With tickets continuing to sell quicker than we can print them, it looks set to be a rather successful summer for the captivating boutique festival Electric Gardens. Set at the breathtaking Mount Ephraim Gardens (www.mountephraimgardens.co.uk) - a stunning 800 acre stately home & estate in Kent over the weekend of 4/5 August, Electric Gardens 2007 boasts a sublime selection of bands (around 50 in total) across the two days.
This year’s headliners are Supergrass (Saturday) and Happy Mondays (Sunday), with major support from the likes of The Rakes, Calvin Harris, The Young Knives, New Young Pony Club, Patrick Wolf, Jack Penate, Plan B, Lethal Bizzle, Mr Hudson & The Library, The Holloways and The Pipettes amongst many others. Having recently announced the Myspace Stage (featuring Kent’s finest local bands, plus the hottest new talents from further a field), it’s now time to bring you the all important Dance Tent line-up, hosted by Kent’s leading purveyor of underground goodness – ClubClass.

Over the years ClubClass has welcomed the worlds greatest DJs and electronic acts from Trentemøller to Tenaglia, Leftfield to Cox and Digweed to Deep Dish and with Electric Gardens on the horizon ClubClass will be putting in every effort to making sure the festival is their greatest achievement to date.

With arguably the best resident DJs in the country (Nic Fanciulli, Paul Woolford & Paolo Mojo), ClubClass continues to establish itself as one of the leading nights in underground dance music.

Slam / Stanton Warriors / Nic Fanciulli
The dance revelry kicks off in the ClubClass Arena on Saturday 4th August with Glasgow’s seminal double act Slam combining a rare festival appearance with their debut set for ClubClass after all these years. Head honchos of the groundbreaking label Soma, the techno legends will headline this mouth-watering day of breaks, bleeps and all-round electronic excellence, alongside Fabric residents Stanton Warriors and ClubClass king, Nic Fanciulli – who comes back to Blighty for one day only following his mammoth One+One tour with James Zabiela! Backing up the Stanton’s on breaks duty will be the mighty Meat Katie and Finger Lickin’ Records’ A Skillz, with additional support from Maidstone Mafioso’s Mark Fanciulli (yes, Nic’s bro!) & Small Fry, Shake DJs and Mezza Breaks. The evening’s entertainment will come to a dramatic and hedonistic close on Saturday night, with a very special Hacienda Set from original resident Mike Pickering. The perfect climax some might say, what with the original Madchester massive – The Happy Mondays performing live the following night!!
- Sunday 5th August -
Danny Howells / Funk D’Void / Justin Robertson
One sleep later… ClubClass bring even more dancefloor ruckus to Mount Ephraim Gardens, and an equally satisfying day of musical enlightenment. Today’s headliners include one of ClubClass’ all-time favourite jocks and Global Underground pioneer - Danny Howells, plus fellow faves Funk D’Void and Justin Robertson… the acid-house general. Crosstown Rebels don Damian Lazarus will be flying the flag for minimal, just as SOS member and underground hero Desyn Masiello cranks up the bass. Representing the nu-breed will be Godskitchen’s Micky Slim and ClubClass resident Sam Ball – who’ll be going back-to-back with Together resident Anil Chawla. A Kent music festival wouldn’t be the same without any representation from the county’s (and indeed one of the world’s) leading record labels Toolroom – so step forward label cohorts Pete Griffiths & George Andrews to the one’s and two’s. Similarly, like yesterday’s line-up, more of Kent’s rising stars are also let loose behind the decks, with the Warning: 2 Dirty DJs (that’s quartet Craig Benitez, Rob Cockerton, Matt Cox & Switch) joining Rebel Beat Allies for some early hands-in-the-moments!! And trust us, with the DJs of this calibre rocking out the good stuff for two straight days… they’ll be plenty of those hands-in-the-air moments too!! Believe.
