Electric Elephant First Line Up Details

4th Feb 2011

Returning for a fourth bash in 2011, Electric Elephant, the hit boutique
festival in Croatia's Adriatic coast moves from its late summer slot to
mid-July (14th – 18th), where it’s been expanded to a five-day,
five-night event that blurs the boundaries between festival and holiday.
The line-up for 2011 is taking shape, and we’re now able to announce the
first of the stellar bunch of DJs and artists who’ll be performing at
Europe’s most intimate party destination with the festival fixed as the
jewel in Petrcane’s clubbing crown.

Heading an unbeatable DJ line-up is Chicago’s house legend Derrick
Carter. He’s joined by Detroit hotshot Kyle Hall, Bok Bok head honcho
one of the UK’s hottest labels Night Slugs, party starters The Glimmers
& Horse Meat Disco plus underground house hero Luke Solomon and hosts
The Unabombers

Andrew Weatherall and Sean Johnston’s A Love From Outer Space emerges
from the basement vibes of London’s The Drop into the Adriatic sunshine
bringing their eclectic mix of dub, proto-house, post-punk, Krautrock,
disco, rock'n'roll and electronic oddities to both land and sea!

Other clubs upping sticks for the occasion include Glasgow’s finest
Melting Pot with Simon Cordiner and Andrew Pirie. Seb Chew and Leo
Greenslade will be bringing their West London weekly YoYo night on
holiday with a bulging suitcase of hip hop, dubstep, garage/grime, house
and bassline-heavy music. Lowlife bring the good times with Bill
Brewster, Michael Cook, Benoit Raymond and Mark Treadwell. Kelvin
Andrews & Balearic Mike bring their Down To The Sea & Back to life in
the Adriatic too.

Representing Electric Elephant’s Mancunian roots are THE WAREHOUSE
PROJECT’s Krysko and Tramp’s Will TRAMP!, while Dom Servini (Wah Wah
45's) Nathan Gregory Wilkins (History Clock) Capracara (DFA/Soul Jazz)
and Fabrizio (Clap Rules) complete the DJ line-up as it stands, with
many more to be added soon.

On the live front – because this festival is more than a fiesta of
amazing DJ talent – we have Stones Throw’s finest purveyor of the fresh
beat James Pants plus DJ/singer/producer/multi-instrumentalist and GILES
PETERSON signing Ben Westbeech. There’s also Manchester’s STAR SLINGER –
a man who’s been garnering J Dilla comparisons for his cut-up R&B tunes
plus Italian disco-house party-starters Clap Rules.

Add to all of this 10 Boat Parties this year hosted by the likes of
ANDREW WETHERALL & Sean Johnston, Yo Yo, Kelvin Andrews & Balearic Mike
alongside the annual cruises from Electric Chair and Lowlife, the
line-up is already looking tantalisingly good.

Tickets are available now, priced at £85.00 for the full, five-night
