtempo, IDM, and spoken word. Ash Fure and aya & Ztaa will perform acts where physicality and sonic rawness counterbalance technological tools. Portrait XO and Seulement will show what can be created when artificial intelligence and a lot of soul are combined. Lyos & San Joserra will take us through an audiovisual territory inspired by Ecatepec and its transformations, created through experimentation, research, and their own creative language. And DJ Fucci x Iceblade will take us to a speculative space inspired by the Olmec legacy and digital possibilities.



Nocturne = Immersion
For several hours, Nocturne disrupts reality. It becomes a space that dissolves the ideas of a club, a rave, or an audiovisual exhibition to open up possibilities. Technical aspects such as lighting, stage design, and the use of robots and artificial intelligence as creative collaborators give way to incredible fictions.
Led by an incredible technical team, Florence To, Jaco Schilp, JS Baillat, and Pavel Zmuchila are the artists who will transform Nocturne's two naves into multidimensional canvases for the unfolding of the night.
The invitation is to look beyond the stage: to let the setting be part of the whole that is Nocturne. Forget all notions of a Friday night and let yourself go.
