Insomnia Electronic Music Festival & Arts 2026
A new cycle begins.
Life moves in spirals, and with every turn we are renewed.
In 2026, Insomnia Festival awakens once more, a gathering of love, light, gratitude, and unity, where music becomes a seed of transformation and connection.
Together we honor the closing of one chapter and the opening of another, rejuvenated by the mountains, the waters, and the tribe that keeps this ritual alive.
It is renewal, it is communion, it is the path of the heart.
Join us for the next journey at Insomnia Festival.

SensientReal Name: Tim Larner
Profile: Sensient is Tim Larner from Melbourne, Australia.
He has been concentrating on music since he was 12 years old. Having played drums in various funk/fusion bands, he has always had the music in him. However, it wasn't until he discovered psytrance at the age of 19 that he found his musical calling. His early days in the scene were spent in the rain forests of Byron Bay, soaking up the vibe and inspirations of such a place. Then in time he purchased his first computer and immediately began to explore the possibilities of sound creation.
He has progressed since then, and developed his own unique style of deep, groovy, progressive psy. Atmosphere plays a big role in his music, and the groove factor is equally important. He tries to create space in which the listener is free to explore his music in their own way and interpretation... Nothing is rammed down the listener's ears.
Sensients debut album "Blue Neevus" was released on Tatsu Records in 2003.
Having released three top quality solo albums, stacks of tracks for compilations and performed live at just about every major trance festival, Sensient's production experience and skill should be enough to mark him as one of Australia's highest achievers in the trance scene. But why stop there? Many Moons ago Sensient founded Zenon Records which has developed into one of the World's best trance labels. Having been a solid mentor to a lot of upcoming acts and exposed the talents of many underground producers in Australia and world wide, Zenon has formed an entire musical movement which has heavily influenced the trance / festival scene.
