Mind Against Headline the Welcome Return of Snoopy Beats
It’s been a long time coming but Snoopy Beats is back! And this time the theme is Elysium Rebirth. It’s billed as an “epic reunion of the greatest warriors, legends and heroes our world has ever seen”. Mind Against headline on Friday 29 October – and that’s no myth.
For the uninitiated, Snoopy Beats takes over Sandy Beach Hotel & Resort – directly opposite Snoopy Island – in Fujairah for weekends of on-point music and boutique beach festival vibes. The Elysium themed event was originally planned for March 2020. Putting guests’ safety first, the promoters cancelled that party weekend in light of Covid. “Following a seemingly endless rotation around the sun”, party people can now enjoy the rescheduled event this weekend.
It kicks off on Friday with Barada, Bachir Salloum and headliners Mind Against providing the special Snoopy Beats. And the fun continues on Saturday with Crussen and Aaya.
Lasting Memories
Enticing clubbers out of the “Dubai bubble”, every Snoopy Beats weekend is special. The promoters go all out on decor, claiming Snoopy Beats is all about experiences that create lasting memories. “Every event is a highly tailored weekend getaway, special and unique,” they say. “In our eyes, we want our guests to immerse themselves in the natural surroundings and enjoy the pristine white sandy beach as they dance against the dramatic backdrop of the Hajar Mountains with breathtaking views across the Indian Ocean and the famous Snoopy Island.”
As Mind Against, Italian brothers Alessandro and Federico Fognini are blazing trails across the dance music landscape. In September the Berlin-based pair embarked on their first overseas tour in two years. They’ve been pretty hectic since, touring North America and playing a special set at the top of the Zalmhaven skyscraper in Rotterdam. And they continue to be prolific in the studio. The Fognini siblings teamed up with Colyn to remix KAS:ST’s Who’s To Say What’s Real track. It came out on Afterlife in September. Check it out below. Mind Against hit Snoopy Beats the same day their Reveries EP drops on Maeve Records.
