dance music holiday, where the artists and attendees all
We caught up with the festival owner Jason to hear
helps create the family vibe.
What's your highlight from
Groovefest to date?
There have been a few but I think
Dennis Ferrer, Andre Hommen
and The Martinez Brothers in the
first year was definitely a highlight
for me. The only thing I can say,
which won't make too much sense
unless you were there, is ''Tequila
Tequila''. We had a lot of fun!
What has been the most
memorable set for you so far?
One that really stands out for me
is Osunlade's set last year which
brought a whole new energy. He
killed it that night and his sound is
so unique.
What's your biggest dream for
the festival?
The biggest dream of the festival
is to be selling out the whole
resort and booking even more
talent for the different stages we
can create.
What advice would you give
anyone who wants to create their
own festival?
You have to be really dedicated
and prepared to keep fighting
through the times when you think
your a mad man for taking on such
a project. It's like a rollercoaster of
emotions which is all part of the
challenge.
A few fun ones to finish. If you
could fill a swimming pool with
anything, what would it be?
All of my friends. I have a great
group of mates and I would love
them to go everywhere with me
because we have so much fun
together.
If you could take only three tunes
to a desert island what would
they be?
Bob Marley - 'Sun is Shining', Raze
- 'Break 4 Love', and Cardigans -
'Erase Rewind'.
What's the first record you
bought?
The first record I bought was
"Hammer Time" back when the
running man was cool!
