As we enter the last 3 weeks before this massive 6 arena rave festival, we caught up with a few of the artists booked to entertain you as well as the promoters behind the event. Here they offer a few words as to what they're looking forward to and why this is going to re-define raves.

Global Energy is going to be wild! I honestly think this is the best venue thats come about since the golden days of The Sanctuary // Fast Track (When i was fingerpainting in school). And an event on this scale? Wicked crowd, wicked vibes, wicked music, wicked times...that almost rhymes" - DJ Gammer

Random Concept are always a wicked party giving the best line ups, production & vibes. If you have not been to one yet, you're missing out - MC Eksman

Global Energy at Rollerworld & Time, Derby is the start of a new era for Random Concept. This party looks set to be massive! - DJ Friction

It's good that all the factions of our scene are in one location - it's nice to see. It has the feel of the very first Universe - very exciting. It's also a pleasure to work with our European peers in collaboration with our own home grown peers Scorpio and Producer, where our common ground is to ensure that the paying rave has a great party - MC Ribbz

Global Energy will mark the dawning of a new era in rave history. It will be an event of truly epic proportions, reminiscent of the super raves of the 90's. Simply unmissable - Andy Massive

Really looking forward to Global Energy at the massive Rollerworld & Time. I've been away for a while - now I'm back I'm goner smash it up with Slipmatt - MC Charlie B

This event is going to set standards for the future of all the dance scenes. Covering every aspect of dance music, I know where Im gonna be on the 3rd May. All roads lead to Derby for Global Energy. See ya there - DJ Phantasy

Wicked lineup and a dope venue! I can't wait to smash it - MC Whizzkid

Can't wait for Global Energy. Hardcore rocks arenas but when you put it in a tent, watch it blow! - MC Static

And now we corner arguably the most successful promotions team of the modern rave era. Having started HTID, Raver Baby and Banished from scratch as well as supporting Random Concept along with Garry K & MC Presha these two have been working behind the scenes for a long, long time preparing for this massive event.

This is the biggest thing we have ever taken on as partners - I feel this is the right step for our promotions & will be one hell of a rave! I can't wait to see 6 distinct arenas packed with the best ravers in the UK. Bang! - Hixxy

Global Energy is brewing to be the event of the Year a perfect venue for such a massive dance music event. We've had a massive response for this and i believe its the right time for such a collaboration.
