Deadmau5 to Roskilde

One of the hottest DJs right now is added to the programme together with 2562 and Mike Sheridan.

Electronic music has favourable terms at Roskilde Festival again this year. Roskilde Festival has three exciting acts ready that should generate enthusiasm and joy with everyone who loves partying to an electronic beat.

DEADMAU5 (CAN) is one of the most popular and requested DJs today. His already enormous catalogue reaches far – techno, house, trance and electro are the starting points for the young Canadian who always plays wearing a giant mouse head that grins from ear to ear. Deadmau5 outdistances practically every living thing in electronic music. One of this summer’s hottest and most explosive dance parties awaits.

2562 (NL) is often associated with the British dub step genre with is deep bass tones and dark minor chords. Yet, the Dutchman also adds elements of minimal techno and house so that one could speak of a new continental trend in the popular music genre. The debut album Aerial has been claimed a masterpiece by several media and could turn out to become a standing neo-classic like Burial’s Untrue.

MIKE SHERIDAN (DK) is Danish music’s new wonder boy. The first album from the young Dane is called I syv sind (In Two Minds) and shows a promising artist who is in full swing developing his sound. Fans of Trentemøller will recognise some of the same ultra-Scandinavian, minimalistic electronica – but Sheridan is a talent in his own right whose future career it will be extremely exciting to follow.
