Ocaso is a paradisiacal escape to the coastal jungles of Costa Rica with a world-class soundtrack. Performing this year from Jan 6th-9th, 2023 are the likes of Solomun, Adriatique, Michael Bibi, Magdalena, Chloé Caillet, and more.
Expect to hear them play in some truly unique locations from jungle parties to beach afterparties and a purpose-built main stage in the local town.
As it gets ever closer, we caught up with West Coast house legend Doc Martin, who runs the Sublevel Music label and is riding high off his recent EP release ‘Clouds / Stereo’ alongside Joeski.
Ahead of his performance at Ocaso Festival 2023, Doc Martin shares some of his current favorite jams.
