electric picnic lineup update-bodytonic

Two lineup updates in one day for Electric Picnic. With only 7 weeks to go the anticipation is building..

bodytonic today announced some additions to their festivities and it definitely compliments the already impressive list of artists and DJs that they had:

New Additions to bill : Vince Watson Live / Shed Live / David Holmes / Richard Fearless / Black Acid Live / Twin Kranes / Andy Votel / Republik DJs / Shock / FVF Records / Simon Conway / POGO DJs ( Eddie Brennan) / Mr Jones DJs / Reach / 174

Prins Thomas & Lindstrom will play a 4 hour set in the Twisted Pepper tent on the Saturday night.

Electric City's Giles Armstrong will be playing an old school set - like the one he played at our warehouse party last year.

Playing the Bernard Shaw tent on the Sunday Trusme is playing Live for the first ever time and hopefully a dj set too.

Just added to the Electric Picnic lineup is:

Grace Jones
Joan as Policewoman
Dan Deacon
Booka Shade
Deadmau5

Looks like fun. Will be interesting to see the crazy fun that Dan Deacon brings with him in a festival setting and of course Grace Jones will likely be the highlight of the entire weekend. See you there!

bodytonic @ electric picnic

this is where i'll be spending a lot of my time at this year's Electric Picnic.

The Bodytonic Village has an assortment of fine tuneage from around the world with the highlights for me being Diplo (saw him around 3 times at SXSW and had a blast every time), Kerri Chandler (have never managed to see this legend so this is a treat), The Count and Sinden, Modeselector, Roni Size/ Reprazent (hopefully covering some 'New Form's material), DJ Spinna, Stee Downes (label manager for Bodytonic label,Scribble, see below), Stereotonic DJs, Bodytonic Soundsystem, Christian Pommer/Drum Lesson and pretty much 90% of the lineup.

After being in Texas for 4 years or so I've been starved of a good dose of dance music so this should hit the spot. Nice one to the Bodytonic crew for putting this together. Top fun.

For some Scribble magic see here and here.

P.S. I'll be the grinning fool to the left of the speakers! :)
