The amount of hard work, commitment and energy which goes into running a festival is unfathomable. It might seem easy to dump a few dj's in a field for a weekend however to actually build the entirety of the experience into something which has meaning, has purpose, has an identity and a soul is a whole different thing entirely.

Sarcus Festival is an emerging French festival who are this year keen to target a wider European audience. The growing event has become a staple of the French festival calendar, showcasing local producers and dj's in a way which is unrivalled and eclectic.

This year the festival will take place in the 9th of September and play host to a cast of dj's and friends who each share the collective vision of this unique festival which places great emphasis on environmental stability and disconnection.

Phones are locked away, guests and artists are asked to travel by rail rather than fly and the goal is to create a renewable experience which excels and represents the very best of underground music culture.

Oh and then there's the music. This year they've booked the likes of Bambounou, Luca Lozano, Jane Fitz, Jamie Tiller, Voiski and many more.

We invited the crew to record a mixtape and show us all about the sound of the festival, whilst they reflect on what makes Sarcus so special.
