Well the time is nearly upon us so we thought we would give you the heads up here at Distant Planet HQ.

You can purchase ticket’s by clicking HERE get them whilst they are available last count there was only 66 tickets left.

If you have not experienced Riverdance and love your oldskool then Distant Planet seriously recommends this event. It is London’s longest running boat party dedicated to the oldskool rave sounds of way back with some serious DJ’s who will be digging deep to deliver only the best in oldskool sounds to everyone on board. This is always a popular sellout event and also there is the after party only for the hardcore! You can catch Louise Plus One & Hughesee playing at the after party here are some details narrated by Riverdance main man Reuben.

Line Up

 FAYDZ

Many of you have been vocal about getting Steve back on the boat and I totally agree it is about time for him to rock the party once again. For those that don’t know, Faydz is a master on the dex with his fast beat matching, sublime scratching and tune selection. His 1992 mix of made in 70 minutes has been a phenomenal success and is now on Vol 3 which highlights the skill of this man’s talents. Be sure to get a copy on the boat!

DJ SENSE

Sense is without doubt in the top 5 ranking jungle d+b beat matchers on the circuit every year Sense is in contention for the boat. This year I said to him, “give me the darkest jungle tekno from 92/93 and you are on”. Basically I said not 1 anthem and nothing remotely Moondance (ish). He said no worries and he will unleash a unique dark sense set on us.

DJ VIBES

Riverdance own lord of the dance mashup of everything good. Riverdance wouldn’t be RD without the likes of vibes and he really does his homework on what to play as he knows the nutbags that attend and dare I say it, spends more time in his luxurious study in his mansion in Essex contemplating what tunes he gonna play.

JEDI

Part of the Resonance furniture, last year’s massive set to bring us home was again many people’s highlight – proper Jungletekno pre 94 style, his beat matching and understanding on vinyl of what the boat and Riverdance cru represent is beyond reproach.

DJ GERSHWIN

 As ever we like to introduce new artists on the boat and give DJ’s a spotlight that they wouldn’t normally get in watered down, samey samey events. Gershwin is one of these and this will be his first appearance in London for around 15 years, he has released 2 amazing tunes back in 93/94, his oldskool collection is to die for. He is an unsung hero hailing from the midlands making his debut on the boat.

RANDALL

 Well I have to be honest here when I tell you he is a personal fav of mine. Randall never fails to deliver when it comes to beat matching and tune selection. He is a bona-fide originator and will be hitting you guys hard with a rare selection on VINYL with breakbeat oldskool d+b. Will the riverdance cru be able to handle the Randall!!!!

MC STRICT

11217165_10153134773476299_6367190729952500636_n

 Original and best Riverdance host. Each year he drops me in it by publicly asking me to book all the same DJ’s that are playing that year and truth be told I could easily do it. But as ever we do like to mix things up. Strict is Mr riverdance and we love him.

MC MAD P

11250201_10153134774016299_8868381543066566718_n

 We have all enjoyed his cameos over the years , last year his sets with pilgrim, storm and his 25 year coronation as Top Buzz was a jot to behold. The magic between mad p and strict was electric and had no hesitation to have him fully on the card.

AFTER PARTY– 6pm-midnight (venue tbc)

LOUISE PLUS ONE B2B HUGHESEE

Really happy to have them apart of this year’s event again, great supporters of Riverdance behind the curtain and great back catalogue’s that would envy many. They are amazing people and an honor to have them.

MAVERICK

Proper oldskool d+b set from original don- proper talent, proper nice guy always a pleasure and again beat matching is top draw. He played a few years back and tore the roof off, let’s see him do the same again.

G.MAGIKAL

 I have to say the amount of requests I get from people to have this lady down grows year on year and so this year it’s my pleasure to be able to have her on the card and bring her great skills and tune selection for you all.

RUFFNEK

Will be bringing up the rear, digging deep in the crates with some rare bizznizz of acid , jungle, breakbeat, hardcore techno that rarely gets played out

Once again with YERK AUDIO and WATTS UP that provided you guys with what many people said one of the best sound systems on the boat in a very long time- Indeed these guys are now considered family, they are supreme masters at their work and many artists and ravers commented on how great they are and how good their setups are. Big respects goes out to them.

Here are some sets from past Riverdance parties
