DJ/Producer extraordinaire Kim Fai has also been added to the line up, performing on the Main Stage he will be joined by Serge Santiago and Tom Neville aka Retro/Grade whose trademark modern day Italo/Disco has garnered them a huge fanbase across the globe, plus the latest new addition to the Lets Go Crazy Arena is Sound Of London.
As the brainchild of 21 year old promoter Callum Negus Fancey, Lets Go Crazy has a fresh history of putting on parties in the biggest and best venues such as Brixton Academy, Ministry of Sound and Matter to name a few. Their line-ups are diverse but focus on electronica, dub-step and drum n bass and have always created an indoor festival vibe rather than a straight up club atmosphere. Over the last 2 years Let’s Go Crazy have also hosted special pop-up parties at Rob da Bank’s Bestival and Camp Bestival festivals but now the brand elevates to its own arena at one of this Summers hottest dance events L.E.D presents deadmau5 Live @ Victoria Park, acts performing in the Lets Go Crazy Arena include Nero, Skrillex, Modestep, DJ Hype, DJ Fresh, Jaguar Skills, Netsky, LGC Resident DJ’s plus more to be added.
First up is the internationally renowned artiste and uber producer Mark Ronson. There are no limits when it comes to the success of this multi-talented Brit award winner who has worked with some of the biggest names in music including Amy Winehouse, Christina Aguilera and Adele. Another chart topper joining the bill is Calvin Harris, the No.1 selling artiste whose hits include ‘Something For The Weekend’ and ‘Dance Wiv Me’ which saw him collaborate with Dizzee Rascal will be performing a DJ set on the Main Outdoor stage. Next up we have one of the UK’s biggest musical figureheads, BBC Radio 1’s Zane Lowe and multi award winning dubstep duo Nero. The dominating sound over the last 12 months has undoubtedly been dubstep and Nero are at the forefront, having scooped the award for ‘Best Dubstep Act’ in the beatport Awards and being signed to the Chase & Status label, 2011 is already set to eclipse last year’s success.
The infamous Swedish House Mafia are set to tear it up when they descend upon Balado. Huge individually and riotous together, the superstar trio of DJ’s Steve Angello, Sebastian Ingrosso and Axwell take dance music to another level when performing as a collective. They stormed the charts with Tinie Tempah last year providing the unofficial soundtrack to the summer with dance floor anthem ‘Miami 2 Ibiza’ and now it’s time to take on T in the Park.
Leftfield pioneered the electronic music scene of 90’s Britain with seminal debut album ‘Leftism’ which fused dub, breakbeat and techno. The album was shortlisted for the Mercury Music Prize and reached Q Magazine’s 100 Greatest British Albums ever. Famous for touring with an outrageously loud sound system which created headlines in Amsterdam and caused the ceiling of the Brixton Academy to crumble, Neil Barnes is set to make the blue walls of the Slam Tent throb as he single-handedly brings the Leftfield experience to the masses this summer.
This man is so on top of his game that he hardly needs an introduction. Deadmau5, the 28 year old Canadian, is an electro house producer with a big difference. There’s the large cartoon mouse head costume of course, but there’s also the artist, the technical whizzkid, the Grammy Award nominee and the outstanding reputation for being the most forward thinking person in electronic music right now. Killer clubland tracks such as ‘Ghosts N Stuff’ and ‘I Remember’ are sure to form part of a highly visual set that will go down in history. The man has his finger on the pulse, he creates the pulse, he IS the pulse.
