•••• LINE UP - ARTISTS ••••

KRUNCH (Homegga Records, Israel)

''THE KRUNCH TIME'' has come... On a never ending search for new sounds and ideas, the Krunch style is clearer and more exciting than ever! Previously touring the world as the legendary Dark Soho, the project “Krunch” came together in 2006 and became an instant hit with the release of their debut album in 2008 (Booster: Homegga Records) as well as tracks on many compilations! Constantly experimenting with fresh production styles and sounds, Krunch is a firm favourite in the scene, a truly outstanding sound chosen by the biggest psytrance DJ’s all over the World...and now it’s Krunch time for illumiNaughty!

EPHEDRIX (Dacru Records, Belgium)

One of the most prominent figures in the Belgian psytrance scene, Ephedrix are experts at creating a truly pumping sound - a big fat dose of uplifting melodies, groovy percussion and crystal clear bass lines! Their energetic live act has become renowned, being recognised by party promoters all over the globe! Since the release of their last album (a concoction of powerful remixes met with huge acclaim) the guys have been back in the studio, creating new tracks which ooze masses of energy and breathe the true Ephedrix spirit of playful melodies and driving beats!

FAR TOO LOUD (Funkatech Records, UK)

An illumiNaughty favourite - Far Too Loud, (a.k.a. Oli Cash) has gained a significant reputation in dance music for quality, dancefloor-destroying production. Originally rooted in breakbeat, the FTL sound was quickly recognized as being something different through the influence of other styles of dance music! Since his first performance at illumiNaughty we have been inundated with requests to bring him back – so there’s no better time to do this than our 5th birthday!! Expect hard-hitting beats, dirty basslines, detailed production and twisted sound design that has set FTL apart from the rest.
