Headliner Matthew Herbert is one of the most celebrated English electronic artists of the last 15 years. His work is renowned for its eclecticism and recognised for its inspired genre-bending – he is an artist in every sense of the word. His latest album – ‘Tesco’, released under his Wishmountain alias, due on July 16th – comprises eight tracks, each created usingeight sounds made by a particular item found in a supermarket. Four Tet (aka Kieran Hebden) is one of the biggest starsin dance music today, whose new album – ‘Pink’, due in August on Text Records – showcases just why he’s so well respected.His open-minded approach to DJing and production has seen him rise to the top of his game, and his ability tomix styles on his hugely well-received Fabric mix CD last year earned him props from many camps.

Motor City Drum Ensemble makes his first appearance in the UK since January at secretsundaze Go Bang! He is a hugetalent, with Moodymann bigging up his music, and his DJ Kicks LP acclaimed for its rich musical roots. DVS1 is one of the hottest names in techno. From his long sets at Berghain, where his stripped-back muscular sound is so suited to his amazing productions (check out his new remix for Trus'me on Prime Numbers) his star is firmly in the ascendancy. He closes proceedings at Go Bang!

Levon Vincent is a big-room player who’s moved the much-loved NY muscle sound forward. His unique releases on his own imprint Novel Sound are hugely anticipated sellouts, and his DJing is in equal demand. Sven Weisemann is self taughton piano, guitar and percussion and is quite the turntablist. Productions range from the sweetest deep house on Mojuba, to his more dubstep-orientated project Desolate. secretsundaze Go Bang! presents his debut live set! Hessle Audio’s Ben UFO is one of very few DJs to make it purely off the back of his DJing. He is dedicated to unearthing the best records,joining the dots between bass, garage, techno and house with his excellent mixing skills. One of house music’s most talented new producers, Brawther understands the purist ‘90s US house vibe, and has had big props from Chez Damier,releasing on his Balance imprint.

The Secret Agency Floating Cocktail Lounge presents up-and-coming artists from the worlds of house, garage, technoand bass: Arkist – who has collaborated with Appleblim and released on Hot Flush; Photomachine – a young talent whohas released on 2020 Vision and has been booked to play alongside Moodymann and Scuba; Youandewan who is tippedfor greatness with his slick soulful vibe.

A showcase of young, vibrant UK talent from The Secret Agency's roster, this arena also brings Wbeeza’s kick ass drumskills and bass frequency, Sei A’s mature moody sound, and Ill Blu, the production duo known for their house, hip-hopand R&B. DJRUM adds his take on the deep sea hybrid of dubstep and techno, plus catch a far-from-dry and uninspiring performance from Al Tourettes, and Citizen’s set charged with memories of the past glory of early ’90s house music.

James Priestley and Giles Smith are keen to push boundaries with secretsundaze Go Bang!. “This is an opportunity forus to explore the full spectrum of music we are currently digging,” explains Giles Smith. “It’s always been about real dealhouse and techno, never pandering to the latest fad or hype. But in recent years we have been excited by a younger generation of artists who bring fresh things to the table. We want to embrace all forms of cutting-edge electronic music.

Describing how the day-into-night party will work, he explains: “The opportunity to do both the more classic, sexy daytimeopen-air vibe in true secretsundaze fashion and then move inside to the Dome for a more angular, gnarly night time sound gives the event a whole new appeal. The party will be bigger and better than ever before, with our usual focus and attention on production, sound, lighting and deco.”
