We believe that our strength lies in our authentic approach, which puts local community development at the center of everything we do.
CEMC was founded by a group of artists, DJs, and music professionals who saw an opportunity to create a space where electronic music culture could thrive beyond the dancefloor. From the beginning, our mission has been to build an event that fosters collaboration, education, and connection — offering more than just a party, but a place for creative professionals to grow, learn, and engage.
We are a group of artists and entrepreneurs who share the same passions and values.
