What is The BPM Festival?
While most of us have the opportunity to get away from the cold Canadian winter during the holidays, most Bartenders, Promoters and Managers have to entertain. The 1st Annual BPM Festival in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico in January 2008 served up a forum for venue professionals to congregate and have some fun!
The latest addition to the blistering international party calendar was the 7 day electronic music festival dedicated to all players in the industry. Every aspect of the industry was represented including top international artists, event planners, venue owners, hospitality staff and Canadian music enthusiasts; not to mention a huge Mexican contingent.
The BPM Team produced the festivities at Kool Beach Club by day and various venues by night. Co-Organizer and DJ Craig Pettigrew secured an impressive line up for BPM in its initial year. Steve Lawler, Dubfire (Deep Dish), Pablo Ceballos (Chus & Ceballos), Gabriel & Dresden and Victor Calderone headlined the evening events at Coco Maya, El Cielo and Blue Parrot to name a few. Pettigrew and DJ partner James Doman (Doman & Pettigrew), along with DJ Addy tore down the house when they played Alux, a unique natural cave. Now know as the 'Cave Party', it boasts to be one of the best venues to party at during the festival.
Kool Beach Club schmooze, booze 'n' dance gathering was the official meeting place for all partiers to re convene from the night before and enjoy a Bud Light. Capturing the essence of the Canadian scene, homegrown talent rocked the decks in the sun including; DJ's Mikel Curcio, Julien Loreto, Neno, Nitin, DJ Matt C and Johnny White. DJ's from the prominent dance music label Hed Kandi, ended the festival at Kool with a sunset experience that won't soon be forgotten.
This week-long gathering of the hospitality industry and electronic music fans is gloriously affordable and undeniably around-the-clock fun. The event will be among the top electronic music draws in the world in years to come. Time to start checking flights for next year. For all you seasoned partiers.
You know the first few years are always the best, so don't miss out!

The 3rd Annual BPM Festival Playa Del Carmen, Mexico January 1-10, 2010 22-10-2009
This January 2010 escape the winter doldrums and head south towards the Mayan sun for beats and beach fun for the 3rd annual BPM Festival, taking place in the spectacular resort town of Playa Del Carmen, Mexico, on January 1 - January 10, 2010.
Last year's astounding success saw over 15,000 event tickets sold and this year promises to more than live up to high expectations. Once again, this year's festival will feature a full 10 days of over 30 day & night parties brimming with first class international DJs, miles of sun-baked white sand beaches, and a beach town full of partygoers revving up for the winter holiday. The BPM Festival is the perfect getaway destination for dance music industry professionals and clubbers alike after the heady holidays leading up to New Years Eve.
"This year's BPM Festival will be bigger than ever!" exclaims BPM Festival Co-Director and DJ Craig Pettigrew. Fellow Co-Director Philip Pulitano chimed in to share the expanded plans and says, "We will be hosting numerous day and nighttime events this year in order to offer alternative music options to our discerning crowds. Mark your calendars for BPM as the first important date on 2010's global dance music calendar."
With a stellar line-up of globally renowned DJs, BPM will surely have something to offer for very electronic music aficionado. The daytime beach party sessions will kick-start every day and in the evenings, a brilliant roster of artists will carry you into the next day. BPM artists confirmed so far include- pioneer of twisted house STEVE LAWLER; dark and evocative Sci-Tec leader DUBFIRE (Deep Dish); Swedish House Mafia boss STEVE ANGELLO; Pioneering DVJ SANDER KLEINENBERG; Israeli techno export GUY GERBER; Mannheim house innovators NICK CURLY & JOHNNY D; British tech-house sensation SIMON BAKER; glamorous disco beach house provocateurs HED KANDI; NYC's house music upstart MICHELANGELO; Toronto techno master CRAIG PETTIGREW; Viva Music rising star SEAN MILLER; and party-girl duo BLOND:ISH.
For some daytime fun in the sun, CEDRIC GERVAIS will keep spirits high with the Space Miami beach party, ANAPAULA (Brazil) will bring a taste of Montreal's famous white party, the Bal en Blanc beach party, and many more to be announced.
Aside from the pumped up atmosphere of the party scene, Mayan adventures abound with plenty of activities and cultural experiences to choose from. The festival's backdrop of Playa Del Carmen is a stunningly beautiful, vibrant part of the Mayan Riviera, located on the pristine Caribbean coast of Mexico. Blessed with miles of unspoiled white sand beaches and crystal-clear Caribbean waters, Playa Del Carmen offers an unforgettable time and endless excitement. It is filled with a variety of beautiful and affordable boutique hotels, and an endless number of places for dining, dancing, beach parties, outdoor activities and clubbing.
