SATURDAY 8 DECEMBER 2007, SILOSO BEACH @ SENTOSA, SINGAPORE
Singapore’s definitive annual dance festival is back! In royal tradition, ZoukOut goes for scale, bringing Zouk’s spirit and energy to the great outdoors and an even larger audience. Giving clubbers throughout the region a reason to party well into the morning, ZoukOut 2007 celebrates the surreal world in all it’s dream-like magic so gear up for the wonderful and weird!
First names of the stand out line up released! : Encompassing the sounds and genres that Zouk embraces through its various nights and 4 outlets; Zouk main room, Velvet Underground, Phuture and Wine Bar- ZoukOut 2007 showcases a broad spectrum of music and some of the freshest sounds in the world of electronica.
For the first time, legendary CARL COX will play at ZoukOut’s Main Arena! The undisputed king of original UK underground and godfather of UK techno is as explosive and energetic as ever, playing each gig with all his heart and soul - whether in a dingy small club or headlining major festivals.
Over at the Velvet Underground Arena, things take an interesting turn. Blasting out of the current French electro invasion and from Ed banger the label responsible for most of it and run by Daft Punk manager, Pedro Winter, comes a set from hot new freestyling B-girl Uffie, whose cute gangsta-schtick Pop The Glock won her critical acclaim, and who will take to the stage with her producer and beau DJ Feadz.
Also not to be missed at the Velvet arena is a set from international tastemaker and eclectic funk and soul meister - Gilles Peterson – yes that Gilles Peterson of BBC Radio One fame whose radio show, Worldwide regularly enjoys the highest web traffic of all the DJs there. A firm favourite in Velvet, he takes to the stage for the first time since 2001 with a secret surprise performer.
Also catch multi-platinum record seller and Yoruba Records label boss Osunlade who has built a reputation for deep nu-soul and quality house with tribal and African influences – and who says he will retire from DJing after his ZoukOut gig to pursue other interests.
Holding it down at the Mambo Jambo/ Hip-hop arena, Miami’s own three-time DMC World Championship winner, DJ Craze, the mad scratch scientist who slices and dices beats into a breathtaking sonic concoction and who has been lauded by hip-hop aficionados for years on end, plus freestyle champ MC Armanni whose distinctly powerful and diverse style of lyrical delivery has won him kudos worldwide.
Finally the lineup would not be complete without the Live Stage featuring Singapore and regional bands – chart-topping Electrico and new outfit Caracel soon to release their debut album are just 2 of the 7 bands for the night!
