Eerste namen I Love Techno!
UNDERWORLD (LIVE) | BOYS NOIZE | RICHIE HAWTIN | BOOKA SHADE (LIVE) | DIGITALISM | PET DUO (LIVE) | AUDION (LIVE) | SEBASTIAN | UMEK | ROBERT HOOD | CROOKERS | DJ MURPHY | HEARTTHROB (LIVE) | BUSY P
Underworld is this year’s uncontested headliner. They promise to make up big for cancelling previous edition. This Brittish dance duo is one of the biggest names in the dance-scene as we know it today. At Rock Werchter, they proved still being one of the best live acts in the genre. Co-headlining is Boys Noize, 2007’s revelation and only growing stronger ever since. Pioneer Richie Hawtin will also be present in Gent again, this time together with his M_nus colleagues Audion and Heartthrob for a special new project. More on this in the upcoming newsletters. From Germany and presenting their new album “The Sun & The Neon Light” please welcome Booka Shade. Digitalism, from Germany as well, released their new mix album on Kitsuné and will demonstrate us their excellent mixing skills. I Love Techno likes to put new talents in the spotlights: Sebastian is the next big thing and plays alongside his Ed Banger label boss Busy P, while Crookers are today’s hottest remixers. Veteran Robert Hood, Umek and DJ Murphy handle the techno beats while the furious Brazilian Pet Duo are growing to become hard techno masters. Being regular guests, they will nevertheless visit I Love Techno for the first time with a live set.
Het ziet er dus alweer fantastisch uit! I Love Techno vindt plaats op 15 november in Flanders Expo Gent. Ik ben zonder twijfel voor de derde keer aanwezig!
10 Days Off
Dinsdag ben ik naar de Minusnight getrokken op 10 days Off in de Gentse vooruit, en dat werd toch wel het feestje van het jaar! Zowel Pan Pot, Heartthrob als Richie Hawtin waren subliem! Een klein filmpje van de laatste track van Richie:
Die avond kreeg ik een kaartje toegestopt. Als je naar www.beatport.com/10daysoff surft kan je 10 gratis tracks downloaden van oa. Feadz, Simian Mobile Disco en Magda.
