Oasis Festival unveils today a new slew of artists who will come to reinforce the impressive line-up of the fifth edition of this pioneering festival in Marrakech in September. Seth Troxler, Amelie Lens and Recondite are added to a poster that will also be an opportunity to highlight the rising and confirmed values of the Moroccan underground scene.
Initiated in 2015, Oasis Festival has since firmly established itself as the reference meeting point for electronic music in North Africa. With its careful programming, it hosts in Morocco the cream of the DJs and live acts of the planet – often a first in this country for these artists – while giving a visibility and a new international audience to a local scene in full expansion.

DJs from Casablanca Yasmean and Jessin will still cheer up this trend of very spicy vintage.
The live performance of Kosh will be the opportunity to taste his mix of ambient, dub, downtempo and drum’n’bass, while the figurehead of the DEMENT3D label and renowned French selector François X will spread his warm outpourings. house in abundance. In the radius of curiosities, the Mozhgan-Californian Irano will give a glimpse of his dark-clubbing sonic arsenal, and the resident DJ of the Red Light Radio Amsterdam Carista will correlate bass music, soul, hip hop and techno.
