Kappa Futura has, since inception, always aimed to go above and beyond what is perhaps expected of a festival. From the outlandish stage design, impeccable sound staging, and of course the marquee artist programming. If you cast your mind back to recent editions which saw sets from Ricardo Villalobos, Apollonia, Luciano, Marco Carola, Larry Heard, the biggest hitters all converge on Turin for this yearly occasion. This year is of course no different and for three days between July 5th-7th the Parco Dorra will play host to thousands of international ravers once again.
Phase One has already provided many talking points and forward thinking electronic music is clearly at the heart of their program. With a view to providing a range of tastes and vibes the talent just in this initial salvo is impressive to say the least. To cater for more underground sounds that you will be well acquainted with Jeff Mills, Legowelt (live), Marco Shuttle b2b Jane Fitz, Quest b2b Christian AB, and Seth Troxler are already secured on the lineup. The pairing of Four Tet b2b Floating Points will most certainly be one not to be missed for the more bass heavy yet soulful end of the musical spectrum, Bonobo b2b DJ Tennis will also provide a fresh new joint performance.
Moving on the recent Phase 2 announcement and there are even more top notch names to add to the already bulging team sheet. As expected, the scale of this festival is truly reflected in the artists that will be performing. Making a very rare b2b appearance will be none other two of Detroit’s favourite sons in Carl Craig b2b Moodymann, Simone De Kunovich, The Martinez Brothers, and for the techno heads The Hacker b2b Alessandro Adriano. Keen diggers will find a wealth of forgotten gems hiding in plain sight in the Frenchman’s back catalogue just waiting to be repurposed for modern dance floors.
There is still plenty to be announced so make sure you follow Kappa Futur Festival on their socials to keep up to date on all their happenings.
