SUPREME, UFO, MARLEY & STORM CONFIRMED FOR ELECTRIKS RETURN TO
LOUISIANAS IN APRIL FOR LUV HARDCORE
Electrik Events Present Luv Hardcore
Louisianas (Part of Oceana), Leisureworld, Southampton Friday 9th April 2010
The boys are back in town this April! Following on from a successful re-launch in a new
venue (the spacious Louisianas, part of Southamptons luxurious Oceana
clubbing complex owned by Luminar Leisure); which received much critical praise and
thoroughly positive feedback from its raving clientele in January Electrik Events are
proud to announce a follow up date, returning to the venue on Friday the 9th April for Electrik Events Present Luv Hardcore. Featuring this time a fully loaded line-up of UK
hardcore stars including headliners, scene legends and pioneers Dougal, Supreme, UFO and MC Storm, the late night UK hardcore event will also have performances
from Geos Crew, Scandal, DJ MOB, Solution, The Chunky Boys, Prospect and Spyro; as well as MCs Marley, Knight, Macca, Mayhem, Sykee and Oggy
all set against a back drop of one of the South Coasts finest venues with superb lighting and
sound and an unbeatable atmosphere.
The initial re-launch event which took place in January was a storming success, with the loyal Electrik faithful coming out in their droves to support the new venue and day shift (the
event normally is held on Bank Holiday weekends). The evident excellent atmosphere and
positive feedback post event was more than enough to set Promoters Marley &
Scandals wheels straight into motion on a sequel at this particular venue, this time
presenting Luv Hardcore as their new themed brand. The new venue is huge, the
stage set up is amazing and gives the artists a real platform to showcase their skills says Marley of the previous event. There are three main reasons for putting on these
events. One is Ravers Happy, give the loyal, amazing South Coast ravers a night to
remember. Two Artists Happy, give the wicked up and coming and established local artists
another chance to play on a big system to a brilliant crowd and three Electrik Happy, give
our record label artists Geos Crew, Marley, GSDX, Scandal, Clodhopper, Bishop, Flyin,
Sparky & Charm another chance to play or hear their Electrik Euphoria tunes bashing out of
the killer sound system. This is why Rich and I keep on doing what we do adds Scandal.
For this event, taking place on Friday 9th April and returning once again to Louisianas, no less than eighteen exceptionally talented UK hardcore DJs and MCs
have been hired to rock and rage the main stage.
Headliner Dougal, has been a very important part of the rave scenes makings since as
early as 1991, part of the initial first movement resulting in the explosion of happy hardcore
in its hey day, Dougal has been responsible not only for some sensational
performances upon main stage arenas Worldwide for the biggest names in the genre inclusive
of Slammin Vinyl, Hardcore Heaven, Fusion, Dreamscape, Helter Skelter, Hardcore Till I
Die and Uproar et all but also has won countless awards for his contribution to
hardcore music in his past near two decade career. He is the Proprietor of Essential
Platinum, one of UK hardcores biggest release platforms for both vinyl and digital
download and has numerous contributions to singles, remixes and best selling compilation
albums that have charted in top positions industry wide including HTID: The Album,
Hardcore Heaven, Clubland X-Treme Hardcore, True Hardcore and Ministry Of Sounds
Hardcore Euphoria.
In equal measure, writer, producer, promoter and DJ Supreme also has had an
extensive and intricate career in hardcore music. Spanning twenty years in itself, Supreme has had the honour of being one part of the creation of now blockbusting
event brand Fusion on the South Coast, was responsible amongst other partners for Fusion Records, RSR Recordings and Hectic back in the day releasing material
with fellow pioneers Sunset Regime, Ramos and Hixxy and now is the driving
force with fellow producer and engineer UFO behind THC Records. His releases
and remixes on vinyl, CD and download over the years on a number of labels has been
extensive with more recent success coming from inclusions on such compilations as Clubland X-Treme Hardcore and True Hardcore 1 & 2 and regular DJ'ing
performances at events such as Fusion, Ravers Reunited, Ravers Are:, HTID, Hardcore
Heaven, Raverbaby and many others.
Joining him, another hero amongst South Coast revellers and one other to be added to the list
of those that contributed to the development of the early rave scenes sound UFO.
Like Supreme, UFO started out early, although his focus was more on musical
production and therefore resulting in a number of hardcore musics most prominent anthems
even still to this day, as his work continues with the continued upbringing of his label Ufology and his ongoing work with Supreme both at the mixing desk in the
studio and on stage as they continue to push new music forward on the THC label. UFOs discography is one of the most detailed in hardcores history and is matched by
his experience globally, rocking a main stage wherever he lands whether it be Australia,
America, New Zealand, Japan, Spain, Germany or at home for every major rave brand the
scene has ever had the goodness to present, sure enough UFOs covered it and with a
stage presence and style of his own to boot.
Aprils event will also carry the full support of headlining MC Storm, commented by
many as one of the very best, if not the best in the scene today Storms hard hitting
and often controversial lyrics are a massive hit with hardcore fans Worldwide. Having been a
part of UK hardcore also since the very early days of the rave movement, Storm has
single handedly worked his way to the top of his game through a passion for hardcore music,
a devotion to the scene and its followers and an energetic, all out, high energy stage
presence that connects the DJ to his or her dance floor with the maximum of gusto; as does Electrik co-promoter MC Marley who also, has been keeping on top of crowd
control with catchy, memorable and inspirational lyrics since 1991; Marley too will be
aiding in headlining MC duties.
The event is fully supported by a number of talented and highly sought after individuals
inclusive of the already aforementioned international stars. DJs now added to the line-up for
this night include Marley in his DJ guise with breakthrough talent and co-producer
Robbo taking to the stage as Electrik Euphorias the Geos Crew, whilst the
co-founder in all things ElectrikScandal also provides a performance, as does
smash through talent recently responsible for a part in SE1s new Unleashed
album series Fusion resident, Krafty Radio star and THC signee DJ
MOB. Freeform hero and Nu Energy Collective collaborator Solution also
joins the line-up as do Fusion promoters the Chunky Boys and a new breed
back to back from welcome new faces Prospect and Spyro.
Supporting Storm & Marley upon the microphone in rinsing rhymes and providing that
all important crowd control are some of hardcores very best contributors including Fusion resident and established rhyming King Knight, Strictly For The
Purist star Macca, the widely supported MC Mayhem and two of the South
Coasts favourites Sykee and Oggy.
