MSTRKRFT
www.myspace.com/mstrkrft
The Canadian pairing of MSTRKRFT aka Jesse Keeler and Al-P are no
strangers to the Common, having brought the noise to Get Loaded in the
Park back in 2007. Two years on, MSTRKRFT are again dominating
dancefloors worldwide with the release of ‘Fist of God’ – the follow
up to 2006’s LP ‘The Looks’. Big single off the album -
‘Heartbreakers’ feat. John Legend has been all over Radio 1 of late,
whilst remixes for the likes of Justice, Bloc Party, Gossip and Kylie
confirming their constant ‘in demand’ status. Last seen in London
hosting their own warehouse parties, MSTRKRFT make a welcome return to
Get Loaded this summer playing their only UK festival show on sale.
TELEPATHE
www.myspace.com/telepathe
Melissa Livaudais and Busy Ganges make up the experimental pop girl
duo Telepathe heralding from Brooklyn. They create avant-garde
ethereal music that transcends musical genres, so much so that you
can’t put Telepathe into a category. Their music explores territories
of pop, hip-hop, shoegaze, electronic, and psychedelic music just to
name a few. Listening to them feels like you’re in a lush dreamscape
trapped between the sleeping world and waking reality. Of Telepathe’s
full-length debut, ‘Dance Mother’, NME said it “doesn’t sound like
anything else that’s come before it.” Indeed access to their producer
Dave Sitek’s (TV on the Radio) vintage synthesizer collection,
combined with deep electronic sub-bass lines influenced by hours of
listening to dubstep, gave the duo’s homemade music making a new sonic
purity and gave them the confidence and the stylistic singularity to
transcend genres. Dark, forward-thinking hybrid pop music… we love
it!
MPHO
www.myspace.com/mphosounds
MPHO is a British talent like no other. A genre-defying singer,
songwriter and producer, she has enormous global crossover pop
potential. Already a name to drop amongst people in the know, MPHO is
set to be one of the most exciting names of 2009. Her debut single
‘Box N Locks’ is produced by acclaimed maestro, Switch (Santogold,
MIA) and is about to become one of the tunes of the summer. The track
samples the legendary guitar hook from the Martha and the Muffins new
wave hit, ‘Echo Beach’ and a specific ‘Get Loaded version’ has been
re-recorded by the south London star (listen out for “Sunday afternoon
in Clapham!” in the lyrics at the start!) MPHO was born in apartheid
South Africa and raised in a racially mixed family of musicians and
political activists in Brixton. Her life story is as colourful as her
music, but the overriding theme of both has been MPHO’s determination
to find her own space, to define herself on her own terms. MPHO’s
striking debut album, ‘Pop Art’ will be out in the autumn… but before
that, ‘Box N Locks’ marks the emergence of a hot new UK talent. Get
Loaded awaits you! Oh, and by the way, her name is pronounced
Mmmm-poh. You’ll be hearing it everywhere soon!
THE COUNT & SINDEN
www.myspace.com/countandsinden
The Count aka The Count of Monte Cristal aka Herve and [Graeme] Sinden
are two of dance music’s foremost sonic experimentalists and are at
the very forefront of all things ghetto and bassy! Put simply, no one
does it better. In 2008 they released monster tune ‘Bleeper’ feat. Kid
Sister (“Hit me on my beeper, hit me on my beeper, beeper, beeper,
beeper, beeper”) and in 2009 they remain two of the most demand
DJ/producers out there. Check out Sinden’s radio show on KISS 100 or
his ‘Get Familiar’ residency at Fabric and as for The Count, be sure
to hear his amazing new remix of ‘Lush’ by Get Loaded headliners
Orbital and his acclaimed ‘Ghetto Bass’ compilation. Oh, and their
crazy midweek mash-up Mega Mega Mega has just touched back down in
London town just in time for the summer! Ch-ch-check ‘em out.
