ON THE FLOOR


BPM, MEXICO


Keeping the BPM Celebrating its fifth anniversary this year, BPM Mexico 2012 deploys its second phase of artist announcements…


THE brainchild of Canadian-born Pulitano and Craig Pettigrew, BPM Mexico started out, from day one, as a week-long series of parties showcasing 40 or so underground house and techno DJs in 2008. These days, it’s stretched out over 10 days, featuring 120 artists — this year including Dubfi re, Davide Squillace, Richie Hawtin, Loco Dice, Steve Lawler, Jamie Jones, Deniz Kurtel and Guy Gerber — who all deploy a devastating dose of beats over a sun-licked location dotted with wood-weave shacks, lush tropical plantation and sand-dusted beachside bars as part of a series of parties in various venues across the resort throughout the fi rst part of January (30th December 2011–8th January 2012).


As well as the stretches of white sandy beaches, the local town is a spread of winding cobblestone lanes lined with tasty restaurants and authentic cafes with tables out in the streets. So, in-between dancing your tits off to thumping tech beats, you can actually feel like you are on holiday. But with Danny Tenaglia kicking off the New Year with a party on New Year’s Eve, at a festival that — after doubling each year since starting fi ve years ago — is expected to attract 50,000 beat-obsessed ravers from all over the world over its duration, who’s gonna wanna rest?
