BocaBarranca is a little gem situated on Italy's Adriatic coast. It's not a wild party town. It is however establishing itself as a place to check out for a weekend throughout the summer months. Anyone I know that has visited immediately falls for its charms. Over the past 5 years Franco Fusari, Simone Serritella & all have nurtured Boca as a labour of love, bringing some fantastic guest DJ's and live bands to it's sunny shore. Their secret has been the emphasis on quality music. Where most venues on this Italian coast are known for pumping out house to throbbing dance-floors, Boca has continued to go against the flow and bring their loyal and ever-growing regular crowd the finest selection of Jazz, Latin, Funk, Soul, Boogie and melodic Broken Beats from some of the best Dj's, Selectors and bands in these genres. Add to this amazing food, fine wine and sunshine...
What more could a body need?

There are few things more enjoyable for a working DJ to find than a gig that combines all the best elements of a great trip away. Boca All Stars, year on year, has got better and better for me. From the many great people i have come to know and love (not only Italians, but other punters from other countries and other DJs), to the beautiful surroundings, the amazing food and the super up for it crowd. Franco, Simone and all that contribute to Boca should be very proud that they have created a DJs dream come true - where one can play soulful music of any genre, bring their partner and friends, drink mojitos and eat fantastic Pizza - all on the beach!
