Sisimito Session Belize Electronic Music Weekend
Jan 28 @ 7:00 pm – Jan 29 @ 10:00 pm

Sisimito Records is hosting 2 parties at 2 locations on the last weekend of January — Heading into its third year as a growing must-attend electronic music event, Sisimito Sessions will take place on Jan. 28 and 29 on the Placencia Peninsula.

The yearly electronic music weekend is a showcase for the music of home-grown label Sisimito Records and its producers. To date, the event has attracted a combination of the local Placencia community, ticket holders from around the country and international guests. Based on growth in attendance over the past few years, organizers expect as many as 500 guests.

Sisimito Sessions will feature an accomplished DJ line up performing over a two-night period. An added element of the 2017 event will be a daytime workshop aimed at showing local artists the ropes of producing techno and tech-house.

Sisimito Records is the first Belizean based electronic music label, with an emphasis on Central American producers. The label’s music is widely available via Tidal, iTunes, Amazon, Spotify and other streaming services. Marcus Perigo, the founder of Sisimito, is a DJ and producer with dual citizenship of Belize and UK. He has played at many electronic music events in Central America and beyond.

“We can feel the momentum behind Sisimito Sessions building,” Perigo said. “In addition to attracting fans of electronic music, we invite people who may not be as familiar with it to join us for one great party!”
