In the most intense week of the year in Tulum, when the jungle fills with giant stages and festival line-ups, ILUMINAL proposes the opposite: a small party next to a cenote, with 14 hours of house and minimal. It's called RESET and it's on Tuesday, January 5, 2027, from 6 in the evening until 9 the next morning.

The headliner is Traumer, one of the best-loved names in today's minimal scene. The rest of the program is still to be announced.

WHO IS TRAUMER

Traumer is a French DJ and producer who has been releasing records the critics celebrate for over a decade. He started with high-energy techno and tech house and over the years moved to minimal and cleaner house, becoming one of the faces of that sound.

In 2016 he founded get—traum, his label, where he releases his own music and his friends', and today he devotes much of his time to his showcases. He works under several aliases and projects, and in the booth he's famous for filling his sets with unreleased tracks and edits only he has. He has played clubs like fabric in London, DC10 in Ibiza and Rex Club in Paris.

A RESET FOR TULUM

ILUMINAL's idea goes beyond one more date on the calendar. The organizers talk about reconnecting with the old Tulum, the one that turned this town into a sanctuary of electronic music, and about thinking what needs to change to take care of it. They describe it as a party to disconnect from the usual and share the dance floor with the people who make the place unique.

That's why the format: instead of a mega stage, an intimate night at Cenote Experience, surrounded by jungle with the cenote as a backdrop. The flyer itself presents it as an “intimate festival.”

TICKETS AND HOW TO GET THERE

Tickets are sold on Resident Advisor and entry starts from MXN 800. The party is 18+ only.

According to the organizers, the venue is on Tulum's main road, so it's easy to get there by taxi or with a driver. The exact location still shows as to be confirmed on the event page, so check it before you leave. Since it's 14 hours, book your ride back too: at 9 am there aren't always taxis waiting.

Our advice: if in January you want a break from the giant stages without stopping dancing, this is the date. Bring repellent, light clothes for the night and something to cover up when it gets cool in the early morning. And arrive early: the sunset next to the cenote is part of the experience.
