Les Ardentes 2011
Tomorrow Les Ardentes kicks off again. First time in 4 years I’m not going the complete 4 days, but only friday and saturday. Luckely enough those two days are the most relevant to the blog and should be in the agenda of all your electronic music lovers! Here are a few artists that are on my list!
FRIDAY
Adrian Lux, I’m clueless on how his other music is but I’m completely in love with his track “Teenage Crime”, so who knows what he has in store.
>> Adrian Lux – Teenage Crime
Goose, watched them at Werchter so I’m probably a fool for going … again! But the performance they did at Werchter was brilliant and I would love some more of that action!
>> Goose – Words (Live at Werchter 2011)
Yuksek bailed on the pukkelpop crowed 2 years ago by not making it on time. Let’s hope he makes it this time. I’m not familiar yet with his new album, but as long as we hear Tonight we are good to go!
>> Yuksek Live at 4sans
Lektroluv Records is also taking over a room (similar like Planet Turbo did last year). 100% Belgian electro madness with The Subs, Highbloo, Lektroluv, Mumbai Science. But in all honesty, how good they even are, you should go and watch Agoria, Joris Voorn and Technasia in the Aquarium room. Lektroluv Records is represented at most of the big events so you’ll get plenty of chances in Belgium to see them. Go techno!
>> Technasia at I Love Techno 2006
If you’re not feeling “electro banger” or “techno rave” there is always VILLA and Mustang, disco pop electro! Also guarantee for a big party but without the ADHD feeling at the end.
>> Villa ft. The New Sins – Beats of Love (Live on Villa Vanthilt)
SATURDAY
I’m going to be short about this one. Why? I’m not very familliar with most of the names that day. I know what kind of music I can expect but that’s about it. So I’ll probably discover lots of likes and dislikes that day. That’s what’s so great about Les Ardentes, discovering new music and not finding stuff you already heard a million times.
The aquarium room is all about dubstep that night. Darkstar, AKS Live, Dj Hatcha, Jakwow, Flux Pavillion. Enough dubstep names to get the hype going!
>> AKS ft. Lola – Give it back
My favourite stage that night will defenitly be Red Bull Elektropedia. Club Cheval and Sound Pellegrino right after each other, this will be one hell of a party.
>> Club Cheval at Social Club
As you can see, lot’s of music to explore at Les Ardentes. If I’m not mistaking there are still a few tickets left. So hop on that train and get your asses over there!
