Matt
Darey News, reviews & Top 10 June 2005
Festival Season
is upon us
I just started the first leg of my USA
album tour with the first launch party
at 10:15 in SF
which was an amazing experience for me. I’m also
really looking forward to the launch party at my new
residency at Avalon
in LA on June 3rd
and playing in Texas for the first time. Straight
after that I’m touring Australia & New Zealand
from 24th June
to 3rd July stopping
by Brisbane, 2 gigs in Sydney, Wellington,
Perth and Adelaide before flying back
to the USA for more
tour dates. If you wanna hook up with me
on the tour then go to www.mattdarey.com

Summer in the UK is well and truly in swing
and forecasters are predicting temperatures to rival
those of glorious 2003.
The arrival of blue skies, ice cream vans and fake
tan can mean only one thing… it’s time to take trance
out of hot, dark rooms, and into the great outdoors.
Glastonbury and its ‘dance
village’ has been and gone, and will be
taking a break next year, but fear not... there’s
still plenty of opportunity to ‘ave it large al fresco.
1st - 3rd July
sees the Tidy Summer Camp
at Pontins Holiday Centre, Hemsby-On-Sea,
near Great Yarmouth. Tidy might be more associated
with filthy hard dance, but as their Weekender
in March proved,
they can turn their hand to trance with the best of
them. Big names are M.I.K.E.
Push, the massively respected producer,
Johan Gielen,
the Dutch tech-trance DJ who stole the show at the
recent Seriousworld II
at Canvas, London, Judge
Jules and Riley
& Durrant. Expect a young up-for-it
crowd with a take no prisoners attitude to fun.
Next up is Tribal Gathering
on 16th July in
Luton, Bedfordshire. Strictly an acid
house event, it is included here because it is for
a VERY GOOD CAUSE.
All DJs are appearing for free, and all profits are
being donated to the crisis in Sudan. Dig deep
kids and get back to the old-school with Danny
Rampling and others.
Global Gathering
goes from one to two days this year, and 29th
and 30th July see Long
Marston Airfield near Stratford Upon
Avon open its doors to a galaxy of musical stars.
The Global stage
is where it’s at – Paul Oakenfold
spins on Friday –
but it’s Saturday
when the real action takes place… German megastar
Paul van Dyk,
technical wizard Eddie Halliwell,
everyone’s favourite Armin
van Buuren, Ferry
Corsten, Judge
Jules, Jon O’Bir
and London-based Above
& Beyond unite to satisfy even the
most ardent trance fanatic. Weekend ticket holders
will also have campsite access.
Last of the UK dancethons is Creamfields
on August Bank Holiday at the Old Liverpool
Airfield. Scooping ‘Best
Dance Festival’ in the UK
Festival Awards, Creamfields
is one of the UK’s biggest and best loved festivals.
This year the Cream &
GoodGreef Arena host Paul
Van Dyk, Ferry
Corsten, Armin
Van Buuren, Judge
Jules, Eddie halliwell,
Above & Beyond,
Adam Sheridan,
Nu Nrg (live), and special guest Paul
Oakenfold. As if that weren’t enough, K90,
who delivered a show-stopping hard trance set at the
Tidy Weekender, plays a live set in the
Tidy Arena. Plus
of course the Beyonce Castle, podium dancing
and circus performers.
The UK might have the best club scene in
the world, but other European countries are
actually really rather good at outdoor trance. Germany
celebrates ten years of it's first major open-air
rave – Nature One –
held 30th July to 1st August
in Hunsrück. The
Open Air Floor hosts Paul
Van Dyk, Ferry
Corsten and Blank
& Jones on Friday,
and Tomcraft,
Kai
Tracid,
Westbam, Tillmann
Uhrmacher and Nu
Nrg on Saturday.
The Dance Valley Festival
In Amsterdam on 5th
and 6th August is another one that’s upgrading
from a single day event. Held in a natural valley
providing the perfect acoustics for loud music,
Dance Valley is Europe’s largest open
air dance festival. Eddie
Halliwell, Above
& Beyond, Ronald
van Gelderen, and
Ian Betts spin on Friday,
but it’s all about Saturday…
with Paul van Dyk and
Ferry Corsten
on the main stage, Armin
van Buuren, Perry
O’Neill, Remy,
and M.I.K.E. on
the Armada stage, and Randy
Katana, Adam Sheridan,
Ian Betts,
E-Craig, Nu Nrg
live, and America’s
Christopher Laurence on the Eurogrooves
stage.
Last up is Mystery Land,
Europe’s oldest and probably most famous outdoor
festival, and this year held on
27th August in Haarlem, Holland.
Three stages (count them… three) feature the cream
of European artists, alongside some lesser-known but
no less talented producers.
Paul Oakenfold,
Marco V, Johan
Gielen and tech house / trance DJ
Benny Benassi appear on the Open Air
stage, the Black Hole Recordings stage
(Tiësto’s label) hosts Judge
Jules, Cor Fijneman,
production duo Mark Norman,
Mojado (Live)
and Mr Sam, and
production legends Randy
Katana and E-Craig
play sets on the Madhouse stage.
And if summer fails to appear, worry not. Next month’s
trance pages will give you low-down on
August in Ibiza… where it’s always summer.
Just how much trance can peak season squeeze
in?
