Kicking off with a true innovator of dance music we have Julio Bashmore, who burst onto the scene in 2009 after releasing a jaw-dropping EP on Claude Von Stroke's influential label Dirtybird. In just three short years he has cemented his place at the forefront of a new generation of DJs, partly responsible for the colossal rise of UK bass music in the global spectrum.
Few producers have made such a dent on the electronic music scene in such a short amount of time as Eats Everything who has also been announced for the festival. In a matter of months he has defined a whole new genre of forward thinking underground house music. Hailing from the music hot spot of Bristol, Eats Everything's DJ sets are highly sought-after and his productions have continued to gain great support from esteemed labels such as Hot Creations.
Carlos Sosa, aka DJ Sneak has also been announced as a UK festival exclusive for The Zoo Project Festival premier. A legend inside and outside the electronic music industry, DJ Sneak has seen it all. Bringing festival-goers a unique mixture of Chicago tracks, Latin tribal beats and disco-filtered reworks of retro classics. There’s no doubt that Sneak will get thousands dancing at The Zoo Project Festival.
The Zoo Project Festival is delighted to also welcome London born-and-bred George Fitzgerald to the line-up, as well as David Kennedy aka the phenomenal Pearson Sound. Both artists have continued to push boundaries and make their marks on the clubbing scene in a big way, through their seamless integration of house, dubstep and everything in between. Both have been responsible for injecting the beat back into productions through their skillful use of drum-machines.
Also on the rise from Canada’s east coast is the amazing James Teej who is joining The Zoo Project Festival & bringing his exciting live set with him. James has delighted fans the world over with his infectious vocal productions and collaborations with heavyweights such as DJ T and Tale of Us and we are certain that this will be a performance not to be missed. The Zoo Project Festival is also bringing ticket holders the infectious sound of Heidi, the much loved BBC Radio 1 DJ is also announced for this years festival.
Innovative and forward thinking sounds will be the order of the day at the first ever Zoo Project Festival, with Leeds favourite Youandewan also joining the line-up whilst Blackhall & Bookless are flying the flag for the Newcastle massive. Guy Gerber [live] is another phenomenal addition to The Zoo Project Festival this year. Currently on a world tour which takes him everywhere from Barcelona to Russia the internationally renowned artist is a hugely anticipated addition to the line-up.
Last but by no means least is Scuba, otherwise known as Paul Rose, making up the final addition to this epic line-up. No doubt the Zoo Project Festival will provide the ultimate end of season party, offering a unique mash-up of European and Ibiza sounds in amongst the animals themselves.
