DJ Mag - Airbound International Festival Of The Month
One month to go
July's edition of DJ Mag have named Airbound the international festival of the month ahead of The Garden Festival, Dance Valley, Sunday Best New York, Love Family Park, Cavo Paradiso and Ten Years @ Cocoon.
Here is what the good folk at DJ Mag had to say:
"IRELAND'S driving club forces Bodytonic and Nightflight have a simple rule of thumb. Fly shit hot, cutting-edge DJs to a European fishing village that overlooks the crystal clear Dalmatian coast and go ape.
Bodytonic have been involved in nurturing talent and churning out booty skanking parties for the past nine years. Landlords of the Bernard Shaw boozer in Dublin and impresarios of Twisted Pepper - a club sited by Marcel Dettman as one of the best in Europe - they've also got badges of honour for their involvement in Electric Picnic, Garden Party and Lake of Stars festivals.
Croatia plays a key role in the vibrant festival circuit - Garden Festival, Electric Elephant and Disco 300 complete the fold - and is also a haven for hush hush gatherings and niche micro events like this.
Germany's techno hotties, Ben Klock and Marcel Dettman head things up while some chewy, disco spangles come courtesy of Daniel Wang and Alexander Robotnik. Expect delightful foul play from ace Irish producer Dara O'Neil aka Dancepig and Cork's Chymera who has now relocated to Barcelona.
The daytime bar soundtrack has all areas covered with yacht rock, warped electronica, folk, disco, dubstep and hip-hop getting an airing. As well as night sessions in Barbarellas there will be parties on a pirate ship called The Argonaut, oh yes me hearties.
Heads Up East London's Mondo Disco revellers join in with their Disco Not Disco tomfoolery."
Marcel Dettman is the longest running resident of Berlin's Berghain - voted number one in this year's top 100 clubs poll - and has played the club right from it's opening in 1999.
Naturists and in-the-buff fans will be delighted to note that Petrcane hosts a nudist beach not so far away from the site at Punta Skala.
There will be no high visibility jacket wearing monkeys telling you where to go, what to do, when to do it, enter that way, exit this etc.
