Tiga
The modern master of Electro-pop, and head-honcho of Turbo Recordings, Tiga remains very much at the head of the dance-music table. Whether it's his remixes of Scissor Sisters, Nelly or Felix da Housecat, or winning countless awards for his 2007 classic "Sexor", or collaborating with Soulwax and Zombie Nation, you can always count on Tiga to be a good few strides ahead of the pack. Catch his trademark sexual sound for one of his increasingly rare UK performances!

Busy P
Culpable for creating the modern musical monster that is "Ed Banger", Pedro Winter has a lot to be thanked for (even if only for the fact that he managed disco-deities Daft Punk at the peak of their career). Not content with helping forge the careers of the likes of Justice, Sebastian, Uffie and Feadz, his own productions and remixes are amongst the best on his cutting edge stable. Everyone in electro sends their shiz to Busy P, whether on his label or not, so make sure you catch this flamboyant frenchman to see what everyone else will be playing in 12 months time. Essential.

DJ Medhi
Friends with Busy P since 1997, back then they were already trying to meld Hip-Hop and electronic sounds into a new hybrid sound. Just goes to show how far ahead of the pack they were, and they're still light-years ahead of your average DJ. In his own words: "I like to be the DJ, I love it so much. I love to try new things. You would never get into this business to be bored, or you would hope not." With that sort of attitude you know that his sets are not going to be a pedestrian stroll through the latest "top 10 of what's hot", and his searing technical ability truly sets him apart as one of the most revered DJs on the electro scene.

Brodinski
He only burst onto the scene in late 2007, but a quick perusal at his gig list shows have very far this young Parisian gentleman has already come; before he comes to our Mancunian underground labyrinth he will have done an Australian tour, plus gigs in Kuala Lumpar, Singapore, Bangkok and Berlin! His exciting mash of electro, techno and house have left the biggest players in several scenes salivating in anticipation of his latest bombs, and there is no greater testament to his talent than being signed to Tiga's Turbo Recordings.

Special Live Guests: The Whip
One of the most exciting bands out of Manchester in the last decade, The Whip continue to be amongst amongst a select few bands that can rock the rave as well as any DJ. We shouldn't be surprised considering that the majority of their output has come on key dance labels such as Kitsune and Southern Fried rather than the more traditional, indie labels. The biggest talent out of Salford since Paul Scholes, they always electrify when they play a home-coming set at the Warehouse.
Grum
Fresh out of Leeds, but sounding like he's from a Parisian banlieu, Grum proves that in our post-myspace age traditional borders mean nothing, and talent is every-king. With his remixes being rinsed on Radio 1, and firmly kept in the box by the biggest-hitters, it isn't hard to see why his star is soaring into the stratosphere.

Breakbot
Another fabulous Frenchman signed to Ed Banger, he comes with a more subtle style that swims with shimmering melodies and intricate synth-work. As his bio describes it, Breakbot "is basically Justice if they wrote songs about the beach and summertime and pool parties, instead of the whole epic religious vibe". Incorporating elements of electro, commercial dance, funk and pop, they've won acclaim throughout the world. And we don't just mean the crowds either. Other DJs love his disregard for convention as much as the wild eyed kids moshing in nightclubs. And don't even get us started on his original production work.

DSL
Yet another WHP first, DSL comes straight out of Vienna with the sort of talent that made Mozart a household name. After starting in the mid-eigthies with lonesome turntable hometraining, winning local dmc-dj-competitions, he has had a long but stop-start career due to the fact that he always shunned the lime-light. He won "Best DJ" in Germany in 1995 then promptly gave up for a while - his presence on this line-up has as much to do with his friends not allowing him to keep his awesome talent under a bushel! Bringing the hip-hop aesthetic to a plethora of music that betrays his length of time in the industry, his sets are a highly original take on anything he turns his turntables to!

Andro
One of just 4 residents who have been at the Warehouse since it started, Andro's hard work and talent are paying off with tunes being signed left-right-and-centre on a plethora of electro, minimal and dub-tech labels. With international bookings starting to come in for the production pairing of Andro+Dimit, it looks like he won't be playing the support slots for much longer.
