Complimenting their all-encompassing line up Gatecrasher has now raised the bar yet again by adding two of the biggest artists of the last 12 months: MARK RONSON and HOTCHIP. The transatlantic producer, performer, writer and man of the moment MARK RONSON has exploded onto the forefront of UK and US music scene and will be heading to the event for a coveted DJ set on the Sunday. Having collaborated with some of the world’s most popular stars such as Amy Winehouse, Lilly Allen, Christina Aguilera and The Kaiser Chiefs remixing and covering a massive range of artists and genres he has carved a niche as a pedigree producer. His live shows deliver a unique and eclectic blend of classic funk, soul and Hip Hop mixed with modern pop and all garnished with vintage British Rock n Roll and indie so you can be sure his DJ set will be reflective of his tastes. In 2007 he released his double platinum selling album of covers and remixes ‘Version’ which included the monster #2 hit ‘Valerie’ feat Amy Winehouse and secured him Best Male Artist at the 2008 Brit awards. He will be performing an array of his singles and classic tracks in a DJ set at one of his biggest festival slots to date on the all new Zane Lowe stage at Summer Sound System. No introduction should be necessary for one of the biggest acts of the past year ­HOTCHIP - already making an indelible mark on 2008 with their top 10 single ‘Ready For The Floor’, the five-piece synth connoisseurs will be gracing the Main Stage at Summer Sound System with an extra special set, laying down their own inimitable brand of electro-pop. After receiving a Mercury Prize nomination for their second album in 2006 their third studio album ‘Made in the Dark’ released in February reached #4 in the UK album charts, #8 in Europe and received massive critical acclaim from the likes of Mixmag and NME firmly cementing them as one of the acts to catch in 2008. Hot Chip’s interactive live mixes and reinvention of their album tracks live on stage make them one of the most sought after acts to indulge in for any self confessed electro/pop lover and Gatecrasher will be their first appearance on the festival calendar. Without doubt one of the most exciting festival lineups this year this is a mouthwatering temptation to music lovers across the world. Being the first major festival of the year and bringing in a new Summer of love it’s a blistering start to the glorious festival season. A line up and audience that will cross pollinate indie, dance, pop and urban, 2008 is set to herald a new page for Gatecrasher and open itself up to every discerning music lover who cherishes fields, sun, decks and guitars.

Falling in the year that sees acid house turn 20, Gatecrasher has lined up a weekend of non-stop celebration, combining the architects of dance music with the current crop of scene-setters. Keeping Anglo-French relations at their very best, the Grammy award nominated JUSTICE, whose ubiquitous mix of Simian’s ‘Never Be Alone’ dominated dance-floors throughout the world, will be setting the stage alight with their dirty, driven, blend of rocking electro house. The malicious mix maestros are currently on a world tour with their bedazzling Christian light show and punk/dance ethic, which could turn any house atheist into a convert. The line up continues with heavyweight artists a plenty. Heading back across the pond will be the mighty PAUL OAKENFOLD who will be delivering a riotous set of tried and tested anthems for the expectant crowds. With numerous chart hits and worldwide acclaim, Oakey has shaped mixes for the likes of Snoop Dog to U2 to The Happy Mondays and is now making a homecoming trip to an audience that has grown up, danced and educated themselves together with his meteoric rise to DJ infamy. Antipodean noiseniks PENDULUM look to maintain their grip on world domination with the visceral juggernaut that is their incredible live show. Delivering earth shattering beats and buzz-saw bass, the five-piece drum and bass outfit have been destroying audiences across the world for the past two years, making them one of the Summer Sound System’s must-see acts. Back on the deck-bound tip ARMAND VAN HELDEN will also be making a transatlantic trip to thump out his notorious blend of big beat, house and hip-hop, plucking some rare treats from his legendary record box. Shaping up to be yet another definitive moment in music, 2008’s Summer Sound System is leading the way for UK dance events and recruiting the cream of the current crop for this spectacular show. With UK club culture’s finest exponents including Annie Mac, Black Ghosts, Sinden & Herve, Luciano, Meat Katie and many many more, all ready to drop the musical equivalent of Valhalla, the scene is set for exceptional adventure in music across 2 days in May. To contain theses hordes of wild dance and electro beasts, Gatecrasher has meticulously crafted 20 unique, individual stages to cater for each divine variety of dance music and all manner of festival goers, ranging from the main stream of the main stage to the classic Crasher arena that will feature a host of legends including Paul Van Dyk, John 00 Fleming, Mauro Piccoto and Hernan Cattaneo. There will also be the Hard House communion of Storm, the filthy grooves of the Cement arena, the illuminating Hardcore Heaven, the glitterball vibes of Dirty Disco and the essential 20 Years Of Acid House arena, which boasts a line-up that is a veritable who’s who of dance music legends. Industrious promoters and music moguls such as Northern Techo Monkeys DIRTY DISCO, ZANE LOWE and TIGA will also be hosting their own arenas whilst Metropolis and One Nation take charge of the urban flavours. The super cool Ed Banger label will be bringing a mêlée of French tech wizardry to the show with old favourites Hed Kandi and Fantazia returning for late night mayhem. VIPs can also look forward to the nostalgic sounds of Sean Rowley’s Guilty Pleasures… Music aside, Summer Sound System will be upping the ante promising an unforgettable spectacle. Introducing Boutique Camping, to give proceedings the authentic festival feel missing from so many other dance events, a 24-hour market place, with gourmet food stalls and out of town shopping, plus an onsite diary room, supersonic fairground and an incredible feast of additional adventures. Facilities will be second to none with secure onsite lockers, plentiful cash machines, Ibiza angels to massage away your aching limbs and even karaoke for the wannabe starlets. With a nod to the past and a foot in the future this will be the ultimate event for the discerning clubber and all round music lover. As the first major festival of the year it’s the perfect date to kick start your summer. A cast that crosses indie, dance and urban this is set to mark a new chapter for Gatecrasher and set the stage for their greatest ever show.
