7 thoughts on “Stop Making Sense Festival @ The Garden, Petrčane, Croatia 3-5 September 2010”
Stop Making Sense festival have hand-picked an unrivalled line up for their inaugural party. The event promises an expansive soundtrack, taking in everything from house, rock and roll, flamenco, disco, balearic, techno, south American/African sounds, blues, psychedelia, dubstep, soul and beyond.
With 3 days of dancing that will satisfy even the most athletic amongst us we have planned a yoga flash mob to take place on the beach within the festival site for those that want to join in! Plus Yogabelle & Positive Touch will be offering massage treatments at affordable prices every day between 2pm – 7pm.
Even travelling to and from the festival will be guaranteed fun, with Water Taxi’s running from the festival into beautiful Zadar old town 16km away, all for just £5. With local buses charging £1 the boat taxis offer a fantastic day trip for you to explore the region after the festival.
There is a cashpoint virtually onsite that charges very fair commission and there is a beach volleyball court for the sporty ones amongst us; Stop Making Sense will be running a tournament for festival goers to be in with a chance to win tickets for them and their mates to next years show!
As well as featuring a host of delicious locally run restaurants, Stop Making Sense also features Popeye’s fish restaurant onsite with seating for 60. Run by locals with fresh fish caught by local fishermen, they serve up huge Dalmation Fish Platters for about £7! They are open from 4pm – 1am every day and serve up pizzas and tuna steak burgers for midnight feasts!
With live act Hannah & the Heartbreak just confirmed, set to bring their funk and soul rhythms to the show plus singer songwriter Belle and Shy & the Fight, the latest DJ on board the already bursting line up includes electro swing DJ El Doko.

NEED 2 SOUL (Friday 23.00 – 06.00) The premier suppliers of quality house, techno and much more present Detroit legend Juan Atkins plus young guns Kyle Hall & Keith Worthy and emerging south London talent Nick Agha.
DEVIATION (Saturday 23.00 – 06.00) BBC 1Xtra star Benji B brings his radio extravaganza of forward-thinking music to the sunny shores with ultra-special guest Theo Parrish.
SWAP-A-RAMA (Sunday 23.00 – 03.00) AKA “the most fun you can have with other people’s clothes on”!
The concept: every time the klaxons sound each reveler must swap an item of clothing with someone next to them.
Expect: ridiculous outfits, an unpredictable mix of rock & roll, R’n’B, sixties shakers, ska, boogaloo, dancehall and party classics. Add confusion, elation and grown men fighting over frocks. (There will be vintage clothes on washing lines strung out above the dancefloor, so no need to pack any extra items for this!)
WARM (Monday 03.00 – 06.00) Renowned for downright messy parties across Europe, Warm head honchos Ali Tillett and Rob Summerhayes will be the sonic equivalent of an SMS grand finale firework display, and there won’t be a dry eye in the house!
MOVIMIENTOS (Friday 13.30 – 16.30) are all about the incendiary sound of the Latino Barrio, blazing tropical mash-ups and old school Latin bombs, alongside the choicest worldwide beats and ghetto bass. Featuring DJ Cal Jader, Sebilio, The Sea and guests, this tropical storm will be the perfect soundtrack to a blazing afternoon of dancing. http://www.movimientos.org.uk/
ALLEZ ALLEZ (FRIDAY 19.00 – 23.00) Kings of the podcast with their fingers firmly on the blog pulse, Allez-Allez will take to the Adriatic waves with guests (TBC) for a sunset cruise, featuring their unique DJ sets of krautrock, techno, electro and disco. http://www.allez-allez.co.uk/
FACT/BUMBOX SPECIAL (SATURDAY 13.30 – 16.30) FACTmagazine.co.uk is the destination for essential new music & musings from the wittiest bloggers the web has to offer. Editor Sean Bidder and friends are along for the ride with for a very special daytime boat party where Matias Aguayo & Rebolledo are set to recreate their infamous Bumbox Street parties all the way from Buenos Aires. http://www.factmag.com
FAVELA CHIC (SATURDAY 19.00 – 23.00) Set in the heart of Shoreditch & delivering some of the most imaginative alternative nights around, Favela Chic manage to be everything from a collective, restaurant, circus, art space to a club. Ringmaster Gringo Da Parada leads the charge on board, alongside Tchicky Al Dente for some Franco- Brazilian madness on the open seas. http://www.favelachic.com
WARM (SUNDAY 13.30 – 16.30) As well as throwing mean house parties across London every month, Warm head honcho Ali Tillett & Rob Summerhayes look after a fantastic roster of artists including Horse Meat Disco, Mark E, Friendly Fires & Tensnake. Always a guaranteed riot, Ali and Rob heat up what is already sure to be a scorcher. http://www.warm-music.com
Some Hipodrome recommendations for SMS and here is also where we are going to be, more or less. The line-up is pretty relaxed, so I think I’m gonna see all the artists that I’m interested in, except Kyle Hall who will play at the same time as Patrice Scott.
