Cinq nouveaux noms pour les 10 Days Off

Le Festival 10 Days Off a probablement peur qu’on s’ennuie pendant nos longs weekends de mai. Juste avant le weekend de l’Ascension, l’organisation nous lâche une première rafale de treize noms que vous pouvez retrouver dans notre article consacré à ce sujet. A ses treize premiers noms déjà très alléchants, il faut rajouter donc ces cinq nouveaux artistes: Hot Chip DJ’s, Yuksek, Thomas Brinkmann, J-Wow + Kala (Buraka Som Sistema) et Andy C + Mc GQ. Le festival continue à dévoiler son line-up au compte-goutte et nous voyons encore que la barre reste très haute.

Hot Chip DJ’s [UK]

Besides being one hell of a band, the guys from Hot Chip also love to share their favourite music with the crowd. In between their tour dates this summer, Hot Chip will be playing a DJ set at the 10 days off festival. Felix & Al will bring an array of electronic, floor shaking techno grooves to the table. Are you ready for the floor?

Yuksek [FR]

http://www.myspace.com/yuksek
French electroproducer and DJ. Released his first EP in 2005: The Wax EP, followed by numerous other releases such as hitsingle ‘Tonight’. He brings an explosive mix of fat grooves, electropop and French Touch. Away From The Sea, his first album was released in 2009 and featured guests such as Chromeo and Spank Rock. Pierre-Alexandre is an electrodude with a poppy heart!

Thomas Brinkmann [GE]

Thomas is a well respected artist, he injects his minimal techno with hard- and software experiments without losing the soul. He gained wide reputation with his re-workings of material by fellow artists Mike Ink and Richie Hawtin. For each new project he develops a new sound and character, for his latest project ‘ When Horses Die’ he took on the role of a singer-songwriter, don’t take this to literally, he meant to tell a story through his music, and succeeded in doing so.

J-Wow + Kala (Buraka Som Sistema) [POR]

http://www.myspace.com/burakasomsistema
João Barbosa aka J-Wow is one of the driving forces and the main producer of the Portugese outfit Buraka Som Sistema. He deals in Kudoro: a strange but ass-shaking mix of early house, calypso rythms and excellent gritty voices. Could be described as the missing link between baile funk, breakbeat and Baltimore-style bass. Check out his single ‘Klang’ released on Deadly. His buddy Kala, the MC of Buraka Som Sistema, tags along to break the house down!

Andy C + Mc GQ [UK]

http://www.myspace.com/andyramrec
A pioneering Drum and Bass DJ and producer, Andy C had been at the forefront of the genre since the early 90’s. He co-founded RAM Records, home of Moving Fusion and Sub Focus amongst others. Superfast mixing skills, old classics, brand new releases, this veteran always kills it! MC GQ will bring the hype.
