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…
