Spring is here, and that means Summer will be here before you know it. And you know what that means? Festival season is almost upon us, in particular the summer dance parties that see thousands of Australians flock out in the sun to listen to some of the world’s greatest electronic artists.
We’re not expecting Future Entertainment to announce the Summadayze lineup until later today, but sister company Fuzzy have jumped the gun and announced the line-up for the biggest New Year’s Eve party in Sydney, Shore Thing!
First cab off the rank is The Chemical Brothers for a DJ set, all but confirming thet’ll also be making an appearance at Summadayze, the reigning supreme kings of dance music for more than fifteen years.
Known for their killer production skills and epic tracks like ‘Leave Home’, ‘Escape Velocity’ and their recent London 2012 track ‘Velodrome’, there aren’t too many people who won’t know this devil-may-care duo also spend stacks of time attached to their decks, DJing everywhere from Coachella to Ibiza and back again.
When two of the masterminds behind Pendulum, Rob Swire and Gareth McGrillen, decided to do something shiny and new, the huge electronic kick in the head that is Knife Party was born. Knife Party are armed with some mammoth tracks and they are going to unleash them with wild abandon at Shore Thing.
Legendary Dutch DJ Fedde Le Grand is set to drop his heady mix of DJ dexterity, remix mastery and production prowess onto the Shore Thing stage with a loud bass-driven clamour. If Fedde Le Grand busts out his epic hit ‘Put Your Hands Up For Detroit’ and his stellar remix of Everything But The Girl’s ‘Missing’ then Shore Thing is going to see in the New Year with one hell of a bang.
