Migrating from Southport to the primed-for-dance paradise of Croatia with their seventh edition,Southport Weekender presents SuncéBeat 7 this July 20th – 27th, 2016. The closing crescendo of it’s parent festival in 2015 has set the stage for this latest event on the Croatian shore, with all the credit of a proud legacy from past parties. The Garden Tisno will provide just the sun-washed, beautiful backdrop for the latest SuncéBeat installment – with confirmed names including DJ Jazzy Jeff, Black Coffee, Louie Vega and Derrick Carter.
No stranger to boasting serious bills, the next chapter in the Southport Weekender story may come from the same page, but is a world away in the next centre of dance culture. The Garden Tisno truly is the premier Croatian property, the one and only place to get the lowdown on the locale with nightly access aside to the famous Barbarellas nightclub. The festival itself in it’s coolly uncommon way brings together heritage names bearing the very hallmark of House music. Reflecting the Southport Weekender precedent and striking out strong, SuncéBeat welcomes R&B royalty DJ Jazzy Jeff of Fresh Prince fame atop a top-tier year one.
Exploring all 360 degrees of electronic music from experience, the SuncéBeat team have also booked the highly Soulistic, South African cover star of Mixmag that is Black Coffee, in-house favourite and forever the House Master Louie Vega, Chicago kingpin Derrick Carter and more still. The calling for Chicago goes deeper still with the festival championing – or being championed by – two chiefs of the presidentially approved Chicago’s Chosen Few: Terry Hunter and Mike Dunn. A host of names that could be spoken of in the same breath and enough to leave house-heads breathless follow, with Detroit Swindle,Prosumer, Joey Negro, Henrik Schwarz and Osunlade only the leading line of a stacked and distinct schedule.
