Utopia Music Festival 2009
Saturday 21 November, 2009
6pm - 6am
Parklands+Munro+Downes Pavilion - Sydney Showground
Sydney Olympic Park

Powerhouse Productions are proud to welcome you to one of the biggest dance parties in our history. Since 1995, we have built the UTOPIA events into what is now an institution in the Australian scene. The Utopia events continually expand with more patrons, more productions, and more performers, basically more of everything. From the first song, to the last killer anthem, thousands of people will witness a show unprecedented in Australia.

This is the first time we have used the Parklands, Munro, Downes Pavilion and the surrounding grounds. This venue takes up a massive area of the Sydney Showground at Sydney Olympic Park and is by far one of the biggest spaces we have ever used for any UTOPIA event! Without a doubt, this venue is one of the most amazing places to throw down a huge party! The venue features 2 over size indoor pavilions and one giant outdoor grass arena which will be home to a 60m screen used to project main room party images and crazy visuals. Located in the true heart of Sydney, it’s easy to get to by train and packs plenty of parking if you’re driving.

Utopia Music Festival will be the wildest and most intense Utopia event ever... the only question is... Are You Ready to Party?

However, with 3 EP’s and a series of new releases scheduled for 2009, they will soon be the biggest names in the business.

Ophidian (NL) - [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Ophidian really is a genius when it comes to producing music, incorporating the X-factor into every track.

Dark by Design (UK) - [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
2009 has been another amazing year for the enigmatic Dark By Design. With a production schedule outshining the majority of his peers and the tag of the ‘best remixer’ at the Hard Dance Awards 5 years in a row. Undoubtedly, one of the biggest producers in Hard Dance/UK Hardstyle, it is easy to see why his bookings are through the roof.

Come live in the Dark but don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Brisk (UK) - [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
If you love that UK Hardcore & Newstyle Gabber sound, then this is the set for you! A giant among giants with some 17 years behind him, DJ Brisk (aka PaulNineham) co-owns two of the scene’s most influential and successful labels, Next Generation and Blatant Beats, with DJ Ham. A renowned producer and prolific remixer, he’s stuck by the scene through thick and thin, shaping it into the potent global force it is today. You only have to check out his latest mix “Next Generation, Volume 3” to know that this will be one WORLD CLASS Hardcore set!

Hit releases like “Jiehaaaa”, “Pump Up The Vibe” and “Mind Of A Lunatic” brought him recognition from around the globe. Predator now presents his dark, claustrophobic atmospheres to the Drum ‘n' Bass scene and was voted best Dutch Drum ‘n' Bass producer in 2002. Be on the lookout for this lunatic psychonaut, as he is determined to come correct across the board.

With these labels he created a new hardcore sound together with producers like Nosferatu, Endymion and Ophidian, eventually resulting in the establishment of Enzyme Records in 2001. Ruffneck has played at almost every major hardcore event and is the mastermind behind Artcore. Only recently taking a few bookings a year again, Ruffneck should most definitely not be missed!!

In 2005 when he mixed Nukleuz / Warners compilation Hardcore Nation, the series sold in excess of 150,000 units in the UK alone. Come and witness the scratch master, the hardcore blaster, the main man Robbie Long.

I'm visiting Australia for the first time tomorrow with my partner in crime. We land on the 19th and are thinking about going to this event? What is the scene like over here? I've seen some videos and it looks pretty sweet. Should I bring my gloves?
