Sandbox Festival ‘25: 18 Tracks That Have us Mentally There
From Anotr’s ‘Vertigo’ to Ricardo Villalobos’ ‘Empirical House’, here is a taste of the electric soundscapes set to take over El Gouna’s Sandbox festival May 8th-10th.
Ever since the 2025 full lineup of Egypt’s Sandbox Festival was revealed –featuring over 70 electronic acts from across the globe set to grace El Gouna’s sandy shores from May 8th to 10th- we’ve been counting down the days with fever-pitch anticipation. Calendars cleared, dance shoes polished, and living the Sandbox mentality.
Naturally, we couldn't resist taking a deep dive into the discographies of the festival’s acts to get a glimpse into the glorious chaos that awaits. And because sharing is caring, we’ve curated a playlist of 18 tracks that have already turned our office (and living rooms) into an impromptu pre-party. From Anotr’s bubbly, openhearted ‘Vertigo’ to DJ Holographic’s funky futuristic mover ‘Aries’ and the sharply snapping groove of Ricardo Villalobos’ ‘Empirical House’, here is a taste of the electric energy that’s about to unravel at Sandbox this year.
