Sunburn is the new three day festival held at Candolim Beach, Goa; a cosmopolitan meeting place of international cultures.
It is a melting pot where the best DJ’s from Europe and the West come together to meet India’s finest music talent and a new generation of clubbers. This is the second year of the event originally headlined in 07 by Above and Beyond, Carl Cox, John 00 Fleming and Axwell.
Every year a label is invited to host a stage at the festival, this year it is the turn of Defected Records who will showcase their headliners for 08.
Of all the festivals around the world none can claim to be as exotic as this. As a location it is inextricably linked with dance music. Goa is the place to rediscover modern rave culture in a free-spirited and untainted environment.
Along with its strengthening economy, the music scene in India is booming, but thankfully the pound hasn’t lost all it’s clout just yet; everything is affordable and an unforgettable experience will cost you far less than any festival in Europe. Sunburn has elevated the Indian club scene to a global level.
Defected further celebrate this event with a new release ‘Defected In the House – Goa 08’, a compilation mixed by India’s newest and brightest talent, DJ Pearl – as well as Defected’s finest ATFC and Simon Dunmore – which will be available locally in India as well as distributed around the world. It is the first project of its kind.
