ELTON D
[UK EXCLUSIVE // BRAZIL // LIVE]
Freaky Dancing follows on from successfully launching DJ Murphy's UK career, with a UK exclusive live performance from Brazil's hottest live techno act, Elton D. Elton D has a string of releases on European, US and Brazilian techno labels, with remix work for the like of Marco Nastic scheduled for release this Autumn. Elton D's a real talent for the future, remember you saw him here first.

ROLAND THE BASTARD
[STAY UP FOREVER // BIONIC ORANGE // INFECTED]
One of banging techno's loudest exponent's Roland The Bastard get's a shot at the University after he almost demolished the Cosmic Ballroom last year. Roland?s been one of the most influential figures on the underground techno scene for most of the last decade, heading up both the Bionic Orange and Infected record labels, and working closely with the Stay Up Forever crew, as well as pushing his hard percussive techno sound both as a producer and highly energetic DJ.
If you're wondering what he plays, his catchphrase should give you a clue... WELL BASTARD LOUD

JULIAN LIBERATOR
[STAY UP FOREVER // 4 X 4 // ULTRAFUNK]
One third of the infamous Liberator Sound System, and Stay Up Forever Colective founder, Julian and his Stay Up Forver cohorts pretty much created and defined the London Acid Techno sound over the last decade. Julian?s much more eclectic a DJ than that though, spending half his time living in Brazil and absorbing musical influences from all over the world, Julian will be taking up the warm up duties for the night to give him the freedom to show off the more electro style sound of his ULTRAFUNK label.

[Lab 4 // Queen of Clubs]
As one half of Lab 4, Adam was part of arguably the UK's most popular live hard dance act for over a decade until Lab 4 called it quits a couple of years ago.
