Miami, FL (January 27, 2006) – The world famous Ultra Music Festival announced today that Paul van Dyk, Hot Hot Heat, Hard-Fi, Carl Cox, BT, Benny Benassi, Perry Farrell, Danny Tenaglia, Richie Hawtin, Mauro Picotto, Armand van Helden, Nic Fanciulli, Donald Glaude and a slew of others have joined the all-star lineup for their 8th installment of the festival. These artists join previously announced headliner The Prodigy, along with Paul Oakenfold (live) and Erick Morillo. The event will be held on Saturday, March 25, 2006 at Bicentennial Park in downtown Miami.
Making his 8th appearance at the UMF, legendary German DJ Paul van Dyk was recently named #1 DJ in the world by DJ Magazine. A proven leader of his genre, van Dyk was one of the first artists to receive a Grammy nomination in the newly added category of Best Dance/Electronic album for his 2004 release Reflections. His latest album The Politics of Dancing Volume 2 was released last year and remains in the top 20 Electronic Album charts.
Formed in 1999 and hailing from Victoria, B.C., Hot Hot Heat will be making their UMF8 debut appearance headlining the Ultra Live Arena. Touring last year with Weezer and the Foo Fighters, this indie synth band has earned critical acclaim for song such as “Goodnight, Goodnight.” Their latest album Elevator combines 60s mod rock, 70s progressive and 80s new wave punk into their own unique dance music and their hit single “Middle of Nowhere” is quickly rising up the charts.
Hailing from West London, Hard-Fi just received two Brit Award nominations: Best British Group and Best British Rock Act. Their 2005 debut album release of Stars of CCTV and their single “Cash Machine” enjoyed immediate commercial success and their sound is being called “Diska,” a merging of disco, punk and dub music. Hard-Fi was recently profiled on MTV’s “You Hear it First” and currently are topping the UK Charts.
Washington DC native BT burst onto the music scene with his amazing remix of Tori Amos’ “Blue Skies.” Since then, he has parlayed his passion for music into composing the soundtracks for such films as Monster and Jarhead. He also served as Executive Producer on the hit NBC reality show “Tommy Lee Goes to College.” Meanwhile, Italian dance sensation Benny Benassi is making his 1st appearance at UMF8. Perhaps best known for his smash hit single “Satisfaction,” his music and energy has been burning up the dance floors across the globe.
UMF8 also sees the return of Lollapalooza creator Perry Farrell, aka DJ Peretz, and techno genius Richie Hawtin who will be coming fresh off his duty as composer and producer of the Torino Olympic Games’ Opening Ceremony on February 10th.
Also announced are the addition of MySpace.com, Pioneer Pro DJ, AOL Music and Music Choice as Official Sponsors of UMF8.
Last year, UMF 7 sold out downtown Miami’s Bayfront Park and made history by drawing a record number of attendees and landed a coveted position in Billboard Magazine as the #3 top-grossing event in the United States, following only behind U2’s Vertigo Tour Kick Off and Elton John’s concert. Previous UMF performers include Moby, Tommy Lee, Perry Farrell, The Streets, Underworld, The Chemical Brothers, Paul van Dyk, The Crystal Method, Tiesto, Carl Cox, Sasha, John Digweed, Danny Tenaglia, Rabbit in the Moon, The Rapture, LCD Soundsystem and more. Celebrity fans of UMF include Ricky Martin, P Diddy, Naomi Campbell, Colin Farrell and Tara Reid. |

Go figure, I stop going to Bonnaroo after the first 3 years and THEN they add a DJ I actually want to see... Sasha late night at Bonnaroo would be absolutely AMAZING... There's nothing that could compare, and the sad thing is, that on all the hippie boards right now, all people can do is talk about how more and more EDM and Indie acts are being added to Bonnaroo... It's a damn shame... :(
If I don't get my Sasha fix at WMC this year I'm going to be very, very disappointed... |

dude i can come up with plenty of responses but unlike you i don't have time to sit and write up a whole essay to debate things. when a thread like that goes off topic, there is very little chance of it going back to what it was... so instead of it turning into some ty "my opinion is better than yours" ta debate, i decided to close it...
and before you call me a noob, move to amsterdam and manage to go to half the amount of parties i did while i was there... try it and see how long you last...
why am i even bothering with you people? you're right, im a noob and i don't know anything.
phew thanks for making me aware :toothless |

well actually i was in england all of last year going to parties all across europe I spent all my money on going to the biggest and best parties europe could offer so:rolleyes: we would've stopped but for someone to have a thread on a person that comes already once a year(not in addition to them coming to Miami for WMC or all the other acts that come that weekend) is pretty foolish just my opinion. Im sure I would've been flammed if I wanted some of my fav DJs to come more than once or be booked more than once during WMC.
And relax Im sure Markus will be on another bill |
