HISTORY: The gorgeous imperial city of Marrakech has stolen the hearts of many celebrities, with its magnificent climate and the outstanding landscapes that is known to have; from the mountains to the dunes, from the palm trees to the deserts, the fusion that warmed the hearts of all of these iconic personalities, as they all share their love and passion for the ocher city.
So there, in the middle of the desert, just south of the state’s capital of Marrakech, laid Oasis Festival. The festival’s second edition had a change of location and was moved to “The Source”, a luxury resort consisting of picturesque Berber-like buildings functioning as hotel rooms. The idea behind Oasis Festival was to organize an event with international as well as settled local DJ’s to show the potential of a now rapidly growing Moroccan scene. This year alone, two new dance festivals popped up in the wake of Oasis succesful debut edition in 2015, in the form of Atlasand Moga Festival. Other than that, people like the internationally booked Moroccan DJ Amine K are influential spokespeople for their home country when traveling to dance music hubs like Amsterdam, Berlin or Ibiza.
