Ook dit jaar zijn er weer festivalbussen die je gratis naar en van Vlamrock brengen! De uurregeling vind je hier!

Indien je voorverkoopkaarten via onze online service wilt bestellen vanuit nederland zet je best je postcode bij 'Remarks'. Hij past niet in het daarvoor voorziene vakje. In dat vakje typ je dan gewoon 1111 en dan sturen we -na ontvangst van het verschuldigde bedrag- meteen de kaarten op.

Oplettende festivalgangers konden het al zien op de affiches: Vlamrock heeft zijn line-up helemaal rond! Kijk snel hieronder waarom Vlamrock met recht en rede trots mag zijn:

Primordial (Ire) – First Blood (US)

De laatste vrije plaatsen op het buitenpodium zijn opgevuld door ‘s lands meest technisch onderlegde death metallers van In-Quest en Shattered Skull, de winnaars van de preselectie.

Op het buitenpodium zorgen de Engelsen van The Grit voor een aangename afwisseling tussen het harde gitaargeweld. Maar wedden dat ook massa’s moshers en headbangers niet kunnen blijven stilstaan op de aanstekelijke tonen van hun op ska en rockabilly gestoelde street punk? Unchained Breathing mag op het buitenpodium de aftrap geven als winnaar van de preselecties voor deze stage.

Tenslotte kreeg ook onze club stage nog een muzikale kwaliteitsboost door de toevoeging van Lucky Sinners, Krijgslust, Emperors of Decay en Dawn By Sunset.

Beste DNB, DUB, CORE,... - heads,  wij moeten jullie helaas melden dat er een kleine verandering in onze Line-Up gaat zijn.

Omdat Technical Itch zijn Europese tour vroeger stop zet, werden wij helaas van deze lijst geschrapt. Maar omdat we jullie niet teleur wouden stellen en we 1 naam als vervanger niet genoeg vonden presenteren wij als vervanging: The Teknoist (UK) en Dj Hidden (NL). Deze pioniers uit de hardere drum and bass scene zullen zeker bij de meesten een belletje doen rinkelen.. en we weten zeker dat jullie door deze namen nog massaler aanwezig gaan zijn.

Check ook zeker regelmatig onze facebook-pagina.

Met vriendelijke feest groeten,

Fast Forward

Aphrodite also known as A Zone or DJ Aphro, is a UK jungle and drum and bass DJ/producer commonly referred to as the "Godfather of Jungle", who works along with Micky Finn on their joint Urban Takeover label. One of the oldest drum and bass producers, he largely contributed to and influenced the genre's current styles and techniques.

Aphrodite Recordings which was inspired by a club he ran in 1988 called 'Aphrodite'. His debut album was a self titled effort under V2 Recordings released September 1, 2000. The follow up was Aftershock which was again released under V2 Recordings on June 24, 2002, featuring artists such as Barrington Levy and Wildflower.

The song King of the Beats was featured in the Psygnosis game Rollcage (video game).



TECHNICAL ITCH (USA)

Bristol-based duo Technical Itch make leading-edge progressive drum'n'bass, incorporating the moodier elements of jump-up and techstep with a nod toward drum-twisting junglists such as Dom & Roland and the Penny Black label. Although Technical Itch's Darren Beale and Mark Caro (the latter originally of Birmingham) have deepest roots in the late-'80s hardcore breakbeat scene, their material both apart and together has tended toward the darkside, combining dense, unsetting atmospherics with complex, bruising drum patterns and deep subbass groans. The pair's most-used recording moniker derives (as does their home-run label) from their Bristol-based Tech Itch recording studio, but Caro and Beale have also recorded as Kutta (for Rough Tone), Decoder (for Tech Itch, Back2Basics, and Ruffneck Ting), T.I.C. (for Back2Basics), and Alpha Proxima (for Au Toi). The pair's earliest tracks came toward the peak end of the U.K. hardcore scene; both Beale and Caro were noted DJs, with Beale's recorded work as Orca adding to his notoriety. Introduced by a mutual friend, they released their first record together as Plasmic Life on Bizzy B's Brain Records, and by the early '90s were moving away from the conventions of hardcore, following breakbeat into the less static realms of darkside and hardstep jungle. Still only a part-time collaboration, the pair's partnership deepened after Omni Trio's Rob Haigh heard a Tech Itch track on Kenny Ken's Kiss FM show, leading to their signing with Haigh's home-base Moving Shadow in 1996. The pair produced a number of singles as Technical Itch for the label that same year, with scores of tracks as Decoder and T.I.C. continuing to appear on their own and other labels, marking the pair as one of the more prolific (and increasingly influential) of the new crop. Though a Decoder full-length was first out of the gate in late 1998, Tech Itch's Diagnostics followed in 1999 on Moving Shadow. Sean Cooper, All Music Guide




EDDIE K (UK)

Since 2006, he has been working closely with the D-Style record label and it’s bosses "Distorted Minds". Through their nurturing, Eddie has been allowed to develop a dancefloor style of production that led to his double sided releases on Stereotype; ‘Stinkbox/My Sound‘ and ‘Planet Terror/Unscrew’. He is not just limited to drum and bass, Eddie has has had a double sided release on H.E.N.C.H with the massive, ‘Who’s the hardest" backed with ‘The Shivers‘.

POINT.BLANK (BE)

http://www.myspace.com/pointblankstep
Point.blank is a collab project of two belgium dubstep producers called Matar & Vyron. After only two months producing together they managed to take over the scene with releases forthcoming on Dubsaw Recordingds, BuyGore Records & Stupid Fly Recordings.
