Electronic Beats Festival Warsaw 2011

Over the past decade, Groove Armada have established as one of the planet's most-loved and biggest selling dance acts. The duo, Tom Findlay and Andy Cato, have stormed the charts and headlined stages at the world's biggest festivals. Then, in 2010, they redefined the GA sound: 'Black Light', their sixth studio album, achieved massive critical acclaim, and a year headlining festivals from Australia to Moscow ended in Los Angeles and a Grammy nomination. And while Groove Armada were legendary as a live band, their 'The RED LIGHT' show is opening up a new chapter now as a 4 decks-multi-F-X-audio-visual-DJ-experience, putting the unique GA edited blend of tough upfront tunes into a new light.

Russian born Nika Roza Danilova’s stage pseudonym Zola Jesus combines hints to Jesus and the French writer Emile Zola, while musically refering to a dark incarnation of Diamanda Galás. Following up on her earlier albums, 'The Spoils' and 'Stridulum II' with her most recent record 'Conatus' with its dark pop music approach, a mixtape with Prefuse 73 as well as a joint tour with Fever Ray, Zola Jesus rapidly became one of the most interesting phenomenas within the independent scene in recent years. During Electronic Beats Festival Warsaw 2011, Zola Jesus will be performing in Poland for the first time ever.

Richard Kylea Cowie aka Wiley spearheaded the UK garage and grime movement long before Mike Skinner and The Streets took it into mainstream. The British MC and producer’s breakthrough album 'Playtime is Over' came out in 2007, since then he has been releasing another five longplayers on various record labels. In early 2011 he returned with his latest Big Dada released album '100% Publishing' and we can’t wait to bring a little spoken word performance to the stage of Electronic Beats Festival Warsaw with Wiley's first ever appearance in Poland.

Surfing in December? Why not – everything's possible at Electronic Beats Festival! New York’s The Drums are responsible for one of the most buzzing songs, namely their single 'Let's Go Surfing'. Their debut single was claimed as the hope of independent music by New Musical Express as well as Pitchfork Media. Since then, The Drums have released two albums - 'The Drums' and 'Portamento' - and proved that all the praise was simply correct and to the point.
