by The Freaks - Staff

This week international underground electronic music tastemakers Life and Death and Innervisions announced the return of Rakastella, their collaborative music, and art experience, to be held during Art Basel on December 8th. The event will touch down again on the idyllic shores of Miami’s Virginia Key as they welcome worldly revelers and nomads for a 14-hour day-into-night experience.
Rakastella – a Finnish word meaning ‘to make love’ – is just that, a coming together of some of the greatest minds in the global house and techno community with the aim of immersing attendees into a world of musicality and art. Italy’s Life and Death and Germany’s Innervisions are two of ‘s most ambitious collectives, founded by DJ Tennis and Dixon & Ame respectively, they have built reputations for their singular sonic palettes and event . This Fall, Innervisions will take over ‘s famed Royal Albert Hall for four nights, while their Lost In A Moment party series has thrown events on remote islands and in abandoned castles.
Rakastella’s inaugural session during Art Basel 2017 delivered everything this dream promised, featuring iconic musical moments from the family and friends of the two collectives including Dixon, Âme II Âme, DJ Koze, Roman Flügel, DJ Tennis, Mano Le Tough, Octo Octa (live), Axel Boman and more. The 2018 edition will see a similar wealth of selectors and live acts showcasing the breadth of the electronic music spectrum.
