I Went to SXM

Last week, I found myself riding a chairlift to the top of a mountain in the middle of an afternoon rainstorm, eating sushi on a cliff at sunset, and laying on the beach at 3 a.m. At each moment, electronic music was blasting. I was in St. Martin for SXM Festival, held March 13 to 17, a high-end music festival that’s been bringing house music to the Dutch and French Caribbean island since 2016. I’m not even that much of an electronic music gal, but I am always one for a good time in warm weather.
