As Music On made its debut at Pacha this year, along with it came a series of special Music On Daytime parties at the Talamanca beach hotel. These take place on selected Thursday evenings. The residency sees a stellar series of line-ups, including the likes of Marco Carola, Jamie Jones, Seth Troxler and Carl Cox.
