FULL LINEUP REVEALED

Spanning the various sounds and unparalleled vibes of the inimitable rooms of Zouk, Velvet Underground and Phuture, ZoukOut 2009 showcases the finest acts representative of today’s electronic music universe, both local and international.

The word’s most popular DJ, having been voted Number One twice (DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJ poll), with 30 million listeners tuning in to his radio show and constantly sold out gigs globally, Trance luminary Armin van Buuren sets to headline ZoukOut 2009 his well known and best loved uplifting, euphoric sets!

Bringing down the House, will be the Defected crew led by label owner Simon Dumore’s exceedingly lively sets, coupled with percussion extraordinaire Shovell and Yasmeen’s stirring vocals. Perfectly in theme with the festival’s buoyant spirit!

Introducing the first of ZoukOut debutants and literally the freshest faces in the dance music scene, The Martinez Brothers, Chris (17 years old) and Steve (20 years old), take time off their residencies at Pacha (NYC & Ibiza), Cielo (NYC) and Social Club (Paris) to lend their unstoppable energy and unrivaled polished taste for upbeat house tracks!

For devout Techno heads, Minimal Techno’s poster boy and coveted owner of the Minus label, the multi-talented Richie Hawtin, returns to our shores after gracing the inaugural ZoukOut in 2000, to rock the party proper with his infinite supply of seminal forward thinking tracks.

Pioneers of the revolutionary electroclash movement plus a fanbase that includes celebrities like Karl Lagerfeld and the (in)famous Marilyn Manson, Miss Kittin & The Hacker guarantee to please and tease with their unrivalled techno-pop sensibilities. Debuting as the ‘Live’ element at ZoukOut 2009, the duo promises to be the most commanding addition to the line-up.

Adding a dollop of flava with a mad display of turntable skills will be three-time World DMC Championship Winner DJ Craze, unquestionably regarded as one of the best scratch DJs worldwide as well as a gifted producer with a knack for sounds spanning the spectrum from Garage, Hip-Hop to even Drum & Bass and Dubstep.

Celebrated music label owner (Turbo Records), acclaimed remixer and producer plus also a fine singer to boot, Tiga lends his equally ace repertoire of Electro-House fused playlists, promising to raise the party to fever pitch!
