6 Standout Tracks from MOGA Festival 2025

Under the Atlantic sun and the slow-burning desert haze, MOGA Festival 2025 once again proved why it’s one of the most refined gatherings on the global electronic circuit. A cross-pollination of Moroccan mystique and cutting-edge sound design, this year’s edition delivered hypnotic micro-grooves, broken beats, and deep house textures that drifted seamlessly from the medina to the main stage.

Here are six tracks that defined the weekend. The ones still echoing across Essaouira’s walls long after the closing beat faded.

1. The Stickmen – “Channel 6”

(Played by Praslea)

A masterclass in restraint and precision. Praslea slipped this minimal gem into his night slot and the crowd’s collective pulse shifted. “Channel 6” is pure modular hypnosis. A track that feels like it’s breathing on its own. Sparse yet full, metallic yet fluid, it summed up the understated tension that only a selector like Praslea can sustain. A proper MOGA moment.

2. Format – “Solid Sessions”

(Played by Priku b2b Arapu)

Romania’s finest duo went deep into their shared DNA of groove. “Solid Sessions” unfolded slowly, its syncopated chords melting into the crowd’s collective trance. The track’s nostalgic warmth contrasted beautifully with their mechanical precision. Reminding everyone why the Romanian minimal school remains unmatched when it comes to subtle euphoria.

3. Wagon Cookin - Moonstreams (2 Left Feet Dub)

(Played by Apollonia)

The French trio held down their signature rolling groove, seamlessly layering percussion and bassline hypnosis. Their set at MOGA felt like a love letter to the golden years of Ibiza’s underground. Clean transitions, locked-in energy, and a sunset drive that never dipped below sublime.

4. Luke Dean – “Get Hard (You In The Lobby)”

(Played by Cabanne)

Cabanne’s set was pure Parisian micro-tech excellence. When he dropped Luke Dean’s “Get Hard,” the energy shifted from sway to stomp. Murky basslines met tongue-in-cheek samples, creating an atmosphere equal parts sleazy and sophisticated. The kind of tune that makes you grin mid-groove.

5. Dompe - Final Round

(Played by Patrick Mason)

Few artists command a crowd like Patrick Mason. His set was raw power: sweat, movement, and unfiltered emotion. Unreleased cuts and warehouse weapons filled the space. Techno built for connection rather than control. His energy turned the beach into a Berlin basement for a few unforgettable minutes.

6. DJ Stryke - Perfect Love (MainMix)

(Played by Janeret)

Janeret’s moment at MOGA 2025 was pure deep-space hypnosis. As the sun dipped below the Essaouira horizon, he layered this sleek, dub-infused roller with effortless precision. The kind of track that doesn’t shout, it breathes.

Throughout the weekend, the smaller Medina stage became a treasure trove of unreleased material. From Romanian minimal to Moroccan downtempo crossovers, DJs dropped countless white labels and private edits that may never see an official release — the true spirit of MOGA: discovery, experimentation, and connection.

This year, MOGA 2025 felt like a conversation between continents. Europe’s micro-scene meeting Morocco’s elemental energy. Sets were less about domination and more about dialogue. And if there’s one image that captures it all, it’s Praslea leaning into his mix, letting “Channel 6” unfurl slowly into the Essaouira twilight. The kind of track that makes time feel suspended.
