The Italians—as Mike Simonetti is fond of proclaiming—tend to 'do it better'. And when it comes to hosting electronic music festivals, there's simply no questioning the merits of the Kappa Futur Festival or —to give it its name without the iconic branding—the Torino Summer Music Festival.

Detroit's notorious dance festival enters its 15th year with another definitive list of techno talent within its wares.

“Time is always my biggest battle,” states voice of the dance music nation, Pete Tong. “Finding the time to do it all and have the right head space to listen to so much music, you have to be on the case!” And he certainly was on the case again in 2012, picking up the DJ Mag gong for Best Radio Show for his tireless work on the Essential Selection each and every week.

In its nine-year history, Bestival has become one of the biggest festivals in the country, with only really Glastonbury rivalling it in terms of the legendary names that headline each year. In 2012 it was musical genius Stevie Wonder that provided the big draw, but with hundreds of other acts from Azealia Banks to The xx to New Order spanning numerous genres and generations, Bestival really is the festival for everyone.

To say Jessie Ware’s had a good year would be rather an understatement. Her diva vocals, that hark back to a golden era of house and draw comparisons with Sade and Donna Summer, have found increasing favour with the UK bass scene’s underground producers and, like Katy B before her, garnered a Mercury nomination.

As we edge towards the eighth edition, the festival could not be in better health, its appeal heightened by a new location – the Tisno site it launched last summer – and a reputation that consistently garners record numbers year in, year out.
