Snowside

There’s something very special coming your way in March, which I offically announced on the show last week.

Imagine Remix Night, but a fuel injected turbo version with nitrous oxide boosters. Then imagine the Secret Garden Party being involved. Then take the whole merry package and airlift it onto the top of the Alps.

Then imagine the brilliant music programming of Snowbombing (which I do love) but with the alpine WOW factor of Tignesfest (which Snowbombing, for all its musical brilliance, just doesn’t have in Mayrhoffen).

What you’re imagining is Snowside festival, the mother of all winter week-long parties, in Nassfeld, Austria, right on the Italian border, from 23-28 Mar 2009

As part of all this, I’ll be hosting all three rooms in the club underneath the town’s Cube Hotel. Here’s what I’ve put together to fill them:

Room One: Indie electro filth with the likes of Alex Metric, South Central, Kris Menace, James Priestley, and some really rather large and brilliant French producers I can’t unveil yet plus a big headliner to be announced.

Room 2: Live room, with Infadels, Slagsmalsklubben, Kissy Sell Out, Evil Nine, The Losers, Japanese Popstars, Man Like Me, and more to be announced.

Room 3: D&B/breaks room with DJ Fresh, Brookes Brothers, Breakfastaz, Ctrl Z, Rennie Pilgrem, Matrix & Futurebound, Silent Witness and me doing a D&B set (man, I’m looking forward to that).

There’s an apres ski terrace too, where you’ll see some of the bands DJing.

And on top of all that, you have The Secret Garden staging the ultimate parties at a brilliant Italian Army WW2 Barracks up the mountain, on the Italian border, with a DJ both in a machine gun pillbox!

There’s also a big one off party in some big outdoor space, where you’ll see the cream of the crop DJing, and probably passing out in the booth (thanks to some strong German beer, combined with the fact that altitude plays merry hell with the brain!).

More than a chance to see some great bands and DJs in a breathtakingly beautiful place, and go skiing and boarding to your heart’s content in the day, it’ll be a chance to meet and greet, drink Gluvine and Jagermeister and fall over in the snow with some of the nicest people in dance music.

Snowbombing and Tignesfest last season were the most fun things I’ve ever done, and this is going to be even better. This is shaping up to be the most fun week of our lives, so fuck the credit crunch, and come on out with us – you deserve it!

Keep an eye on the Update for everything you need to know about Snowside in the coming weeks.
