☀️ This summer, we once again remain the only Bulgarian organization delivering a program entirely dedicated to drum & bass / jungle culture. Over the past decade, we’ve built a tradition of two concept-driven events aimed at growing and uniting the scene locally and across the Balkans. One is the iconic "HMSU Summer Festival" - the longest-running music festival in Bulgaria, with 25 consecutive editions, and a proven catalyst for inspiration, development, and community. The other is "Bass Sea Festival", our boutique seaside experience co-created with the legendary British label Formation Records, transforming one of the last wild beaches on the southern Black Sea coast into a timeless escape for artists and fans alike. This year, we unite both concepts into one powerful experience - a single festival on our beloved “Wake Up” Beach in the village of Varvara, on Bulgaria’s Black Sea coast. Expect more themed daytime sessions, multiple locations, and new surprises crafted for the true heads.
