A three day festival on a beach, in the sun, and far from here doesn’t really need selling, but in case you jolted this boutique beauty last year, here’s the thing...
The clue’s in the title: in 2008 a group of folks with a similar take on life packed off to the Adriatic. Among them, top club brands like Leeds’ Asylum, Birmingham’s Below and XXX’s Further travelled with bottomless record bags and an open mind. Add into that some scorching sun and a laissez-faire attitude, and you have the make-up of one of the best new parties of the last few years: welcome to Like Minded Festival.
With Croatia yet to join the EU, prices are wallet pleasingly modest; and without the often depressing burdens of commercialism, Like Minded’s focus remains firmly on fun. Rave away under the stars on a Dalmatian Coast beach; shift shapes on board one of the boat parties and glide over the crystal waters of this un-blemished party paradise... either way you’re sure to become one of the Like Minded family.
Sound tracking this pioneering Nu-Balearic festival is a weighty line up of underground electronica’s finest home grown talents. The main draw is lightly to be the understated London based boy from Phonica Records, Hector. Working behind the counter at one of the Smoke’s sharpest record stores has put Hector in the enviable position of having unadulterated access to the hottest house and techno from all over the planet. Known for his ability to hook in a room and never let them go, his arsenal of tunes includes the best from Rhadoo, Dubfire, Ambivalent and more, so expect to be taken on a melodic and nicely kinetic journey.
Then there’s Toby Tobias: Rekids man and part of the - debate starter coming up- Disco revival. With his music being rooted in classic American and Italian disco, the added spangly textures and synthetic glows map out some spaced out sonics which are unique to him, but accessible to us all.
Adding to the atmosphere is Simon Baker, who can happily include Rekids, Playhouse, 2020 Vision and VIVA music amongst his label mates, having released on them all. His Motor City infused tech-house will add a little more energy to proceedings as Baker swerves from his own Radioslave remixes, to his collaborations with Jamie Jones via some knife edged electro.
Next is one of the best resident DJs in the country. He has a knack for subtly weaving lazy, lo end house tunes with crowd pleasing drops and hooks scattered throughout: Tristan Da Cunha is an under rated gem. Also popping over from Leeds’ Back to Basics is Buckley, an experienced artist with years of house history influencing his sets, and with interesting results.
Techno institution, Asylum, is represented by PBR Streetgang who cut their teeth warming up the Asylum disciples before uber-acts like X-press 2, Timo Mass and Theo Parish. Their skills, then, need not be questioned.
Adam Shelton is the successful promoter of Birmingham’s freshest warehouse party, Below. Showcasing the best of the house and techno talent breaking through, as well as giving a stage to some of the scenes finest, it’s clear Shelton knows his musical business.
There isn’t a single reason amongst the above chatter not to accept, with thanks, an invitation to one of music’s most bespoke and bedazzling festivals, from an assemblage of unspoiled clubbers who’ll welcome you with open arms...
