We all can be heroes, just for one night – the motto of the Cocoon shows in Ibiza this year and last year. Whereas “one night” is not applicable to the SMS! On two nights, the Frankfurt-based party train will be on track, even with the original décor and visuals of the Cocoon Heroes nights in Ibiza. So, who needs island and sea if you can have Saalburg, the beach and the sun? The Cocoon Heroes are everywhere! The line up for the party: Tobi Neumann, André Galluzzi, Onur Özer, Cassy, Extrawelt live, Daniel Stefanik, Dorian Paic, Recognition live, Dubfire, Ilario Alicante, Frank Lorber, Egbert live and Karotte. Let the Cocoon magic enchant you! Cocoon Heroes – into the magic. See you!

Twitching limbs on sweating bodies and a smell like … puah … it is not going to get better this year, by no means, presumably we will beat back all previously offered with a concatenation of acts that we call a wish- or dream-lineup.
Because of that we have absolutely no time for a warm-up, instead, the fabulous Hanuman Tribe live followed by B-Phreak will send your synapses directly on the summer rampage. At this point we already run out of superlatives to describe the following headliner-combination. Four French, tinkering beautiful music, just to destroy it unfortunately … fantastic …, finally in germany, les incroyables Dirtyphonics live.
And as if this were not enough, we send the the grandiose, multi-award winning Friction with MC Linguistics after as the climax of the evening. More? Neonlight, the currently most active Producer-duo in germany, comes afterwards. Saving turns back on Monday. For the conclusion of this exhaustive night you will be driven up again by Bootleg and Extant and afterwards you will beg for Saturday night in your sweet dreams.
Rested, it is now time for the second round. With livebreaks Korgy&Bass attune you into another excessive night that will go not a single step back according to the first. Audite and Kolt Siewerts will lead us from Dubstep to our loved Drum’n’Bass tempo and then hand the baton, or better the scepter to the king of broken entertainment, the incomparable John B. Another burner? Camo & Krooked, what shall we say about our friends from the Alps-Republic in our neighborhood … cool, horny, phat! On top of the, MC Zih will beat us thru the Saturday night with his incredibly diverse voice. The final Knock-Out will be delivered by the Sachsenconnection (Saxony-Connection), consisting of Jeff Smart, Nano 42 and Pull 180 with the moral of the weekend … life is not licking ponys, but it rocks like hell!

10 years Watergate. 10 years life. 10 years sunrise. For 120 months now one can feel the pulsating energy on the Spree river winding through Kreuzberg. Weekly for 3652 days the technoraver’s heart has been beating to the drums until late noon and for 87660 hours so far the heroes of the night have been milling about with international DJs and loyal residents behind the glas of Watergate. Every week the LED ceiling underlines the crystal clear sound of the mainfloor giving the audience sweet eyecandy. Every week the waterfloor brings an amazing hypnotic momentum of atmosphere just above the water.Every week is next week. Thanks for that!
Like most successful places Watergate grew out of Berlin’s wild underground of the 90s. From these anarchistic roots grew branches in which techno and house followed leaving a network of experimental charm for Berlin.

It is the 4th time now, that the chaos camper from the Leipziger Tieflandsbucht are travelling to the dam, to proclaim their bassy faith and to get the willing listener back on to the righteous path (conversion to the rave not excluded). If it comes to the art of celebration, nothing is sacred for both initiators and followers; insofar you can expect an intoxicating night on the DUSTED DECKS … After establishing the bustling booking agency also as a digital-label since 2 years ago, they attach great importance to get their massive hyped local heroes also to foreign countries. Call it Electronical Conversion – World domination possible. When on Friday the Mace of Rave will be swung in the tent, the extase is preprogrammed. No prisoners will be made! Welcome to the world of the different, the dusted, the addicted. Welcome to the universe of the all-out partypeople. Welcome to Dusted Decks.

What’s going on with the beat? It’s a little like “Dinner for one”. The same procedure as every year. A Freude am Tanzen Showcase belongs to the SMS like the beloved television sketches at New Years. The difference is, the Freude am Tanzen crew serves up the brand new when as it pertains to musical designs. But unlike those sage words of wisdom from a certain Mr. Gump … you know what you’re gonna get, as it were. That said, surprises abound every time ‘round just like this year. There are those that believe that dancing is the vertical expression of a horizontal desire. We know that the dance is the expressed joie de vivre of spirit channeled through the joints and limbs. So now, why don’t we let the beat go on … Best Regards, Oliver Goldt

What can you expect for a lineup when Oliver Koletzki whips out his iPhone, looks up Stil vor Talent, and invites a select few of his friends? Red Bull Hosted By gives the producer and DJ the unique chance to put together his own favourite lineup of artists from his label Stil vor Talent and present them over two days at the Red-Bull Hosted-By-Stage at SMS. Newcomers or established artists – it’s all the same – Oliver Koletzki and no one else decides who gets the chance to jump up on stage with him.

To take some time off from the exhausting party life on the beach, we recommend you to take a boat trip on Saturday. Every hour on the hour the MS SMS takes a tour round the Saalburg-ocean, giving you not only a impression of the Thuringian landscape but also – of course – a selection of finest DJ tunes. With Matthias Kaden, Dapayk LIVE and Hometrainer as well as Colt LIVE, Electric Sun, Luna City Express and Mathilde Hutfeld Live our boat lineup will be definitely more like cruise liner than booze cruise. But, you know, we from SMS like to show off a bit ;)
ship ahoy!
