Dex, which will be completey transformed so that none of the original Cockstock vibe will be lost. Get ready for 2009 party of the year!!!

::: History :::

Dear Friends


About 14 billion years ago there was an explosion. The energy from this explosion was so great it created everything that is, was and ever will be. And now, 2009 orbits of the sun after the birth of a man who may or may not have existed, we invite you to celebrate this mighty explosion and revel in the glory of all it has created.

2 years ago, while the rest of the world gorged itself on cheap credit and Mexican pigs plotted our downfall, we created an event which tapped into a source of power greater than anything Ross Kemp has ever witnessed. The source: Love. The event: Cockstock.

Joint with the after hours honchos, KeToLoCo, this event is a unique, intimate 18 hour fiesta, synergising the best underground acts around, vibrating air molecules into your ears and firing electromagnetic waves into your eyes in such a way that only those truly consumed by darkness would not be moved. Cockstock is proof that Love is not simply an emotion but a force of nature.

The great Charles Darwin pointed out; only those who can adapt to a changing environment will survive. In the last 2 years the demand for real Love has increased exponentially. With this in mind, we are pleased to announce our new venue at the Dex Club in Brixton - complete with main room palace, huge 2 deck terrace, festival tent, hot tub, 2 Funktion one soundsystems, BBQ and cocktails bars and. Rest assured none of the original charm or atmosphere will be lost in our new home.

As always the over riding theme will be the epic power of Love but this year we also plan to celebrate those few who dared not to conform. A LUST FOR LOOT; Forget your usual uniforms of society - Think... Pirates, Han Solo, Jesse James, diamonds and pearls, The Joker, smugglers, skeleton Mexicans with heads on pikes... outlaws who refused to become victims of their own humanity. Here we celebrate not their crimes but their quest for freedom.

You are cordially invited to brush aside the fear of poverty, politicians and pandemics and join us on SATURDAY 26th SEPTEMBER 2009 for this 18 hour fiesta at The Dex Hotel & Club in Brixton for the perfect end to your summer.

This is my favourite annual, party 1 & 2 were the nuts,cant wait for this.
Buddies in for u-x-

yesssssssssssssssssss!

this is going to be amazing!
