New Act Announcements!
Neil Joseph Stephen Fraser is a dub music producer and engineer known for his original productions and remix work. He is considered one of the leading producers of dub music’s second generation and was instrumental in transitioning dub into the digital age. He is a prolific producer, contributing to or producing nearly 200 albums. He has collaborated with reggae artists such as Lee "Scratch" Perry, Sly and Robbie, Pato Banton, Jah Shaka and Horace Andy, as well as artists outside the realm of traditional reggae and dub, such as Sade, Massive Attack, The Orb, and Brazilian DJ Marcelinho da lua. We warmly welcome him as a massive addition to the Rainbow 2010 line up.
Gabriel Ananda is from Cologne, Germany. He is known for his diversity of sound in which he melds a mixture of techno, house, electro, and Dub music into his DJ sets and musical productions.
Refreshingly different from the common Techno mainstream Gabriel Ananda breaks hearing-habbits using well dosed deep structured sounds. Connoisseurs of the uncommon enjoy his straight and fiddly cool beats.
In 2006 he released the massively successfully EP "Miracel Whop" on Platzhirsch Schallplatten. This will be his first time at Rainbow Serpent and his playful psychedelic style will no doubt be a great contribution to the festival.
There are few more inspired artists working in electronic music today than Charlie May. As the architect behind many of the stylistic blueprint shifts in dance since the early heady days of acid house and as one half of revered progressive house pioneers Spooky; the engineer and producer of many of Sasha’s biggest singles and albums, May knows a thing or two about what makes a dancefloor tick.
This producer and DJ has consistently blazed a trail of innovation which has underpinned many of the most important developments in electronic music! In 2009 he has released a new double mixed cd under “spooky” on platypus records, and look out for a new solo album showcasing his sounds!s
Boris Brejcha began producing and dj-ing in November 2006 and with his first online MP3 debut Monster EP and the following EP named Yellow Kitchen, he reached number one on many download platforms, and became the new techno shooting star playing gigs not only in his home country Germany but abroad. Boris joined Harthouse Mannheim at the beginning of 2007 with the digital releases Outer Space, White Snake and others.
Boris is constantly searching for fresh & unknown elements in his sound. Now he is looking forward for his third album which will come in the beginning of 2010! We have been receiving request for a number of years to bring Boris over for Rainbow, in 2010 we are more than pleased to oblige!
Magnus Birgersson, a Swedish based electronic music composer has been involved in many projects since a teenager, playing drums, percussions, piano and keyboards for various bands before launching his own project Solar Fields in 2001 with the album Reflective Frequencies.
Magnus has always built a unique sound universe, poles apart from current trends in the genre, he explores the wide possibilities of ambient, atmospheric, deep, ecstatic, industrial yet organic, cultivating contrasts and subtlety with brio.
In November 2005 he released his third and fourth album “Leaving Home” and “Extended”, both albums received critical acclaim opening new horizons for Magnus Birgersson and his true visionary work. |

NO GLASS POLICY
No Exceptions!!
Having seen the impact of glass on our previous sites and with our desire to keep our new home safe, clean and free of broken glass, we have decided that we are going to enforce the no glass policy for Rainbow 2010.
Boots/Cars/Esky will be checked and any glass found will be confiscated, so time to start thinking about what you can buy that you like in cans and kegs. We ask that our patrons accept this new policy and please do the right thing and leave the glass at home. In the end, this mostly small inconvenience over a series of years, will keep our new home safe for bare feet, kids and animals and we think that's more than a fair trade off.
For all the info on Advice and Guidelines go here: http://www.rainbowserpent.net/index...guidelines.html
****************************************************************************
WE HAVE A NEW SITE!!!!! :)
New Site Conditions
 
After several years of preparation, planning and negotiation we are happy to announce we have secured a new site to hold the festival.
Still close to our beloved Beaufort, the site is blessed with undulating hills and picturesque views, is bordered by a forest and one side and a granite hill on the other and we believe our new home will provide a great setting for years to come. As part of the arrangements to allow us to the use the site, there are some new conditions which we need you to be aware of and we hope you will respect these to ensure we keep the owners and authorities happy.
Go here for the full details: http://www.rainbowserpent.net/index...conditions.html |
