Saddle up and set your sights on the horizon—this year’s demoparty is riding back into Stockholm, and we’re taking things offshore once again. That’s right: we’re returning to the boat, where code meets the waves and creativity drifts deep into the night. Whether you joined us last year or you’re stepping aboard for the first time, get ready for an experience that’s anything but ordinary.

The theme this year is Hold your horses, release your prods! Expect a frontier of imagination where pixels, sound, and code clash in a high-noon showdown of creativity. Dust off your finest routines, polish those shaders, and prepare to ride into a weekend filled with innovation, nostalgia, and pure demoscene energy.

What truly sets this party apart is its dedication to being Sweden’s only true multiplatform demoparty. From cutting-edge newschool demos to lovingly crafted oldschool productions, from streaming music to ASCII art and beyond—we celebrate it all. No matter your platform, style, or background, there’s a compo waiting for you to make your mark.

And when the compos wind down, the decks heat up. Throughout the event, a lineup of talented artists (TBA) will take the stage, delivering live performances to keep the atmosphere alive and buzzing. Expect everything from chilled-out vibes to high-energy sets as the night rolls on.

So grab your crew, pack your gear, and prepare to board. Whether you’re here to compete, collaborate, or just soak it all in, this is your invitation to be part of something special. The ship is leaving the harbor—don’t get left behind.

When the screens dim and the crowd leans in, that’s when the magic really happens. This is where late-night ideas turn into unexpected masterpieces, where first-time entries stand shoulder to shoulder with seasoned legends, and where every byte carries a bit of attitude. Whether you’re pushing hardware to its limits or just vibing with the atmosphere, there’s a special kind of energy here you won’t find anywhere else.

Out on the water, surrounded by fellow creators, the usual rules don’t quite apply. Time bends, inspiration hits differently, and suddenly it’s 4 AM and you’re still tweaking that last effect—or cheering as someone else’s prod lights up the room. It’s not just about competition; it’s about sharing the moment, the craft, and the passion that keeps this scene alive.

So if you’ve been waiting for a sign—this is it. Bring your ideas, your curiosity, your wildest experiments. Join us on deck, take part in the compos, catch the live acts, and be part of a weekend that’s equal parts chaos and creativity.

Hold your horses… and release your prods.
