It’s only 6 weeks to go until this Summers hottest festival Creamfields, and the team behind the UK’s No.1 Dance festival are pleased to announce more acts to the allstar line up.

Stepping out from the decks of this summer’s hottest parties, new DJ additions include Mark Brown (CR2 Records) playing the Radio 1 Arena.

Also on board is Drum and Bass maestro Futurebound added to the Ape Arena and Sonny J (Liverpool’s latest export) in the Skins arena. Sonny J is currently tearing up dancefloors nationwide with his debut album ‘Disastro’, big basslines and euphoric strings define this showstopping record, another gem glistening on the North West dance scene.

Well it’s been & gone once more & what a party!! I managed the whole weekend despite having to Dj Fri, work on Sat, record a radio show & play@ the after party! Fri night was a take things easy vibe moving from room to room checking bit’s and bob’s of set’s. Fertile Ground were on in the Beat Bar (formaly the bacardi bar) but being just under 5ft 5inches i found it hard to see much. Also on the agenda was dj Spen who was amazing as usuall! Then it get’s a little blury! Sat night is when i relaxed a little checking out Louisto Quintero live – Joey Negro – Mr Scruff – Monique Bingham & Quentin Harris & that’s just what i can remember, All exceptional. On to Sunday where it was all about The Sunburst Band - Bob Jones – Billy Davidson & bob Jeffries. Then on to play the After party with Dr Bob Jones & Dj Meme who were both amazing phew!. Thanks to them and everybody @ Southport Weekender. Roll on November!!!
