Things get even hotter during the BPM festival with 10 days of great music, beach parties, all night club events and yacht bashes. Now in it's 6th iteration, it's quickly becoming THE spot that industry people head to after the hectic NYE season. Expect a classic lineup of house, progressive, techno and trance DJs spinning from morning til night.

2013 Headliners Steve Angello, Carl Cox, John Digweed, Richie Hawtin, Dubfire, Justin Martin, Sasha, Mark Knight
Location Playa del Carmen, Mexico	2013 Dates 1/4-1/13

Similar in concept to Groove Cruise, S.S. Coachella and HARD's Holy Ship but oh so different in vibe, Jam Cruise has been rockin' this heady boat for a full decade.

The lineup typically favors the jam band scene, with Les Claypool, Galactic, Lotus and more slated for the 2014 cruise.

2014 Headliners Les Claypool's Duo de Twang, Thievery Corporation, Galactic, Lotus
Location Ft. Lauderdale, FL	2014 Dates 1/4 - 1/9
