Joining headliner and LA-based dubstep superstar Jauz and living ragga legend General Levy at Beat-Herder’s very own 60ft x 60ft rave Fortress – complete with its own lasers, ramparts and fire breathing turrets, are ground-breaking and Breakspoll award-winning DJ Lady Waks, breakbeat producer Krafty Kuts, DJ’s Deekline, Jon Rundell and Mr C, Megadog veteran and techno stalwart DJ Templehead, producer duo Hybrid Theory and house and techno outfit Solardo.

Beat-Herder friend and regular Mr Scruff will be lighting up the woods at the Toil Trees stage, alongside DJ, producer and tastemaker Chris Coco. They join an already impressive line up of house and techno talent, including Riton, Dirtybird co-founder Justin Martin, Andhim, Defected stalwart Sonny Fodera and a special Doorly & Friends takeover, featuring fellow Dirtybird head honcho Claude VonStroke, Derrick Carter, Will Tramp and many more.

Head past the fairground and you’ll find the intimate genre-bending lounge space Trash Manor, where funk meets punk, hip-hop hangs with house, and anything goes! Announced today, and bringing the disco on Friday night, is Chimpo, of BBC Radio 1Xtra’s LEVELZ, whilst King of the 80’s electro scene Greg Wilson will play out the encore on Sunday.

Live at sacred dance site The Ring will be UK DMC Champ JFB, electro-swing producer Jamie Berry, hip-hop group Credit to the Nation and house DJ Sacha Schwarz. Apexape will be mixing house & bass, and Scotland’s Shaka Loves You are expected to pile on the funk.
