OUR FRIENDS ELECTRONIC
ROCK NESS organisers today revealed three of the world’s most exciting purveyors of dance are set to host the BOLLYWOOD ARENA this summer in a triple whammy of electronic brilliance.
The all-star line up that's sure to cause shockwaves of delight with festival aficionados features two of Scotland's most visionary institutions synonymous with first class sounds and downright good taste, and a French label counterpart whose dancefloor slammers are elixir to a generation.
On Friday, SOMA RECORDS get the party started with a dazzling array of international excellence from the esteemed SOMA stable including FUNK D'VOID, THE BLACK DOG, MARK HENNING, OCTOGEN, MR COPY, HARVEY McKAY and DECIMAL. This pioneering Glasgow-based label is one of the most respected in the business, and Soma’s inaugural Rock Ness celebration promises to serve a superlative sonic feast.
ED BANGER RECORDS, the stupendously excellent Parisian label assumes control on Saturday with DJ sets from BUSY P, DJ MEHDI, DJ FEADZ and CRAZY BALDHEAD. As one of the most talked about labels around and home to a raft of generation-defining acts including Justice, ED BANGER RECORDS is the undisputed label-du-jour. Its parties are as legendary as they are hip and selective, and this Rock Ness exclusive is a major coup by organisers and further testament to the festival's kudos.
There is surely no finer way to close the Bollywood Arena on Sunday than with an exceptional soundtrack courtesy of the SUB CLUB. For one night only, this legendary Glasgow institution, widely regarded as one of the world's most influential clubs and celebrating a milestone 22 years at the top, will be bringing its inimitable magic to the Highlands. HYP? ft BOOM MONK BEN, KINKY AFRO ft MAFRO, NUMBERS ft JACKMASTER, COTTON CAKE and a live set from SENSU will whip proceedings into an appropriate frenzy before the mighty OPTIMO and SUB CULTURE ft HARRI, DOMENIC and TELFORD close.
These acts are the latest inspired additions to an already splendidly curated line up that features the finest dance, electronic and rock. They further boost the recent announcements that THE FLAMING LIPS are lined up as the Main Stage Headliners for the inaugural Friday show along with other top acts across the weekend including PLACEBO, SUPER FURRY ANIMALS, EROL ALKAN, DAVID GUETTA, ORBITAL, PETE TONG, ZANE LOWE and ROB DA BANK.
The burgeoning line up is augmented by festival headliners THE PRODIGY, BIFFY CLYRO, BASEMENT JAXX and DIZZEE RASCAL.
Jim King, Festival Director
“We are determined to make this year’s Rock Ness the biggest party of the summer and these special one off parties hosted by some of the most respected operators in the business are going to make Bollywood a very special place every night. We can guarantee there is going to be some amazing music played in there all weekend and if you want to party then these guys always deliver.”
Mike Grieve, Director, Sub Club
“Everyone at the Sub Club is really excited to be part of RockNess 2009. The spectacular backdrop and the brilliant atmosphere make this unique festival something Scotland can be really proud of and we want to bring the true flavour of the Sub Club to the Highlands with the cream of Glasgow's DJ and electronic music talent on hand to really Rock the Ness.
We look forward to a fantastic weekend.” www.subclub.co.uk

“Soma is and has been a massively important part of both the Scottish and the international electronic dance music scene since we started out in 1991. It’s great that RockNess recognises that and that they are showcasing some of our established, and emerging, local and international talent.” www.somarecords.com
