First Artist Announcement

The Prodigy

Since emerging from the UK’s underground rave scene in the early 1990s, The Prodigy have established themselves as one of the most dominant, dynamic and revered electronic acts of all time. Pioneers of the big beat genre, their unique mixture of Rave, Hardcore, Industrial and Breakbeat sounds, has seen them consistently captivate the planet’s electronic faithful and, in turn, sell more albums than any other dance music artist in history. From giving birth to iconic tracks like ‘Firestarter’, ‘Voodoo People’, ‘Smack My Bitch Up’ and ‘Breathe’ to forging chart-topping albums like ‘Music For A Jilted Generation’, ‘Fat Of The Lamb’ and 2009’s ‘Invaders Must Die’; The Prodigy are an explosive sonic voice for an entire generation of clubbers, ravers, punks and rockers worldwide whose live shows are the stuff of legend.

Empire Of The Sun

Since heralding their arrival in a blaze of colour, quirk and groove in 2007, Empire Of The Sun have quickly captivated the nation’s - and the world’s - imagination. Blending smooth harmonies and silky pop grooves with hints of Electro and soaring Electronica, this prodigious group have dominated charts around the world with critically-acclaimed singles like ‘Walking On A Dream’, ‘We Are The People’ and ‘Standing On The Shore’. Their debut album ‘Walking On A Dream’ (2008) is already filed in the annals of electronic music’s finest moments, while their live show is gearing up to dominate festival stages in every corner of the planet.
Empire Of The Sun are nominated for Best New Act at this year's Q Awards, which will be announced on Monday October 26. They continue to make waves in the UK market where they have a Gold selling album and recently achieved their third consecutive Radio 1 playlist addition with ‘Walking On A Dream’. www.walkingonadream.com.au

In Australia, the ‘Walking On A Dream’ album has surpassed 100,000 album sales and is on its way to Double Platinum with global sales approaching half a million units.

Franz Ferdinand

With a Grammy Award nomination and a myriad of top ten singles to their credit, it’s little wonder that Scotland’s Franz Ferdinand are widely regarded as one of the hottest live electronic bands in the world today. Featuring the talents of Alex Kapranos, Nicholas McCarthy, Robert Hardy and Paul Thomson, this indie rock, dance punk phenomenon have released three stunning albums (‘Franz Ferdinand’, ‘You Could Have It So Much Better’ and 2009’s ‘Tonight: Franz Ferdinand’) and are renowned for sending main stage festival crowds into sheer pandemonium.

Booka Shade

Comprising the talents of Walter Merziger and Arno Kammermeier, Germany’s Booka Shade are one of the most influential EDM artists of the last few years. Responsible for the forward-thinking albums ‘Memento’, ‘Movements’ and ‘The Sun & The Neon Light’, and iconic tunes like ‘Mandarine Girl’ and ‘Body Language’; this power-house duo have single-handedly helped to redefine the Minimal and Tech House genres worldwide and continue to blaze new trails in the studio and beyond. In addition to their phenomenal success as producers, Booka Shade’s energetic live show has thrilled festival crowds and dancefloors across the planet, while their innovative record label ‘Get Physical’ (founded with DJ T and M.A.N.D.Y) is widely respected as one of the premier imprints of our time.

David Guetta

Redefining the term Superstar DJ with each passing day, House music icon and Producer extraordinaire, David Guetta, is a name that requires little introduction to dance music fans. The musical wunderkind responsible for classic club anthems like “When Love Takes Over”, #1 single for the last 10 weeks “Sexy Bitch” (aka “Sexy Chick”), “Love Is Gone”, “Just A Little More Love” and “Love Don’t Let Me Go”, and a veteran of no less than four artist albums (including 2009’s highly acclaimed “One Love”); his eclectic blend of Electro, House and Dirty Pop has seen him rise quickly to the top of the planet’s most sought-after DJs list. Playing gigs in over 200 cities in 2008 alone, he is the reigning World #1 House DJ and dazzles crowds with his rare mixing abilities, live edits and technical wizardry. Latest album “One Love” alone features collaborations with such start studded names as the Black Eyed Peas, Akon, Kelly Rowland, Ne-Yo and Estelle.

