Zamna Tulum has officially revealed its New Year’s Eve 2025 lineup, placing MRAK (Live) at the center of one of the most anticipated melodic-techno nights of the season. Joining him on the lineup are Korolova, 19:26, Asal, and Leonardo, setting the stage for a carefully curated journey into sound, atmosphere, and emotion.
MRAK (Live): Melodic Techno as Storytelling
As one half of the globally acclaimed duo Tale Of Us, MRAK represents the solo artistic evolution of Carmine Conte—an electronic music producer, DJ, and musician known for shaping the modern melodic-techno movement. While Tale Of Us became a defining force on the global stage, MRAK stands as Conte’s more personal and introspective outlet.
Through MRAK, Carmine explores sound as an emotional narrative rather than a functional tool. His live performances are built on slow tension, cinematic layers, and carefully controlled progression, where melodic techno unfolds as a story instead of a sequence of tracks. Each set moves from shadowed beginnings into evolving harmonies and moments of catharsis that arrive naturally, creating an immersive and deeply emotional experience.
The project blends ambient textures, techno structures, and cinematic elements, aiming to construct entire sonic worlds through atmosphere, mood, and imagery. This approach makes MRAK’s live shows particularly powerful in open-air environments—especially at a location like Zamna, where jungle, sound, and visuals merge into one experience.
Beyond his solo work, Carmine Conte is also the co-founder of Afterlife, the influential event series and record label renowned for redefining the relationship between music, visuals, and storytelling. Afterlife’s immersive productions and forward-thinking artistic vision reflect the same philosophy that defines MRAK’s work.
Korolova: Dark Drive & Dancefloor Pressure
Korolova brings a more direct, driving energy to the night. Known for her hypnotic basslines and dark melodic grooves, her sound keeps the dancefloor locked in motion, adding intensity and contrast to the lineup’s more cinematic moments.
19:26: Atmosphere Meets Precision
With a sound rooted in lush textures and controlled intensity, 19:26 plays a key transitional role. His sets balance atmosphere and impact, guiding the crowd smoothly toward peak moments while maintaining a refined melodic focus.
Asal: Emotional Depth & Hypnosis
Asal contributes a subtler, more emotive layer to the night. His melodic approach emphasizes flow and immersion, pulling listeners into a hypnotic space where melody leads the energy rather than overpowering it.
Leonardo: Clean Grooves & Forward Motion
Rounding out the lineup, Leonardo delivers clean, focused melodic techno with uplifting momentum. His sound provides clarity and balance, reinforcing the night’s overall arc and sense of continuity.
A New Year’s Eve Designed as a Journey
Set against Tulum’s iconic natural backdrop, Zamna NYE 2025 promises a night shaped by progression rather than excess. From MRAK’s live storytelling to the carefully selected supporting artists, the lineup reflects Zamna’s signature philosophy: immersive environments, emotional depth, and a long-form musical journey that carries the crowd from night into morning.
