Sultry Mist Returns For Its 3rd Edition With Auntie Flo, ART ATTACK, Laxmi Bomb, DJ Khobir & More

Sultry Mist returns for its 3rd edition between March 6-8 across Aldona, Corjuem and Olaulim in North Goa. Rooted in nature, experimentation and deep listening, the boutique gathering once again weaves music, art, food and conversation into an intimate, sensorial weekend.

Friday opens with workshops at The Project Cafe as Qareebi's Tarab Instruments hosts a practical session on diagnosing and repairing music gear, while DJ-producer Zequenx leads ‘Sonic Dissent’, exploring political sampling, experimental production in Ableton Live and the ethics of documentary audio. The evening unfolds across HH Art Spaces and Binca’s Social Club, with the Arak String Quartet scoring Gil Mac’s solo show and a collaboration with Cosmic Roach, a live act by Charleys’ Horse, and Da Saz ending the day by spinning crate-dug selections at Binca's.

Saturday begins with a dhrupad lecture-demonstration by Ashish Sankritarayam at Olaulim Backyards, followed by Jussi Brightmore’s participatory ‘Dream Share’ at The Project Cafe. At Corjuem Gymkhana, Rana Ghose’s 'Bass Boss' screens ahead of a Q&A and a set by the Dek bass short film subject DJ Khobir himself. Later, the acid-tinged ART ATTACK variety show will feature DJ sets by Nikhil Chopra, Shivani Gupta, Gurjeet Sing and Avril Stormy Unger, hosted by Violeta Lisboa, before culminating in a live set by Mumbai’s rap powerhouses Laxmi Bomb. Phil Rock then hosts sets by 2rana 3crana and resident Party Smith for a late-night dancefloor stretch.

Sunday is spent at Olaulim Backyards, beginning with a biosonification experience and brunch performance by Auntie Flo, who returns to Sultry Mist after collaborating with local musicians in the previous edition. Poolside, Tom of England and UMA DJ play through till sunset, while an ambient zone hosts Qareebi, Pulpy Shilpy and a closing dhrupad concert by Ashish Sankrityayan. The weekend winds down with a final takeover at The Project Cafe, soundtracked by Electroson.
