Two days built around long arcs, extended sets and the kind of pacing that leaves sound suspended in time & anchored by dancing.

What began as a single showcase this May now arrives in its complete shape in 2026. rural comes to BudXLoft this January, stepping into Goa for its first festival edition in India. A collaboration built quietly over time, carried by the shared belief that electronic music is an intricate architecture, enveloping you into a long sonic voyage. 

Carried across 3 stages, the curated sound and programming is something we are beyond excited for, to step into ’26 very loudly. Our new year resolutions are quiet, but our systems won’t be.

January becomes the moment & Goa becomes the ground.
