FIRST NAMES Underworld are guests of honour at the banquet. They played a crucial role in the break-through of
techno music. The band will make an exclusive appearance at I Love Techno and present their excellent sixth album "Barking", featuring top producers Mark Knight, High Contrast, Dubfire and Appleblim. Goose will also introduce their latest album. The long-awaited "Synrise" is out in October. Live première at I Love Techno! I Love Techno has always had an eye for the past, present and future. Dave Clarke can under no circumstances be absent. He is Mister I Love Techno and he simply has to be there to celebrate the fifteenth birthday. This year, he is once again curating a hall. Also there: 3deck master Ben Sims and Robert Hood, the minimal techno godfather from Detroit. I Love Techno looks forward with Joker's 'purple sound', dubstep from Bristol. With Caspa, who, along with Rusko, is running the leading labels Dub Police and Subsoldiers. And with upcoming super star DJ Riva Starr and the nu disco/balearic beats of Villa. Electro and related genres have secured a spot at I Love Techno as well. Boys Noize will do a DJ set. Just because he is awesome. Label mates Les Petits Pilous are coming as well. Also at the banquet: party animals Crookers. In Werchter people are still recovering from their set in the Pyramid Marquee. From the US: Steve Aoki and A-Trak. Aoki is coming to I Love Techno for the first time. The man behind the Dim Mak label (Mstrkrft, Bloody Beetroots...) had a remarkably infectious single this year: "I'm in The House" (featuring will.i.am of Black Eyed Peas). A-Trak received lots of attention thanks to the 'Heads Will Roll" remix for Yeah Yeah Yeahs and his Duck Sauce project with Armand Van Helden. DJ Hell, a key figure of the electroclash movement of the mid 90s, is also someone to look forward to. And of course there is also Live Nation - Blarenberglaan 3A - 2800 Mechelen - tel: 015 29 59 00 - www.livenation.be a spot for Belgian talent at I Love Techno, like Highbloo, who recently released a remarkable EP on Lektroluv records.
