** SMIRNOFF NIGHT VISION COMES TO KENT FOR 1ST TIME FOR TUNNEL VISION **Smirnoff is pleased to announce details of
Tunnel Vision, a unique event set to hit a Napoleonic Fort near Chatham in Kent, which has been awarded a £2,000 bursary through the Smirnoff Night Vision® initiative. Harvesting the very best of electronic music, nightlife luminaries including Radio 1’s Rob da Bank, Cream’s head honcho James Barton, club promotions agency Don’t Panic and Mark Ronson’s agent Cris Hearn has voted Tunnel Vision as one of the UK’s most original nights.
The Fort, dating back to the 19th Century and protected by the English Heritage, will play host to one of the most unique music events seen in the UK this year on
Saturday 1st August. A day/night event of epic proportions that combines the history of
Fort Horsted with cutting edge production, two rooms of quality underground sounds and an outdoor arena showcasing classic 19th Century pastimes.
Visitors will walk over the drawbridge and through the gatehouse into a venue presenting the
finest visuals, lightshows and soundsystems whilst the best new DJs play house, techno, dubstep and breaks over two rooms. Upon leaving the Fort and entering the grounds, visitors will be transported back in time with
Napoleonic military re-enactments,
hog-roasts and an abundance of
historic shenanigans.
Tunnel Vision follows a successful series of events in London during April 2009. The promoters behind The Hothouse Revue, People Are Germs, DJ Flicks and 3D Disco Goes 360 were awarded four London bursaries of £10k and, seperately, organised nights across the city featuring, rollerskates, 1930’s decadence, cinematics and 3D visuals in a 360 environment.
Rob da Bank comments "I am very taken with the Smirnoff Night Vision initiative for promoters. I started out as promoter putting on Sunday Best events with a £1.99 entrance fee, and now have my own Bestival and Camp Bestival festivals for up to 35,000 people. I'm delighted to help select some of the country's most unique and original new music promoters."
More Smirnoff Night Vision bursaries will be available in later in 2009. To find out more about the initiative and how to get involved check out

** GLOBAL UNDERGROUND’S JIM RIVERS, KITSUNE’S DAVID E. SUGAR & COCOON’S INXEC HEADLINE TUNNEL VISION! **Headlining Tunnel Vision will be three of the hottest new acts in electronic dance music scene; Jim Rivers, David E. Sugar and Inxec. Jim has had an incredible 2009 so far; touring the world in support of his Global Underground ‘Nu Breed’ compilation - a series specifically bought back for him having been responsible for launching the careers of Danny Howells, Steve Lawler, Sander Kleinenberg and Lee Burridge several years earlier! Born and bred in Maidstone but having spent the last few years living in Bristol, this will be his first gig in his home county since recently moving back to Kent. This will be his chance to show his home grown audience what he is capable of and why he is being tipped as the next big thing!
Signed to Kitsune, arguably the coolest label on the planet and home to the likes of Hot Chip, Bloc Party, Klaxons and Crystal Castles, David E Sugar is widely regarded as the latest outstanding new live electronic act to come from our shores. The past few months has seen David touring with La Roux having previously supported Calvin Harris and Deadmau5, whilst his Ministry Of Sound radio show (every Thursday at 8pm) goes from strength to strength. 2009 has also witnessed David release 52 tracks over 52 weeks, a world first, on his own imprint Oblio Recordings and makes his debut in Kent to headline our brand new Sunshine Stage.
Chris Sylvester aka Inxec is an English born, Berlin based producer & DJ who has created huge waves in the underground techno scene over the past four years. Signed to Sven Vath’s legendary Cocoon Recordings and rapidly becoming a definitive name worldwide, Inxec’s productions have gone straight into the record bags of Ricardo Villalobos, Richie Hawtin and Jay Haze to name a few, whilst his releases on Distinctive, Stock 5, Murmur, Renaissance and Contexterrier and remixes on Saved, Yoshitoshi and Kismet have meant Chris has played every seminal club on the planet from Fabric to Watergate. Coming to Tunnel Vision as our third and final headliner, Inxec is an outstanding purveyor of twisted tech house and a truly exciting addition to our lineup.

The Other Room will play havoc to monstrous basslines from DJs Dycey, J-Varn, Small Fry, Damn Right (Delta Connection), Jay Kenzo and Big Trouble with Adam French, Anthony Froom and Duncan K providing the sunset beats alongside David on the Sunshine Stage!
