[GrooveCartel] UNUM Festival Announces Lineup for 2025

UNUM Festival is a shining example of the purest form of underground electronic music. The 2025 version will be held from June 5th to 10th in the beautiful Rana e Hedhun, Albania. The Phase 1 lineup includes some of the biggest names in underground electronic music, including Dixon, Ricardo Villalobos, and Sonja Moonear.

What makes UNUM unique is its dedication to exploring music nonstop. During the festival, the Albanian coast becomes an acoustic refuge for five days and nights in a row. Time stops being measured by the passing of time and the rhythm of the waves. The 24-hour programming philosophy comes from a deep knowledge of the culture of electronic music, where long musical journeys are more important than making money.

The Lineup for the 2025 edition

The Phase 1 news shows a carefully chosen lineup that includes artists of all ages and styles. Dixon, one of the most sought-after artists in electronic music for his masterful control of tension and release, teams up with the mysterious Ricardo Villalobos, whose experimental take on minimal techno has affected many other artists. They are playing with Sonja Moonear, whose tasteful choices mix old classics with newer hits. This shows that UNUM values musical depth over market appeal.

Seth Troxler‘s addition promises to add his unique mix of Detroit house and European minimal to the mix, while Damian Lazarus‘s addition brings his mysterious style to electronic music. Carlita, a rising star, reflects the new generation and brings new ideas to the underground sound.

The Three Stages of UNUM

The three separate stages at the event make it easy to try out new music:

This year, the Pine Stage is UNUM’s beating heart and is always open during the event. It is tucked away among old pine trees and makes for a cozy place for long musical trips. This is where artists like Raresh and Priku can go deep into their record collections without having to hurry.

The Beach Stage uses the energy of the Adriatic Coast’s renewable energy. From dawn until dusk, artists who know how to do delicate daytime programming play there, adding hypnotic beats and subtle progressions to the natural setting.

As the sun goes down, the Main Stage turns into the festival’s powerhouse, where acts like Dixon can play their best choices for peak times.

The place where UNUM is located in Albania is more than just a pretty scene. It represents how underground electronic music culture can spread around the world and turn surprising places into cultural landmarks. The event was a big part of putting Albania on the map for electronic music. It connected dance music cultures from Eastern and Western Europe.

The Experience at the UNUM Festival

Besides the music, UNUM offers something that is becoming less common at festivals these days. When you combine beautiful natural settings with continuous music programming and a crowd that values music enjoyment over social media moments, you create a space where real connections can grow.

For people who know that the best electronic music is about making moments that go beyond time and space, UNUM is more than just another event.

Between the pine woods and the Adriatic Sea, UNUM 2025 looks like it will be another exciting part of one of the most interesting stories in electronic music. If you know what I mean when I say that the best parties are often the hardest to find, UNUM is that one place where underground reputation and natural beauty work together perfectly.
