After a monster storm blew through on the Sunday morning and a full move indoors, we'd all but give up hope of returning to The Hive. With one hour to spare the mighty Sun parted the clouds and gave us the most glorious final parting gift to our beautiful main stage. 

And who better to soundtrack that moment that James and Blake of Love Project. Having begun their set indoors, the production team scrambled to move things back outdoors and in a matter of moments, the whole festival was once again dancing in our beautiful green meadow. 

You can feel the magic and energy in this recording and it is a true testament to the positivity and spirit of all involved in this moment and the whole weekend at large.

Things heated up quickly Saturday morning when ArchiLo stepped up. Revolver 3181 resident and all-round legend brought only the funkiest and grooviest wax to start the day. The vibes could not have been higher and even if you weren't there to experience it, the magic is unmistakable when you listen back.

Whether you're sipping your first morning coffee or knocking back a cold one after a long day, this is the soundtrack you've been looking for.

Resident Rising Sun DJ A.R.Lloyd brings a good dose of sunshine and radiance on this incredible 3hr journey to open the very first Rising Sun Festival. 

As patrons filtered through the gates it was truly magical to hear the music float through the trees for the first time. Angus played the late slot on the very first incarnation of Rising Sun back in 2020 and since then, has been a key player in getting it off the ground. Don't forget to check out A.R.Lloyd's closing set at the Honeycomb stage that same night!

Relive the beginning of the inaugural Rising Sun..

The perfect late afternoon doof experience. 

Brothers brought an incredible 2 hours of progressive magic reminiscent of afternoons at the sacred Market Stage.

Lose yourself in this stunning soundtrack that begins almost whimsically before blossoming into a deep rolling groove.

The QuiteNiceActually boys take the dancefloor on a big silly house adventure. With the afternoon sun high in the sky there was no shortage of vocal bangers and cheeky smiles.

Procyon label boss AJ Walker closes out The Hive on Friday night at the very first Rising Sun Festival. 

A symphony of progressive rollers and punchy psychedelia thundered through the clearing, punctuated perfectly by the liquid lighting courtesy of MarinateAV. 

Echoes of some of the most iconic doofs reverberated in that space that evening. Whether you were lucky enough to be there or are just hearing it for the first time we hope you love this mix as much as we do.
