REASONS TO GO SEE
1 Ferry Corsten The man otherwise known as System F. one- time Ericsson Muzik Awards producer of the year and crown prince of trance. Rotterdam's Corsteh is but the first big-name headline act. 2 Roger Sanchez The Grammy- winning. Jackson-remixing (Michael and Janet). ‘Another Chance' releasing man from Queens. New York is the very epitome of the modern superstar DJ.
3 Eric Prydz From Stockholm. Prydz is undoubtedly one of dance music's breakthroughs in 2004. The reason? The Steve Winwood- sampling monster ‘Call On Me‘. sexy aerobics Video and all.
4 Nlc Fanclulli Making the breakthrough in 2003. Maidstone's Fanciutli has spent the last year cementing his 'best up-and-coming house DJ' rep. Spots with Cream in Ibiza and Radio One‘s Essential Mix haven't hurt.
5 And loads more In all 19 deck- wobblers over four rooms. with a dam license to boot. Merry fuckin' Christmas! (David Pollock)
' The Arches, Glasgow. Boxing Day.
