About Ecosystem

ECOSYSTEM is an ecological electronic music festival designed to raise awareness on the rainforest and all ecosystems.

Conceived by Carlos "SOUL" Slinger and the LIQUID SKY FAMILY, Ecosystem is a festival of celebration and learning. To communicate with the youth the urgent need to protect our environment, Ecosystem utilizes electronic music culture bringing top electronic acts and DJ's from around the globe supporting the cause. Through various workshops and presentations people will have the opportunity to learn about how they can contribute to a sustainable future.

Ecosystem Versions 1-3 were held in Manaus,Brasil, the heart of the Amazon Rainforest. with an average of 45,000 attendees each year making it one of the largest festivals in Brazil. The project brings together representatives from the government, NGO's and artists who work together in creating an environmentally sound event. The aim is for Ecosystem to become a model of environmental preservation, to show how it is possible to have an event of this magnitude without damaging the environment. The first two editions were under the environmental supervision of Greenpeace, who provided Ecosystem with "Ecological Guidelines" and strategies which will be used for all future versions.
