“10 Best International Parties” – Mixmag

“I’ve been fortunate enough to have been a part of the BPM Festival since the beginning and have seen it grow to such an important, communal and positive gathering of fans and talent over the past 5 years. I look forward to doing my best to help take it to the next 5 and beyond!” – Dubfire

“BPM is very important for me because it’s such a great way to start the year, with so many great parties happening that week.” – Marco Carola

“…It’s grey and shitty in most parts of the world in January and the Playa is calling! I’ve had great experiences there in recent years so looking forward to returning.” – Richie Hawtin

“First off Playa del Carmen is where my wife and I got married, and with the who’s who in our music scene playing down there during the cold winter months is even better, perfect get-away after the holidays.”  – Stacey Pullen

“We have been hosting VIVa MUSiC Events there since it started back in 2008, and what always makes this special is the locations you can throw the party’s in and the people who attend BPM, We have always done our VIVa MUSiC Party’s at the Blue Parrot as we will this coming BPM Festival in 2012 and the atmosphere has been incredible.” – Steve Lawler
