Revered music label Ostgut Ton was founded in 2005 by revolutionary Berlin club Berghain. Providing stellar releases from some of the best names in house and techno Ostgut Ton is at the very forefront of visionary electronic music. Offering the Zoo Project a line-up like no other, Ostgut Ton will be bringing the very best for their UK debut. Ben Klock will be flying the flag for Berlin techno, joined by the unique Norman Nodge who is revered for his sets of jacking, melodic techno, building a formidable reputation as both DJ and producer. The ultimate DJ's DJ, Ryan Elliot will be serving up his baseline driven techno and house, alongside the analogue maestros Barker & Baumecker who will be bringing their Live set to the festival. Last but by no means least, the very talented Evan Baggs will be joining the cream of Ostgut Ton's very best. Hugely respected throughout the industry and with clubbers alike Berghain is undoubtedly understood as one of the best clubs in the world.
Also announced for The Zoo Project Festival is Leeds/London-based Louche, a brand that was created by music lovers for music lovers and that offers a diverse range of cutting edge electronic music. Its Leeds hub, The Mint Club was voted 'Best Small UK Venue' by DJ Magazine in 2010, further reinforcing their position as the leading exponents for bringing a colorful crowd together with a huge range of new sounds. No doubt festival goers will be impressed with the deep sounds of Margaret Dygas, whose minimal music has been influenced by her extensive traveling and funk lead upbringing. Dygas is joined by Prosumer, famed for bringing together the consumer and the producer, Prosumer offers up something entirely new and unique to the electronic dance music scene. Amsterdam's finist, Gerd, will be performing live alongside Louche founders Josh T and Brinsley Kazak, who will both be flying the Leeds flag at the first ever Zoo Project Festival.
Joining the Leeds massive is Manchester's finest, Kaluki, which was founded in historic Manchester nightclub Sankeys in 2006 and has built a reputation for delivering a conveyor belt of underground club bombs as well as creating some of the biggest global stars. The Zoo Project Festival is no different as the Kaluki stage offers up the finest of acts including the legendary Visionquest, arguably one of the most exciting things to come out of Detroit in the last decade. Yaya joins the Kaluki stage, continuing the theme of the experimental, Yaya will be bringing his unique percussion sounds to the festival. A combination of energy, music and great technical skills distinguish Federico Grazzini from other artists, he never fails to get the party started and no doubt, The Zoo Project Festival will provide the ultimate party crowd as he joins the Kaluki line-up. Lastly the Kaluki mainstays, Ellesse and Pete Zorba, will be finalizing what is one of the most exciting line-ups of the year!
The Zoo Project Festival will be an entirely unique experience,taking place within the grounds of Port Lympne Wild Animal Park.
