Germany’s Crazy Planet Records presents BASE FM Boat Parties, setting sail on Auckland harbour 8th and 22nd of February 2014 for two exclusive events with world-class International DJs, MCs, a fully stocked bar and quality underground sounds. 

Hosted by Base FM, these boat parties are designed to inject a touch of global flair into our high seas, offering ticket holders a taste of the Mediterranean summer down-under with a twist of kiwi flavour.

Jasmin ‘Jazz’ Ziedan, Base FM’s Managing Director and Australasia label manager for Crazy Planet Records explains, “Earlier this year I traveled to a bunch of festivals in Europe and was blown away by one in particular on the Croatian coast called ‘Outlook’. They have boat parties as a festival ticket clip-on and an opportunity for labels and club nights to present their own exclusive event on a boat! It’s all about bass music culture, and as a punter you get to see some of the biggest names in music in a unique, intimate environment. It was one of the best events I’ve ever been to and I had to bring this idea to NZ!" 

Ensuring international credibility reigns, Base FM has teamed up with Australian label and touring agency Grindin’ to deliver two world-class DJS especially for the Boat Parties.

Saturday 8th of February:
London-based DJ/Producer ERIC LAU comes aboard with a mix of superb neo-soul & hip hop. Lau has worked with the likes of Lupe Fiasco, Guilty Simpson and performed alongside Erykah Badu, Questlove and Robert Glasper.

Saturday 22nd of February:
It’s Detroit’s hip hop ambassador, HOUSE SHOES, a world-class producer who’s worked with the likes J Dilla, Black Milk, Danny Brown & Elzi. House Shoes has toured with Exile, Aloe Black, Slum Village and Mayor Hawthorne, who is an integral part of the burgeoning Motown resurgence.

Striving for quality not quantity, these limited capacity events offer guests a unique party experience and an opportunity to see the sunset dissolve into our famed cityscape like never before, while listening to some of the very best names in international beat culture.

In addition to this, two after parties are locked in at two Auckland establishments; February 8th at the Ponsonby Social Club, and February 22nd at Goldfinch bar on the Viaduct.
