When you ask Chibuku Shake Shake aficionados to name their favourite party, many of them will wax lyrical about dancing in a beautiful valley under a star-filled sky. The Forest Party, summer 2002, was one of the legendary club's finest events.
This year, the party returns. The location is the same and the line-up is even stronger, with Chibuku, No Fakin', Ape, Dirty Disco and Bugged Out! all adding their DJ skills to the mix. The party is in support of Lake of Stars Festival in Malawi.
Imagine spending the night in a stunning natural playground, dancing to deep house and hip hop as the sound echoes through the trees and the stars give way to the sunrise... This could be the party of the summer.
