Bit of a mixed bag this one. Musically, it's less tech-house and more lucky dip. There's some techno, some house, some d'n'b and everything in between. For this one, though, it feels less about the music and more about the experience. Look at the name of it for goodness sake. Tale Of The Kraken implies adventure, swash-buckling action and enough marine exploration to make you feel like an extra from Pirates of the Caribbean. There are stop-offs in Ibiza and the rest, of course, so you can stretch your legs but the signature party, 'The Shipsomnia Ball', takes place on the boat and there's loads of fancy dress opportunities and probably dancing. We reckon if you want to feel like Jack Sparrow, drunk and enchanted, this one's probably for you. Also if you like dressing like a lobster, get tickets NOW.
