The first edition of Sea Sound festival will have its own sound system to power it. From July 18th to 21st, Martinska will be adorned with a total of five sound systems for the five stages on the peninsula opposite Šibenik.
Roots Sound powered by Prevara Sound System
(The Mother of All Deceptions) Sound system originated in Zagreb, as a caretaker of reality and all that it carries. Deception has emerged from the ruins of Digitron Sound System, also known as the first sound system in the country. Brother Kiwi is the minister of thought and propaganda of deception, Lasmo is the majority shareholder, and Kani is the only touch with reality. They are the ones spinning music under the flag of deception and heralding light through darkness. Besides deceiving in the country and its surroundings, they also organize regular nights of Majestic 23.
Electro Sound powered by Trokut Audio
Trokut Audio. DIY horn loaded sound from Šibenik. Created for the needs of techno and electro parties, mostly of a private and compact nature. It has been around since 2015, operating mainly in Šibenik, occasionally visiting other parts of Dalmatia.
Bass Sound powered by Roadtripper Sound System
Roadtripper SoundSystem is a collective that consists of many various configurations, from acoustic reggae jam band, to digital steppers production and DIY soundsystem building.

Dub Sound powered by Vibration Addict Sound System
Vibration Addict is a handmade sound system from Sutivanac, a village in inland Istria, which originated in 2015 out of a hobby and addiction to dub music, crafted by Neven Šugar. He builds the speakers following the model of original English and Jamaican dub sound systems. The focus lies on the quality and clarity of the bass and the design of the speakers, resulting in crystal-clear sound and melodious bass. Soon, a series of events are organized on his estate in Sutivanac, and there he creates Zion Boška, turning his own forest into a place recognized in Europe as a favorite destination for sound system enthusiasts, which will experience its third edition this year. Thanks to it, legends like King Shiloh, Jah Tubby’s, King Alpha, etc., are brought to his village. From the very beginning, Disciple Mark I joins him on the microphone to support, and they hold sessions in a soundsystem style. In recent years, he has participated in festivals like Outlook, Seasplash, Escape the City, and similar events, both within Croatia and abroad.
Live Sound powered by Seasplash Sound System
The beginning of Seasplash Sound System is tied to the beginning of the festival. For the first edition in 2003 in Štinjan near Pula, the first set was created. Although initially not perceived as a classic Sound System, just like the festival itself, it was a pioneer, a prototype that initiated a new era and scene.The second phase began a few years later when the Seasplash Sound System started performing at other festivals, initially at the location of the Punta Christo fortress in Štinjan, in addition to Seasplash, serving festivals like Outlook, Dimensions, and Slurp!. The current set, as the third phase, emerged between 2017 and 2018, giving its sound a new dimension, not only to the MainSplash stage of the Seasplash festival but also to other events, such as its presentation during two editions of A Weekend Block Party in Žitnjak, Zagreb. A distinctive feature of the Seasplash Sound System today is the ‘mid scoops’ boxes, which cover both the ‘guitaristic’ range of frequencies, as the sound system regularly provides sound reinforcement for live performances as well as DJ sets. A small part of the Seasplash Sound System supplies the program of the DVA OSAM club in Jabukovac, Zagreb, and for the sixth year, it has powered the majority of festival and concert events at the Martinska location in Šibenik (Membrain festival, Kanal fest, Preach The RIČ, etc.). This powerful Sound System continues its journey at the new Sea Sound Festival, offering a perfect connection between the history and future of Sound System culture in Croatia and beyond.
Lineup announcements and tickets can be found on the Sea Sound festival official website.