John Digweed

A pioneer and luminary who continues to push the boundaries and set the agenda of EDM worldwide, John Digweed is a seminal force in the past, present and future of dance music culture. From his groundbreaking mixes for Renaissance in the Halcyon days of clubbing to his legendary Bedrock club nights/events, Transitions radio show, and pace-setting Bedrock Records imprint; ‘Diggers’, as he’s affectionately known to legions of global fans, is one of the most famous and influential DJs to ever grace the decks. A regular visitor to Australia throughout his 20+ year career, his last visit saw him rock FMF crowds to their very core.

Sven Vath

A veteran of over 20 years experience, Germany’s King of Techno, Sven Vath, is a cult-figure within the world’s pulsating EDM underground. As one of the genuine driving forces behind modern electronic music, his seminal albums (including ‘Accident in Paradise and ‘The Harlequin, The Robot, & The Ballet Dancer’) literally paved the way for contemporary Techno, while his Cocoon record label, events and parties are undisputed marks of uber-cool chic and premium quality worldwide. Renowned for delivering marathon sets and engaging the crowd with his off-the-wall antics, Sven is an inimitable force who continues to break musical ground and reshape EDM as we know it – long live the King!

Erick Morillo

In the world of House music, names don’t come much bigger than that of Erick Morillo. Achieving a level of success and stardom that few DJs and Producers can only dream of, his tunes (including the iconic ‘I Like To Move It’, ‘Reach’, ‘Come Make Me Over’ and ‘Break Down The Doors’) are revered for their dancefloor-thumping groove, while his coveted DJ sets are famed for their relentless and ass-shaking soul, passion and fever. From collaborating with and remixing the world’s biggest names (including P. Diddy, Diana Ross, LL Cool J and Macy Gray) to running the legendary Subliminal Records label empire; there’s no denying that Erick Morillo IS House music 
 all night long.

Above & Beyond

Acclaimed as one of the finest UK dance outfits of the past few years, Above & Beyond’s meteoric rise to the top of the global dance music scene continues unabated. Last year they moved to 4th in the prestigeous DJ Mag100, behind only Armin van Buuren, John Digweed and Tiesto. This is an act at the height of their powers, constantly pushing at the boundaries of uplifting electronic music and reaping the rewards (and awards) in equal measure. Their debut artist album ‘Tri-State’ was acclaimed as a standout electronic album of recent times. ‹As DJs, Above & Beyond, aka Tony, Jono, and Paavo, have scooped Radio 1’s Essential Mix Of The Year Award, and as producers have enjoyed two top 20 hits in the UK; including ‘Satellite’ under their Oceanlab alias, and have remixed the likes of Madonna and Dido, prompting Radio 1's Pete Tong to describe them as ‘the UK’s new dance superstars’. ‹

Dubfire

As one of the world’s leading doyens of twisted, dark House and Techno, Dubfire (Ali Shirazinia), is a prodigious DJ and Producer who sits at the very forefront of the international EDM underground. The mastermind behind the cutting edge SCI + TEC digital label and the genius responsible for tunes like ‘Roadkill’, ‘Ribcage’, ‘Emissions’ and ‘Rabid’; Dubfire travels the globe delivering twisted sets of distinction and caving heads with his trademark “jet-black, polished-chrome Techno” sounds. As one half of the all-conquering Grammy Award-wining Deep Dish duo, he helped pioneer the Progressive House and Deep House genres in 1990s; now, in 2009, he’s helping to forge a whole new realm of Techno and amassing a legion of brand new fans in the process 


Boys Noize

As a sought-after DJ, Producer and record label boss, German Electro and Tech House kingpin, Boys Noize, continues to take the world by storm since bursting onto the scene back in 2004. From reworking the likes of Bloc Party, Sebastian Tellier, Justice, Gonzales and Marilyn Manson to dropping two artist albums (‘Oi Oi Oi’ and 2009’s ‘Power’), this coveted studio talent is renowned for making dancefloor bombs that make some serious NOISE! Often referred to as ‘the Ed Banger of Germany’ his label, Boys Noize Records, is home to artists the caliber of Shadow Dancer, Erol Alkan and D.I.M, and is globally revered for the quality and consistency of its upfront releases.
And many more to be announced!
