DJ BONEBREAKER aka BROOKLYN BOUNCE,

Germany www.brooklynbounce.com | www.mentalmadness.de
 

The Bounce is back! Germanys favourite dance hit producer and electronic music icon touches down in Vancouver after a three year absence. He may have sold millions of records and been responsible for one of Germanys most successful Hard Trance record labels, Mental Madness, but for him its always been about the music; its the most important thing in his life. A multi-talented artist, he has a reputation for being the ultimate crowd-pleaser, party-rocker DJ. Be it Trance, Techno, Hands-Up, or Hardstyle, Bonebreaker knows how to make people dance.

 

From old favourites like Born to Bounce, Club Bizarre, and Bring it Back, to newer material like The Recall Theme, and Louder & Prouder, Brooklyn Bounce has been behind the music that any party-goer would recognize. Over a decade after the first release, Bonebreaker is still going from strength to strength giving the people what they want: catchy hooks, hard beats, and a groove that is altogether infectious! So join us as we welcome one of the worlds masters of the Harder Sound back to our city and get ready to bounce!

DJ THERA fka BRENNAN & HEART,

Holland www.djthera.com | www.theracords.com
 

The producer behind Brennan & Heart, DJ Theras projects are best described as the beginnings of the Hardstyle sound. Ground-breaking tunes like Fatal Invasion, Acid Revenge, and We are Possessed embody the essence of that music: Hard kicks, grating synths, and otherworldly stabs the hallmarks of good Hardstyle! Defqon 1, Q-Base, and other parties across Europe have felt his power behind the decks and on the dancefloor.

 

Now as he turns his attention to North America, Thera is eager to educate and bring a completely original sound, culminating in the launch of his own record label: Theracords! With Theracords, this artist has focused on one major goal: putting out passionate, hard dance music; nothing more and nothing less than that! With years of production and DJ experience, with Acid, Hard Trance and Tek influences, Thera will give the crowd exactly what the want: high quality, banging, energetic Hardstyle!

ALKATRAZ,

Canada www.myspace.com/alkatrazmuzik.com | www.blackholerecordings.com
 

Alkatraz have proven to be the future of Dance Music. Bursting on to the scene in 2009 with their debut release on Black Hole Recordings, the pair have been catching the eyes and ears of the industry's top dogs. Although fairly new to the scene, they have been quietly plotting their rise to the top for nearly ten years. The 'Alkatraz Sound' blurs the lines of House, Techno and Trance in an effort to keep the party rocking. Over the last three years, they have done just that; Alkatraz has had the opportunity to share the stage all over the world with top DJ's such as Sander Van Doorn, Bad Boy Bill, John 00 Fleming, Lee Haslam, Ernesto & Bastian, and many others. Despite playing the biggest and best clubs from Shanghai to Bucharest, it was their original productions that gained these artists recent notoriety.
 

It all began when Tiesto featured their song "We're Rollin" on his acclaimed Club Life Radio show. This lead to an immediate debut release on Black Hole Recordings which met rave reviews and support from the likes of Matt Darey, Johan Gielen, Richard Durand, The Flash Brothers, Sied van Riel and many more. Their next release 'A Minor Crisis' was handled by UK imprint Seamless Recordings. The 4 track EP quickly turned heads and now boasts support from Tiesto, Gareth Emery, Super8 & Tab, Laurent Garnier, Pete Heller, and Graham Gold among numerous other top ranked jocks. The rest of 2009 will no doubt be hectic and exciting. Apart from touring and weekly radio show residencies on Black Hole Radio, Slinky FM, and City Beats Radio, Alkatraz is set to release their follow up single on Black Hole as well as collaborations with Adam Shaw, Richard Grey, and Amanda Wilson. Stay tuned!
