On Saturday, the 18th of June, the city of canals will be the scenario of Electrovenice Festival, which will take place in the San Giuliano Park in Venice.
The organizers of the Electrovenice 2011 have stated that the most important DJs will participate in this electronic party, an event without precedent for vinyl lovers.
Electrovenice Festival was founded in 2010 with the purpose of bringing together electronic music and dance with the cheerful summer atmosphere in a fun outdoor space. This year, the vinyl fever will arrive to Venice again in one of the best European electronic festivals.
Among the top performers of this event is the famous German DJ Sven Väth, a well-known minimal techno guru, who has produced a great amount of discs since 1982. He has succeeded as a businessman at Harthouse Records and Eye Q Records and he is also the founder of the record label Cocoon Recording.
His work is considered as a prodigy of meticulosity and creativity that arises from the investigation of sounds and his tireless effort to do his best on the stages. Many people consider him as a legend, because he can perform in the stage for hours.
Another great performer we will see on stage is the British DJ Fatboy Slim, also known as Norman Cook, although his real name is Quentin Leo Cook. His big beat style with a combination of Hip Hop, Rock, Break-beat and Blues has turned him into a reference artist of his genre with his disc Better Living Through Chemistry (1997). Despite of the fact that his new work Halfway Between The Gutter and the Star moves him away from the big beat, Fatboy Slim will always be one of the main references in this style.
The Canadian DJ Deadmau5 can’t be left aside in this party. He represents the Progressive Hard House/Minimal Trance style. His work is known by the tracks Strobe, Not exactly, which have been included in mixed compilations done by himself and the most important DJs of the moment. In the past few years he has been considered as one of the most outstanding DJs in the world. He is also the image of the video game DJ Hero 2.
The Dutch DJ Afrojack will be one of the favorite performers in the festival. His real name is Nick van de Wall and he got started in music when he was 5 years old by playing the piano. A few years later, he began using the Fruity Loops software and he started his career in the music production. His hits have crossed the Dutch boundaries with his Lady Gaga and Rihanna’s remix, which made him one of the greater performers of electronic music in the world.

If you like sampling and enjoying the rhythms inspired in the techno rock, you cannot miss this festival, which is expected to be the best event of this summer. So, if you are spending your vacation in apartments in Venice you just have to make yourself comfortable and go to San Guiliano Park.
