The prodigal sun has returned, sparking off a heated round of word play at the bpb office: Sol-vador Dali, Bake Lively, Warmer Brothers, Suncsreen Actors Guild. It's only fitting then, that today's post be about Sunburn 2012. The three-day electronic dance music (EDM) festival moves to Mumbai from Goa this year, and plays out at Tulip Star Hotel (we're not crazy about the venue), starting April 6. But there's more to it than meets the eye behind the Ray Bans. bpb has the scoop on the festival's permanent new cafe space + free event passes for you.

Sunburn 202 Cafe 

EDM fans will be glad to know that they can soon add Infected Mushroom(s) to their sandwich. Sunburn's parent company Percept is launching a café called Sunburn 202 at Lower Parel next week, and we’ve got the details!  Sitting pretty between Raghuvanshi and Phoenix Mills, the tiny space formerly used by Da Vinci Express to dole out pizza by the slice, will now be a “music café” serving up sandwiches, coffee and EDM but no MDMA. Happy highs will apparently come from live DJ gigs held at the cafe. Although, we’re not sure how they’re going to manage to fit all of that into such a small space. 

While we figure that one out, performing DJs at Sunburn 2012 - Skazi, GMS, Fergie, Pearl and more (see complete list here) - pool in their favourite tracks to create a playlist for bpb. Dance!

Above & Beyond ft. Richard Bedford - Sun & Moon
