SW4 Keeps on Giving and Reveals…Afrojack

With full UK festival exclusives coming from Armin van Buuren and Boys Noize [Live], the only London show of 2013 from Eric Prydz, a huge homecoming for Example and the first ever back to back performance ever seen in the UK from Carl Cox and Loco Dice, the South West Four 10th Anniversary line-up is already busting at the seams. However with all this representing just the tip of the SW4 iceberg and with over forty acts still to be announced they have unleashed the biggest collection of acts announced so far this year, all of which will ensure the 2013 instalment of South West Four is one London will never forget…

Saturday

The double Grammy Award winning, platinum selling producer Afrojack will be entertaining us on the Saturday at SW4 it has been announced. This is a rare chance to see the Dutch phenomenon in the capital and the chart topping, crowd slaying icon is a massive bonus to the already awe-inspiring line-up for SW4’s 10th Anniversary. His skills are some of the most sought after in the world and with all his success it has allowed him to form his own imprint ‘Wall Recordings’ giving him a platform to release his own material and provide a stepping stone to upcoming artists. This will be Afrojack’s first appearance since last summer in London and his only festival performance in the capital for 2013! With a career spanning three decades and showing no signs of slowing down, Paul Oakenfold is the elite statesman of British electronic music. Luckily for you, he is back at South West Four for the first time since his emotional homecoming back in 2010. Never afraid of pushing boundaries, Paul has enjoyed countless standout moments during his incredible career including help shape the infamous ‘Madchester’ scene of the late 80s, produce an album for U2 and pioneer the explosion of dance music in America. Mark Knight also makes a welcome return to South West Four and this will be his fourth performance at SW4 in the past five years! In 2010 Mark hosted a Toolroom Knights stage at SW4, whilst in 2009 and 2012 he drew massive crowds to the main stage. The talented young Scandinavian Orjan Nilsen will also be making his SW4 debut. He shot to the worlds attention in 2011 when he stormed into the DJ Mag top 100 chart at #49 and an IDMA nomination for ‘Best Breakthrough DJ’ soon followed. Alongside them is the man who hails from deepest, darkest Cologne, Roman Boer has been making deep and tech house for the best part of fifteen years. Better known by his stage name Tocadisco will also make an appearance being his only London festival show this year, make sure you get to his tent with plenty of time to spare.

Sunday

Groove Armada are making their South West Four debut. Marking this as their first London festival performance outside of Lovebox in over a decade, Andy Cato and Tom Findlay have certainly seen it and done it all over the last eighteen years. In that time they have managed to run club nights, conceptualise festivals and not to mention release eight studio albums! Those LPs  have been jam-packed full of bonafide hits, like the Grammy nominated ‘Superstylin’, which was shortlisted on Mixmag’s ‘Greatest Dance Track of All Time’ poll. Joining them is Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs (or TEED if you feel the need to abbreviate) is one of the most fascinating, over-the-top British talents to emerge in recent years. Having released an EP through Greco-Roman (partially run by Joe Goddard of Hot Chip / The 2 Bears), TEED subsequently got picked up by label giant Polydor to release his first full length album ‘Trouble’ last summer. He is always on point in the studio, with productions that fluctuate between jungle rhythms and dance floor anthems with pop sensibilities, he is a great addition. Pete Tong is the world’s undisputed ambassador for electronic music. It’s quite a title, but one that is whole heartily deserved. Having been broadcasting on BBC Radio 1 since 1991, he has become widely acclaimed across the world as the tastemaker for dance music. Now in 2013, with a brand new high profile Ibizan residency soon to be announced, regular trips to the states for high profile gigs, and a global touring schedule to make your eyes water, not to mention single, remix and compilation releases abound, Pete has never been more important. He is a real favourite at the festival, and we are expecting another essential performance. The 2 Bears will be gracing us with their presence and after the debut album ‘Be Strong’ came out last year on Southern Fried Records. With Joe back on Hot Chip duties last summer, this year marks the bears coming out of hibernation
