"After a great summer of Ibiza Full On Ferry shows, I'm excited to announce I’ll be bringing Full On Ferry - to one of my favourite cities in the world, for the very first time...London! This will be my biggest ever UK show to date. See you there." Ferry Corsten
The biggest date in the clubbing calendar at the capital’s most iconic music venue. The London debut of Full on Ferry has continued to send forums and blogs into overdrive, with the night widely recognised as one of the biggest New Years Eve events to take place in the capital in recent years. Early Bird tickets have already completely sold out with saver tickets selling at an incredible speed. However it’s now time to take things to an even higher gear. It’s time to announce the first act joining us at this incredible way to bring in the New Year. A man who has shot to the top of the scene in the space of just two years and shows no sign of slowing down. We give you Dash Berlin...
“The clubbers in the UK are some of the best in the world and every time I DJ there I have an incredible time. When I was asked to play in a legendary venue, on the biggest night of the year and alongside a fantastic lineup of artists, what was I going to say? See you soon London is what came to me!” Dash Berlin
Dash Berlin is a musical force to be reckoned with. Since his 2007 track ‘Till the Sky Falls Down’, Dash’s ascension to trance superstar has been unstoppable. In 2009 he won an IDMA Award for his track ‘Waiting’ in the category of ‘best high energy track’. He was also nominated three times at the International Dance Music Awards at the WMC in Miami. In 2010 he earned the ‘highest new entry’ accolade in DJ Magazine’s Top 100 DJ poll, debuting at an incredible 15. He followed this with the release of his first double mix CD entitled ‘United Destination’, which has since become an annual concept.
2011 has been another great year for Dash as illustrated with his climb in the DJ Magazine poll, this year breaking into the top 10 at number 8. His global popularity can be accredited to his outstanding DJ sets at the world’s leading festivals and prolific productions such as ‘Disarm Yourself’, ‘Apollo Road’ and ‘Better Half of Me’. He brings to a close the finest year of his career to date at Full on Ferry, a night that will also witness his biggest ever UK show. A truly special guest, Dash Berlin is ready to show the Capital precisely why he is viewed trance music’s hottest property.
As one of the most popular figures in dance music, it’s a great pleasure that BBC Radio 1’s Judge Jules has selected Full on Ferry to welcome in 2012. An incredible career that has notched up hundreds of thousands of miles, countless gigs in far-flung destinations and numerous awards, has meant that Jules is firmly established as a household name amongst electronic music fans.
Jules has played at every top club night in the UK, as well as packed out fields at the UKs best festivals and weekenders. You’re just as likely to find him spinning to 10,000 at a festival, as playing a rocking set in a 500-capacity venue, whilst his dulcet tones continue to be heard across the globe, courtesy of his BBC Radio 1 show. The dark and rumbling nature of his new track ‘City Lights’ is sure to shake Brixton to its core as Jules brings his usual blend of past anthems and future classics to the capital once again.
Ramping proceedings up a gear, Brixton goes ‘In Search Of Sunrise’ with Richard Durand. There’s no doubting the celebrated status that ISOS has amongst trance fans, with its trademark beats propelling the series into unchartered territory. Leading to a subsequent world tour, Durand specifically highlighted London because of its renowned party atmosphere. Richard’s CDJ wizardry has been hard to ignore over the past year, convincing Ferry to immediately enlist his support for Full on Ferry’s London debut.
Marcel Woods ‘Musical Madness’ compilation combines a manic melange of energetic trance, tantalising techno and everything in between. Augmenting this with Ferry’s trance belters makes this lineup addition truly mouth watering. Marcel Woods ‘BPM’ has been a ferocious track in Ferry’s 2011 outings, not forgetting the tech trance stamp of approval on Marcel’s mix of Ferry Corsten ‘Whatever’. A match made in heaven, we’re delighted to add Marcel to the NYE line-up.
Sied van Riel’s unrelenting style has wowed fans and critics alike, meaning he really is an act for the big occasion. This summer’s itinerary is testament, with appearances at Ministry Of Sound’s landmark twentieth birthday and at Full On Ferry Ibiza just two dates on a jam-packed schedule. Indicative of a wide ranging philosophy, expect a raucous buzz when Sied takes to the decks this NYE.
With Lee & Slater and Nick The Kid warming things up in the main arena and further rooms hosted by Bootleg Social, Retox and Spinning Quickly, Full On Ferry London is undoubtedly London’s biggest New Years Eve party. The only question left is where will you be when we step into the future?
