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.

Renowned leaders of the pack, the first acts out of the gate give you a steer on just what you can expect from one of the country’s best loved music brands. With 2008 set to celebrate two decades of acid house, the back drop is set for a true celebration of electronic music past, present and future. Gatecrasher was a defining moment in the history of club culture and The Summer Sound System 2008 will see them back on centre stage with a spell binding line up, magical production and fresh, new vision. Returning to the site of summer’s past, the event will take place over 2 fun filled days in Northampton, on Saturday 24th and Sunday 25th May. The bank holiday blow out will be peppered with surprises and a dizzyingly diverse selection of the world’s finest artists and talent all with the highest production values the UK has to offer. First up, the world-renowned THE CHEMICAL BROTHERS confirm a headline slot on Sunday’s main stage with their unique blend of psychedelia, and electronic block rockin’ beats. With only a handful of UK live dates planned this year this may be a rare chance to catch the Grammy Award winning festival heroes and their unique, electrifying live performance. Renowned for their incendiary live performances, seminal electro/rock band THE PRODIGY will be headlining Saturday’s shindig with their unique blend of brutal punk-rock riffs and dark, voodoo beats. One of just 4 UK festival experiences this promises to be radically different from recent shows, and will be an unmissable showcase of classic and new tracks, for the in demand band who last played live in the UK 2 years ago. Joining them on the Saturday will be the twisted and sexy post-punk brilliance of Brazilian sextet CSS. Their fabulously kooky pop and colourful performances have made them one of the buzz bands of the year and a MUST for 2008. Raising the stakes for Sunday and further cementing this as a unique offering, will be Mercury Prize winning DIZZEE RASCAL with his exotic blend of MCing, conventional rap, grime and ragga. An exceptional talent for an exceptional festival – and just the tip of the iceberg! The A list acts don’t stop there. The next exceptional guests come in the form of sampling, experimental, grime, cutting and pasting Soulwax Nite Versions A.k.a. Expect samples ranging from The Gossip to James Brown to The Klaxons! Two days of must-see performances are guaranteed with a giddy array of artists already confirmed for this weekend musical marathon across 20 arenas. SIMIAN MOBILE DISCO, DIGITALISM (LIVE), NEW YOUNG PONY CLUB, TIGA, AUDIO BULLY’S, BLOC PARTY (DJ SET), THE WHIP, PETE TONG, RONI SIZE, DJ MARKY, ZANE LOWE AND DJ YODA are all on board for this exceptional misadventure in music, with more big names still to come.

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 look forward to the sounds of Sean Rowley’s Guilty Pleasures, which sets the scene for one of the best party packages on the planet. Music aside, Summer Sound System will be upping the ante with the entire event spectacle.

This should be a belter of a night, might even come out of retirment for this one. The old CTW meet ups at Crasher NEC used to be awesome, they were real clubbing nights and we used to get a good 40 or 50 CTWers there. What do you reckon James, is it time to get that flashing cyberdog alien t-shirt and those glow sticks out again? http://www.clubbingnetwork.com/cgi-bin/Ima...;img=32&tt=
