This festival has a reputation for memorable parties, or forgotten parties, depending on your tolerance. The music happens out of the Octopussy Beach Club, Calvi, Corsica, which is a pretty scenic surrounds, complete with local ruins, ancient churches and azure sea lined beaches, and since the dance fest became a favourite of LCD Soundsystem DJ James Murphy in 2005 it's become much talked about.

It all happens round the beginning of July.
