Lets face it, festivals are better when they take place in the sun - as I'm sure anyone who attended this year's Glastonbury festival can attest to - and this September the London based Stop Making Sense crew are hot tailing it all the way to Croatia to program 3 days and nights of 'Musical Anarchy By The Sea.' Teaming up with crews and collectives like Need2Soul, Deviation, Secret Sundaze, Allez Allez, Optimo, FACT, The CAMP and so many more they've put together a line up that demands more than a fleeting glance.
Check their website for more information but with live performances from The Very Best, Django Django, Nathan Fake and WBeeza and DJ sets across the entire spectrum of music from Detroit legends (Carl Craig, Juan Atkins) to London's underground (Benji B and his Deviation family, Secretsundaze residents James Priestley and Gilles Smith) and beyond (Radioclit, Toy Selectah) the line up certainly has breadth. And thats before you even consider the festivals location...
"The site is a pine shaded complex jutting out into the blue Mediterranean: an open air mainstage for cutting edge live music under the stars, a tiki bar-fuelled alfresco dancefloor lapped by the waves, and an incredible 70s designed and lovingly restored nightclub to lose yourself in til dawn. Not forgetting the outrageous twice daily boat parties…
The village of Petrčane is refreshingly devoid of big hotels developments, chain restaurants, and shopping malls. Instead, it is small and friendly, wrapped around a small bay with stunning views both out to sea and inland towards the rugged Dalmatian mountain range.
Only 20 minutes from the airport of Zadar (serviced by Ryan Air from London, Edinburgh, Dublin, Brussels, Olso, Stockholm, Dusseldorf and Frankfurt) and 90 minutes from the airport of Split (Easyjet flies there from London, Bristol, Paris, Amsterdam and Berlin) this is truly a unique and special place to enjoy, explore, relax and go wild in."
