Skolbeats 2006

March 21, 2006

Summer is but a stone?s throw away, and of course that means that one of the biggest dance festivals on the planet is coming to Sao Paolo, and 2006?s Skolbeats is shaping up to be the biggest yet. Over 57,000 people attended Skolbeats in 2005 making it the most successful year in the events? history, and with the release of the new line-up for this year?s festival, we are sure to be inundated with music- hungry revellers once again.

Special guests for this year include local hero DJ Marky who is bringing his branded event Marky & Friends to host the D&B Arena with special guests Andy C, DJ Hype and Makoto and EKSman, Dynamite and Stamina. DJ Marky has continued to impress crowds with his no holds barred mixing style and energetic stage presence. There is an added incentive to excel this year though as the set is being recorded live to be released as a special edition CD & DVD mix album in the summer. DJ Patife also intends to give his fans an insight into the life of the touring DJ with a view from behind the decks at a packed festival. DJ Patife?s new album Na Estrada is at the pressing plants and a DVD, recorded live (with a full 8-piece band) at Skolbeats 2006 will accompany the album.

The END once again host their own Arena, supplying a special brand of Techno and House with appearances from TIGA and Timo Maas to name a few. Also guesting for The END are Loco Dice and the auspicious Sven Vath.

For the first time Skolbeats is proud to announce that the world famous DJ Magazine will be hosting its very own Arena this year and it?s truly something to warrant excitement. With a line-up that includes such legendary heavyweights as Armin Van Buuren, Gabriel & Dresden, Steve Angello and Martin Solveig, and local stars like Gabo, DJ Magazine intends to set themselves up for life with an army of dedicated Brasilian dance troops.

Last but by no means least is the knockout Live Stage, which comes armed to the teeth this year with the unrelenting LCD Soundsystem, an appearance from live music visionaries The Bays and Plump Djs. The Prodigy headline the Festival with their sell-out show. Also on the main stage Renato Cohen presents his brand new Live show, Julio Torres takes his house music live with his CrossOver project and local stars Gui Boratto and Drumagick also add to the impressive line-up. Closing the festivities will be the formidable Anderson Noise. A veritable Techno legend in brazil, Anderson is looking to finish off the festival in style with a special set B2B with fellow superstar Mau Mau.

With 17 hours of non-stop music, Skolbeats 2006 should prove once again Brazil is firmly leading the way for dance music in the new millennium.