GOLDFISH
www.myspace.com/goldfishlive
The introduction of South African superstars Goldfish continues Get
Loaded’s love affair with the Tri Nations (Pendulum DJ Set and Sneaky
Soundsystem also figure from Australia). The Cape Town jazz graduates
take the whole DJ set concept to the next level as they mix up an
array of live instruments – double bass, sax, keyboards, flutes and
synths to create a multi-dimensional experience, the first of its kind
seen anywhere in the world. Goldfish aka Dominic Peters and David
Poole got a lucky break two years ago when they ‘blagged’ a set at one
of Pete Tong’s Cafe Mambo parties in Ibiza. The Radio 1 don they
invited them to play at his Pacha party later that night, and the rest
as they say is history! Debut album ‘Perceptions of Pacha’ followed
with the club giants and they’re back in Ibiza for their exclusive
weekly Pacha residency this summer, flying over to London in between
for this extra special main stage Get Loaded show… don’t you dare
miss it!!
BLAME feat. SELAH
www.myspace.com/blame720
One of the original hardcore pioneers, Blame has taken his music to
new heights recently as his sound continues to evolve. In recent years
Blame’s hard work and skills have gained him a steadily rising
profile, as a producer, remixer and DJ. As well as running his own
imprints 720 Degrees and Blame Music, Blame has released on the
biggest labels in drum and bass, including Moving Shadow, Good
Looking, Metalheadz and Hospital, and developed a reputation for
consistently breaking boundaries with fresh and dynamic new music. The
man behind the massive anthems ‘Stay Forever’ and ‘Because of You’ has
much more in store for 2009, including a further single (‘Set Me
Free’) plus live showcase appearances alongside Selah – as seen at Get
Loaded in the Park this summer. Remixes for Robin S (‘Show Me Love’),
VV Brown (‘Shark in the Water’), Alesha Dixon (‘Let’s Get Excited’)
and David Guetta feat Kelly Rowland (‘When Love Takes Over’) have
already hit the dancefloors and a major album project is underway, due
for release around the festival. With support from a whole host of top
Radio 1 DJs, Blame is going from strength-to-strength and enjoying one
of his busiest years yet. Definitely one to watch!
TOM MIDDLETON
www.myspace.com/tommiddleton
To the untrained eye Tom Middleton is just another DJ. Beard, box of
records… bounces behind the decks. You seen one, you’ve seen them
all, right? Wrong. You see Tom isn’t just a DJ. He’s a scientist; a
meticulous technician with a thirst for all musical forms from
breakbeat to baroque. He’s one of the most uplifting, crowd-pleasing
DJs Get Loaded has ever had the privilege of watching and we’re
delighted to have him joining us on the Main Stage this summer.
Researching each and every project with eagle eyed glee, the
long-serving Manumission resident approaches every venture, from
productions to DJ mixes, with the attention to detail that’s usually
reserved for the likes of architects, surgeons and engineers. Mix CDs
such as ‘The Sound Of The Cosmos’, ‘3D’, ‘Crazy Covers’ and ‘The Trip
2’ show true precision and forethought that Tom spends with every
compilation, whilst his latest masterpiece ‘One More Tune’ sees Mr
Middleton remix or edit each of the 14 chosen tracks. God knows what
he’ll play at Get Loaded… but whatever it is, you know it’ll be
utterly brilliant. A real living legend.
JOHN KENNEDY
www.xfm.co.uk/John-Kennedy
Name checked by Kate Nash on accepting her Brit Award the other year,
John Kennedy is to XFM what John Peel was to Radio 1… the voice of
new and exciting music from around the world. John is the only DJ to
have been with XFM since the stations’ inception and his show
‘X-Posure’ celebrates its 10th Birthday this year. You can catch him
on the airwaves between 10pm-2am, Monday to Thursdays and out and
about at his popular X-Posure Live parties around town – where you’ll
catch all the hottest breakthrough acts before they hit the big time.
John is the voice of Get Loaded and has been involved in the festival
since we started, hosting and djing his way through the always
excellent XFM Stage.
WE ARE ENFANT TERRIBLE
www.myspace.com/weareenfantterrible
New French darlings We Are Enfant Terrible join Laurent Garnier and
Miss Kitten & The Hacker on the Eurostar to Get Loaded this summer
from Paris. WAET blew us away on their recent tour supporting The Ting
Tings at Brixton Academy with their downright sexy stage show, plus
the trio have also opened up with a bang for fellow Get Loaded rocker
Peaches – causing quite a stir on the blogs! Blurring the distinction
between rock band and electro pop addiction, WAET talk about how young
people see the world today, how they could smartly mix fashion
culture, web domination and video game attraction. Nice.
