Dekmantel Selectors 2027 – Underground Sounds on the Adriatic

Dekmantel Selectors 2027 is expected to bring its intimate celebration of adventurous electronic music back to The Garden Resort in Tisno, Croatia. Set beside the glittering Adriatic, this limited-capacity gathering combines exceptional DJ culture with warm summer days, open-air dancing and a close-knit international community.

Launched in 2016 by Amsterdam’s Dekmantel collective, Selectors was created around a simple principle: bigger does not always mean better. Instead of relying on oversized stages and conventional headline sets, the festival places musical storytelling at its centre. Emerging artists, established selectors and respected record collectors receive the freedom to move between genres, tempos and eras without sacrificing their individual style.

The Dekmantel Selectors 2027 line-up and ticket information have not yet been officially announced. The latest edition featured an adventurous programme including Hunee with Optimo, Job Jobse with Peach and Shanti Celeste, Benji B, Marcel Dettmann, Palms Trax, Mr Scruff, Antal, Ron Trent, Sedef Adasï with L.B. Dub Corp, Fadi Mohem with Ogazón and Dekmantel Soundsystem. The next chapter can be expected to continue this exploratory approach, moving through house, techno, electro, disco, dub, bass, broken beat and harder-to-classify discoveries.

A handful of distinctive stages shape the daytime experience. The Beach Bar offers gentle seaside selections, while Magnolia creates a setting for immersive listening. Voodoo moves into deeper rhythmic territory, The Nest hosts powerful experimental sounds and Beach Main delivers waterside euphoria as the sun descends towards the horizon.

The journey extends beyond the resort through boat parties curated by forward-thinking labels, clubs, radio stations and collectives. After dark, dancers travel to the open-air Barbarella’s Discotheque, where sets continue beneath the stars until sunrise. The festival’s remote island gathering adds another memorable dimension, carrying selected artists and guests away from the mainland for an exclusive musical escape.

Accommodation is available at The Garden Resort and throughout Tisno, including apartments, mobile homes, hostels and private rentals. On-site restaurants, bars and food traders make it easy to remain within the festival atmosphere throughout the day.

Dekmantel Selectors 2027 promises another refined Adriatic retreat where every transition matters, curiosity guides the dancefloor and electronic music becomes a shared language between artists and audience.
