Sophie Festival Returns To Málaga In 2025 With Open-Air Series

Sophie Festival is back this summer with its most expansive edition to date, transforming Ogus Park in Málaga into a six-weekend pilgrimage site for electronic music lovers.
Sophie Festival spans from June through September 2025 and will feature a tightly curated selection of artists across both underground and headline circuits, including Bicep, Ricardo Villalobos, Richie Hawtin, Charlotte de Witte, Nina Kraviz, Solomun, Helena Hauff, and ANOTR.
Málaga’s Ogus Park Becomes a Seasonal Home for Global Club Culture
Just ten minutes from Málaga’s city centre, Ogus Park offers an open-air sanctuary where nature and sound converge. This year, Sophie Festival expands into a hybrid format: three full-scale Weekender events and three standalone dates, each tailored to foster immersive audio-visual experiences. The modular schedule makes it easy for both international travelers and local music seekers to take part in individual dates or commit to the full season.
A Carefully Stacked Line-up with Something for Every Taste
The programming reads like a love letter to contemporary club culture. Bicep’s rare Chroma AV show will headline the Grand Closing in September, while other standout acts such as Overmono, Âme, The Blessed Madonna, and Maceo Plex bring depth and diversity to the billing. For those who crave the minimal, the obscure, or the cerebral, names like Raresh, Sonja Moonear, Octave One (Live), and Onur Özer add richness to the underground offering.
Highlights across individual dates include:
-
June 20–21 (Grand Opening): Solomun plays an extended set on opening night, while The Blessed Madonna and Chaos in the CBD take over the following day, alongside Mathew Jonson (Live) and Sugar Free B2B Fonte.
-
June 28: Charlotte de Witte, Enrico Sangiuliano, and tINI are among those filling out a heavyweight techno showcase.
-
July 18–19 (Special Weekender): Nina Kraviz and Maceo Plex headline the first night, followed by a rare back-to-back between Ricardo Villalobos and Raresh. Dekmantel Soundsystem’s curated set rounds out the weekend.
-
August 1–2 (Special Weekender): ANOTR and Apollonia step in with house-driven sounds, while Richie Hawtin and Helena Hauff take charge of the darker side of the spectrum.
-
September 6: Marco Carola and Chris Stussy keep things dancefloor-ready for the penultimate date.
-
September 13 (Grand Closing): Bicep’s AV/DJ set promises a fitting send-off, joined by Overmono and a closing lineup yet to be fully revealed.
uilding a Cultural Movement, Not Just a Festival
According to Sophie Festival Director Felipe Kuo, the mission is as much about community as it is about curation. “The goal is clear: to put Málaga firmly on the global map of world-class electronic music destinations,” he said. That vision is reflected not only in the line-up, but in the festival’s atmosphere—bringing together visual art, stage design, and sound architecture to offer more than just a party.
Tickets and Travel
Tickets for the Grand Opening are currently available at sophie.es. With the full season now revealed and limited capacity per weekend, early booking is highly recommended. Flights to Málaga from major European cities remain frequent and affordable, making this a top-tier summer option for electronic music enthusiasts looking for a destination experience.
Final Word
With a stunning location, a carefully balanced line-up, and a growing global profile, Sophie Festival’s 2025 season is shaping up to be a landmark for Spain’s electronic scene. Whether you’re chasing sun-drenched house grooves, deep minimal cuts, or immersive AV performances, this summer in Málaga promises something real.

Vintage Culture Drops Y2K-Inspired Capsule With Von Dutch Loves

Vintage Culture x Von Dutch Loves presents a bold capsule collection inspired by nightlife and nostalgia.
Brazilian DJ and producer Vintage Culture has teamed up with Von Dutch Loves for an exclusive capsule collection that blends Y2K aesthetics with underground nightlife influence. Designed by Vintage Culture himself, the limited edition line includes distressed tees, trucker hats, jerseys, and crop tops that channel early 2000s street style with a rebellious edge. First unveiled during his headline set at Sónar Festival, the collection is now available for pre-order and reflects both the artist’s creative vision and Von Dutch’s legacy of fearless fashion.
A Personal Vision Brought to Life Through Fashion
The collaboration offers a deeper look into Vintage Culture’s creative identity beyond music. Rather than leaning into flashy logos or generic festival wear, the pieces are built with texture, contrast, and attitude in mind. Items like the black jersey and distressed tees carry hand-drawn graphics and layered details that reflect his connection to late-night culture and underground spaces. The women’s zip crop tops and trucker caps add a playful edge while staying rooted in club aesthetics.
This wasn’t just a branding exercise. The collection was shaped by Vintage Culture’s input throughout, down to design elements and styling choices that feel personal rather than performative. By debuting the looks during his headline set at Sonar, he gave fans a first-hand experience of how sound and style can evolve together.
Inside the Vintage Culture x Von Dutch Loves Collection
The capsule introduces a gritty yet wearable mix of streetwear and club fashion. Distressed finishes, sketched graphics, and textured fabrics give the collection its edge. The men’s black tee features oversized Von Dutch Loves branding on the back, while the v-neck jersey with metallic silver trim brings a sporty twist to nightlife attire. Trucker caps arrive in bold two-tone colorways like orange and grey, with raw detailing that nods to early 2000s fashion.
On the women’s side, the high-neck zip crop tops in black and white are built for movement between day parties and nightclubs. Each piece reflects Vintage Culture’s commitment to creative control, from the stitching details to the choice of silhouettes. The result is a line that captures the raw individuality of underground culture without feeling forced or overdesigned.
Pre-Order the Drop Now
The Vintage Culture x Von Dutch Loves collection brings together music, fashion, and individuality in a way that feels intentional and fresh. It is not just a product launch, but a creative statement from one of dance music’s most influential names. From the distressed tees to the Y2K-inspired trucker caps, each item reflects a shared vision rooted in nightlife and self-expression.
Pre-orders are now open at vondutchloves.com, with limited quantities available. Whether you’re a longtime fan or discovering Vintage Culture for the first time, this collection is a chance to own a piece of the movement.
