Acquario

Let’s celebrate the opening of the twelfth season of Acquario in grand style, thrilled to have Wata Igarashi back with us for the fourth time in less than ten years.

Head of WIP, with regular appearances at the most renowned venues and festivals in the world, such as Berghain, Bassiani or Dekmantel, Sónar and Monument, Wata’s music has always meant something deep for Acquario and its community, because of his ability to turn sound into the key instrument of an intense and profound collective ritual: a space where opposites attract and intimate wonder meets physical and unrestrained euphoria.

Expect a relentlessly mental and classy flow, yet deeply kinetic!

See you all on the dancefloor of our beloved Masada to live and share this magic!

Words by E.P.

Season 12. Seasons of wild mornings, golden afternoons, mad nights and connections that turned into family.
Let’s go again into this journey. Genuinely honored to still be doing this and share with you all!

Even more grateful to have our old friend Wata Igarashi back, and to welcome J. Somoza joining us for the first time.

Visual mapping by Matta FUnk G (yes, he is back!)

Rooted in psytrance and live performance, Solarythm’s sound has evolved towards deep, mental, progressive and techno landscapes, always guided by a strong trance-driven, hypnotic energy.
Rejecting rigid genre boundaries, he develops a hybrid approach focused on the dancefloor and long-form storytelling.

Some things come back: this return you feel before it even arrives!

A date getting slowly closer and with it comes something we know well: Münch, Outburst K***s and Viels back behind the decks, back in a home called Gare.

A tradition that never stops repeating itself and it is soon time to dance this fifth year of Gare together. Thankful always to Amulador for the invitation.

Komorebi’s resident Euca and his accurate sound during our Immersion in November is Joe available on Sc.
Relax and enjoy the ride.

Hypnotic, steady and built around movement, Lemarie’s style is considered the real key for the true deep techno sound.
Collector and vinyl player, she shaped her sound between Valencia and Berlin scenes, bringing a strong sense of selection and sonic detail to the booth, building precise dj sets and intese flow..

Flowers are raining down.
(Yes, a bit late! We took a few days to land softly, to breathe, before putting this magic into words)

Like in a Magritte painting, where the sky bends to dream and ordinary things fall in extraordinary ways. Where the marvellous is the only logic that makes sense.

AND SO DID YOU.
You set aside reason, turned everything on its head, bent the rules of what was possible, all to hold this journey together and give it meaning. Just like in that painting, you made the impossible feel inevitable.

This season has been exactly that: surreal and true at the same time.
A collective garden, tended in the shadows by patient and invisible hands, asking for nothing in return. EVERY PRESENCE shaped its roots, EVERY GESTURE changed its form.

We throw them into the air with endless gratitude 🤍
To all of you who turned our chaos into magic and effort into beauty.

One of the most intense and introspective dj set we had the pleasure to listen during the last season. Eric Cloutier and his unmistakable capacity of transport us in his personal dimension left us speechless.
Enjoy the journey !

22-23.05.26 Gratitude
We took a moment to breath: what a final chapter.

Once again into the night of Amelia carried by , .vuoto and .sweetland, painting a vault full of colored balloons, surprising and warm sounds.

Then back under the light at Masada, swept away by , SnPLO (PLO Man and DJ Spence), , , and , among family vibes, elegance and deep ceremonial groove.

And flowers raining down on all of us, as if lifted from a Magritte canvas.

Thank you to all the people there for making this season final something else entirely.

We’ll be back soon with a special dedication! 🌸
