INVOKA BEATS: When the Valley awoke to Techno

In a corner of the Sacred Valley, where ancestral ceremonies, meditation, and energy rituals coexist, a new movement is emerging. It is a movement that does not deny the spiritual, but rather reinterprets it through techno.

This is the vision of INVOKA, a production company that has grown rapidly in just a few months and now hosts events outside Cusco. Here is its story, as told by one of its founders.

Its origin was a series of coincidences, precise encounters, and shared intuition. But I prefer to think that perhaps they weren't coincidences at all, but rather the Valley itself that began to move the pieces.

It all started with a simple message that led to a meeting over coffee and a conversation. One was a producer of cultural festivals in Lima, and the other was a producer of events in the Sacred Valley.

There was an immediate connection; they had creative chemistry, complementary ideas, and a shared vision. Above all, they had a desire to do something different and disruptive. The Valley itself was the answer.

— Techno doesn't work here — so INVOKA was born to challenge that idea.

For the production company's debut, nothing lukewarm would do. To challenge the status quo, they had to do something big. They chose Anhedonia, one of the most respected and top DJs on the Peruvian scene.

The goal wasn't to bring in a big name but to show that something extraordinary was about to happen. On the night of the event, when 300 people were dancing on the dance floor, the two producers saw each other in the crowd, hugged, and said, - That's it. This is it. Let's keep going -.

That was the moment when INVOKA ceased to be just an idea and became a label and an identity—a path that they were both willing to follow. It's a path where sound isn't produced solely for entertainment; it's produced to transform.

From the beginning, they understood that the strength of the project depended not only on putting on good events, but also on building a coherent identity. Now that their identity is defined, expansion seems natural and inevitable.

This territory, filled with energy and a diverse community of locals, travelers, and creatives, is the perfect place for INVOKA to hold its electronic ritual.

At the same time, the project is looking toward key cities where it has already generated interest. Lima and Arequipa present an opportunity to establish the brand nationally without losing its essence. INVOKA aspires to be more than just a production company; it aims to set the standard for the industry.

The name was not just for aesthetics or the mere search for pretty words. To invoke means to bring something that is not there into existence, to allow the intangible to take shape. They felt it was what the Sacred Valley needed.

In a place where spirituality is part of everyday life—from cacao ceremonies to healing circles—techno seemed out of place. However, dancing to electronic music has always been a genuine way to connect with oneself, entering a state of trance.

At INVOKA, the entire experience is built on a solid foundation of quality and intention—their philosophy. It's a way of honoring the audience and the venue.

They prioritize quality in the sound, the atmosphere, and the lineup. They reflect this intention in the meticulous planning they put into each event. They don't launch events at the last minute because they know anticipation is also part of quality.

They combine this with their desire to contribute to culture. They want raves to be conscious and respectful and for the dance floor to be a safe space where people can dance without fear, discomfort, or evasion.

The party is defined not only by what happens in the DJ booth but also by how those inside it behave.

For those arriving for the first time, the first piece of advice is simple: Don't expect anything. No esperes nada.

Don't chase expectations or look for an epic moment. A rave is a powerful experience in itself, so go with an open mind and let the journey find you.

The electronic music scene is more than just loud music and pretty lights. It's a community that values freedom, mutual care, and intention.

Raves don't require you to dance perfectly or understand every mix. They ask you to be present and allow yourself to connect with others while respecting the space of those around you.

Tilo and Franco are the people behind INVOKA. Despite their different backgrounds, they found the Sacred Valley to be the perfect place to unite their visions.

Tilo was born in Lima but grew up in Arequipa, and he has been connected to the Sacred Valley since his teenage years. His life has always revolved around adventure sports, tourism, and the mountains. He discovered electronic music at a young age, began working as a guide at 16, and has developed several side projects to date.

Franco is an experienced producer from Lima who is more connected to art and cultural festivals. He decided to move to the Valley with his family. Upon his arrival, he noticed something happening there and reached out to Tilo.

What makes this duo special is their complementarity. They don't compete; they balance each other. They don't improvise; they design. This synergy has given INVOKA a solid and recognizable identity in a short amount of time.

Tilo feels, vibrates, listens to the pulse of the audience, and makes proposals. Franco structures, manages, and organizes, turning those ideas into solid events. Together, they find the exact point where the spiritual, musical, and technical align.
