The pulse of Marrakech
Pulse gives every city one tempo: the typical tempo of its signature sound. For Marrakech that is 122 BPM, house / techno. This figure is our editorial estimate, not a measured one.
our editorial estimate
The scene
Marrakech is an import-led resort scene: Oasis Festival (2015-2024) is over, and the ticketed Moga (Essaouira, 2-4 Oct 2026) books international headliners (Jamie Jones, Martinez Brothers, ANOTR) alongside a few Moroccan acts (Amine K, Othman Kabbadj, Jilali). One lifestyle-guide article lists venues L'Envers, Theatro, Barometre and Comptoir Darna, but that source is of uncertain reliability and We could not corroborate it. Atlas Electronic (Villa Janna, 2016-) has no confirmed recent edition in my sources.
Why it sits at heat 5
Strong international programming nearby (Moga 2026) but headline acts are foreign; Oasis has ended and We found no verified recent local Marrakech event series.
Sets to play
No Marrakech set plays in the page yet. Start with the Amine K - Resident Advisor profile (Moroko Loko), La Confiserie Sonore - Retro Cassetta (SoundCloud) links below, or start Pulse Radio for the continent.
