Ladies and Gents, it is a great pleasure to announce that our 3rd boat party - SOLU Boat party (formerly known as Metropolis Boat Party) will take place on great Golden Flame boat on the river Thames in London. First two parties have been massive success and our headliners dj Trava and Martin Haberland have both enjoyed our company. This time we have decided to invite first lady of Czech Djing - LADIDA.
She is typified by her precise mixing style and dynamic electronic sound with percussive elements and organic soundscapes. Ladida does not work only as a DJ but also as a producer, in which her success resides mainly in her wide-ranging musical spectrum and many years of experience. She has played all over the world - Berlin's Love Parade and Mayday, Japan, Singapore, UK and many more. Ladida has stood behind the decks next to djs such as Laurent Garnier, Dj Hell, Westbam, Miss Kittin, Jeff Mills, Carl Cox and others.
