Exit’s Main Stage’s After 2am program kicks off with a big bang, with the hottest dubstep movement of the moment – Magnetic Man. Pushing boundaries and forcing dubstep to the mainstream, the trio features Skream, Benga and Artwork. Most recognisably their track ‘I Need Air’ featuring Angela Hunte topped charts worldwide, whilst their self titled debut album impressed even the dubstep purists. Magnetic Man live on Exit’s Main Stage – what more can we say, but BAMM!Exit is also renowned for having the best electronic stage in the world – The Dance Arena – as stated by all who have been and performed, including heavyweights Guetta, Tengalia, Coxy, Eric Prydz, Angello & Ingross and Sasha. 2011’s Dance Arena announces another wave of names to the line up, bringing DJs that have not played Exit before. DJ Sneak makes his first ever appearance and will be bringing his box of trademark deep and disco filtered house grooves. Recognized as the disco filter innovator, his productions and musical style has maintained his status as one of the Top 100 DJs in the world. Dynamic in style – from furious banging Chicago tracks and Latin tribal beats, to disco filtered reworks of retro classics and melodic rhythms to suit your soul.
The Dance Arena also features creative visionary and electronic music icon Carl Craig who celebrates his twentieth year of Planet E, the Grammy-nominated composer, world-class DJ and ambassador of Detroit is sure to excite his fans playing in the fortress moat. Joining him will be Marco Carola, global ambassador of Italian techno and Minus mainstay, he is one of the driving forces behind techno’s permeation into the world’s dance scene. Groove ridden techno is on the cards with him alongside newcomer and Loco Dice’s protégé tINI, who’s Ibiza season last year was a raging success and who’s set to wow the Dance Arena alight with her unique set. Deeply. Percussively. Impulsively.
