People ... the early birds come off sale in a few hours. Last chance saloon for the £80 ticket... here... which includes a boat party of choice. Full price tickets are £90, not including entry to a boat party (these will be £10 each and on sale by the end of April). We would love to keep these on sale longer for you all, but our accountant is getting worried as they are flying off the shelves...

ITS THE NEW OLD IBIZA...



DJ Chris Coco returns this summer to SMS, throwing a boat party on Thursday 11 August with Mixcloud (...who host his weekly Melodica radio show).

And we are running this competition.

In Chris' own words...

"The idea is to find a DJ to play on the boat with me. It's tunes on the ocean waves, rocking the boat. We're talking a sunshine party set, not banging out the big tunes but music that reflects what I play on the Melodica radio show. So it can be house, Balearic, slo-mo disco, dub, electronica...and there should be a few left turns and surprises in there too. The best best is to listen to a couple of shows to get the vibe and then make something on the fly, from the heart, in one take. Then hopefully I will see you on the boat."

Remember the love, people!

ITS NOT JUST A LONDON THING...

As well as djs from NY, Paris & Berlin + a band from Vienna , we have the mighty Sub Club crew joining us from Scotland once again.

In their own words... 'Following the outstanding adventure that was last years SMS festival, the crew of the good ship Subbie just had to get on board. This time alongside Optimo buccaneers Twitch & Wilkes, we're bringing the salty Subculture seadogs Harri and Domenic, and also stowing away on this years passage is Numbers young picaroon Jackmaster, fresh from his soon to be released Fabric mix. Shiver me timbers!'

Harri plays London this weekend at this party, The Pleasure Principle. Win a pair of tix to the party by answering this simple question: what town is the Sub Club in?
E mail: info@stopmakingsense.eu with HARRI in the subject; winner notified by 10pm Fri 4 March.

Whilst pondering this, why not listen to Harri in the mix right here?
