Sophie Chapter #9

High note ending for Sophie’s second year. It’s been an incredible journey, and we wanted to close it in the best way possible, celebrating big with all of you.

For this, we’ve invited three of the most prominent figures on the international scene to take the Main Stage and deliver two unforgettable rituals of pure rhythm and techno hedonism. One of them will be the joining of forces for one night only: Jamie Jones B2B Luciano. We could stop at this point and continue, because the mention of their names speaks for itself. But just in case there’s anyone who doesn’t know them yet, it’s necessary to point out that we’re facing two DJs and producers with innate talent and countless hours of experience in their hands. Jamie Jones is the mastermind behind Hot Creations and the Paradise parties in Ibiza. He has played at major festivals and events worldwide, and his mastery on the decks is more than evident – he essentially has and selects the best tracks and mixes them like no other. The same can be said of Lucien Nicolet, aka Luciano: a pivotal artist in the early 2000s minimal scene, the Swiss-Chilean founded the Cadenza label and became a star DJ on the Ibiza scene for many years. His blend of techno and house with traces of trance and Latin influences is renowned. Now, imagine what they can achieve together. Or even better: don’t imagine, come dance to it. In addition to these two, Sophie is pleased to welcome the great Sonja Moonear. The Geneva-based DJ is a true master of the dancefloor, with an in-depth understanding of all the intricacies of her profession. She’s a regular on labels like Perlon and events like Cocoon or Tomorrowland. Her exquisite taste is well-known in the international circuit, and her versatility allows her to move effortlessly between house and techno, adjusting the tempo as she pleases. It’s a luxury and an honor to have her for our final party. Alongside these titans, the day will be opened by Venezuelan Giorgio Maulini, a fanatic of Detroit techno and Chicago house, always prioritizing groove in his sets above all else. And the trio Les Jinetes, formed by locals Alexis Cabrera, Ignacio Morales, and Handfree, will take the decks, bringing the virtues of their magnificent EP on the Berlin-based Funkamp label.

All of this will take place on the main stage. But in the meantime – and simultaneously – the Modular Stage will be taken over by the Picnic collective, led for the occasion by the wonderful Margaret Dygas and her fusion of dub, techno, and experimental funk, cultivated through her residencies in New York, London, and Berlin. Alongside her, we’ll enjoy the back-to-back session between Dale Mussington and Sam Bangura (watch out for him), as well as sets from the Brits Loa Szala, Andy Luff, and New Yorker Evan Baggs – all emerging DJs with an exceptional ear for spinning the best minimal house of the moment.
