Dance Valley Festival 2005: One dance, one love, one happiness, one weekend……..and 60,000 partypeople:
11 years ago some Dutch friends decided to throw a dance party near Amsterdam in the spirit of the ever famous Glastonbury festival. A festival full of dance, love and happiness. This festival became commonly known as “the Woodstock of Dance”. In all these years, the worlds greatest DJ’s hosted the stages. People came from all over the world to visit the valley of dance. To enjoy the summer, to feel the everlasting positive vibe, to embrace the sounds that roll between the hills. On Friday the 5th of august, UDC is proud to present the first weekend edition of Dance Valley Festival for 15,000 dance people.
For those – the real party people – Dance Valley will last for three days and will be ended on Sunday the 7th august at the magnificent Spaarnwoude recreational area. Those party and camping people are witnesses of the first dance festival in Dutch music history to last for more than one day.
On Friday there is a total of eight areas at the festival-site of which one is a huge open air stage. On this stage Carl Cox and Sasha will undoubtly be the main attractions, however firework can also be expected by Italian techno dj Marco Corola and Nick Warren from Britain. The always packed HQ area proudly presents the undisputed ‘queen of hard dance’ Lisa Lashes who will share stage with Dutch heroes JP and Fausto, and British artists like BK and K-90.
The two Dutch organisations Electronation and Reactor both have an interesting line-up with the best techno and electro dj’s around the world. The Amsterdam based Loveland imprint surprises on Friday with Detroit-guru Derrick May and two fine dj’s from England: Dave Angel and Jamie Anderson. The always crowded Eurogrooves tent shows a musical program that leans more towards trance than the day after. The progressive house institute Renaissance is proud to present the magical duo Deep Dish on Friday.
Unique for this edition of Dance Valley is the campsite where you can spend the weekend! The dance campsite is a camping trip to the country’s most energetic campsite in the Spaarnwoude recreational area feels like an exciting expedition to the Amazon. A great and unknown adventure, will definitely be a welcome mini break. For some, it will mean surviving on little sleep, but for most, an unparalleled electronic journey. But the fact is that thorough preparation makes partying and dancing in the magical Velsen hills a whole lot more pleasant. So pleasant that you don’t have to worry about food or showers! The shopping can be done in the supermarket on the campsite: buns, sandwich filling, and orange juice for tomorrow’s breakfast. And some alcoholic drinks and crisps to enjoy the memory after returning from the festival grounds. The showers will be available to give yourself a rise and shining look.
Naturally, the real party is taking place Friday and Saturday on the sloping countryside next to the campsite. If you think that the party is over when all the lights and lasers go out and the last beats fade from the speakers, think again. The dance campsite is just a short walk from the event, but most visitors will not be crawling into their sleeping bags at midnight. The day is reviewed outside of the tents while enjoying a drink and a bite to eat; experiences are exchanged, and next day’s programme checked out.
Everybody who will join on Friday have to stay overnight at the campsite and will get a chance to experience ‘Silent Disco’. At Dance Valley, Silent Disco will be there with her ‘Double Digital Silent Disco’ with state-of-the-art headphones. The sound will be digital and people can control bass, treble and volume levels. What is entirely new is the fact that you dance people can switch between two channels without experiencing any sound interference. You can choose between DJs from Dance Valley’s line-up, playing dance, and Silent Disco DJs, who play a mix of all possible house styles. Just see different dance styles and encourage each other to change channels. The headphones are free and people can dance as long as they like!
But the Silent Disco is not all of the joy you can get. In the Cyber Arena that also will be in the Valley, dance people will enter the fast paced virtual arena where gaming rules! Experience the world’s top video games under one roof exclusively created and built for Dance Valley Friends and family. Be the first to experience games before they come out to the public or play classics in an arena custom build for the true video game fanatics!
Whether you want to play an exhibition match against your friend or jump on the battle of all battles on the main stage and be seen by all as you slay your opponent, the call is yours. Whether you are an online dominator or a newbie, the video arcade will give you a rush unlike any other. With large screen projections for a truly larger than life multi-player gaming experience, numerous gaming kiosks, laser lights, projections and fog machines as well as a gaming lounge, the Dance Valley Cyber Arena will be an experience not to be missed.
And if you think that’s enough, Dance Valley is pleased to present, coming for the first time to Europe, straight from the United States: BOOM! CINEMA, a cutting edge festival of Music, Feature Films, Short Films and exclusive music videos from all over the world.
Boom! Cinema is the brainchild of Sid Zuber, one of the original creators with a shared vision which led to development of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in the United States. The festival has received numerous awards including the prestigious Pollstars Festival of the Year, for two consecutive years. With such a reputation to uphold, Coachella boasts an impressive line-up of talent from all over the world. Included in the line-up for this year are: Nine Inch Nails, Keane, Coldplay, Weezer, Snow Patrol, Josh Wink, Ambulance LTD, M83, Jamie Cullum, Boom Bip, Armin Van Buuren, JunkieXL, the Chemical Brothers, the Prodigy, New Order, Bauhaus, the Gang of Four, Arcade Fire, Donavon Frankenfreiter, Autolux, Stereophonics, Z-Trip, DJ Krush, M.I.A., Thrice, Roni Size and more.
Off course a special café will be open at the campsite. The Café never closes and is designed to be a fun meeting place for the festival guests. Visitors can drop by during the middle of the night for a drink, a cup of coffee or bite to eat. In the morning it is naturally the ideal place to have breakfast, read the paper and start a new day of partying in Spaarnwoude.
Next day, on Saturday the 6th august from 10 o’clock in the morning, we – all 15.000 diehards – will welcome the other 45,000 people at the entrance of Dance Valley and the total of 60,000 people dancing in the valley will be reality. One dance, one love, one happiness…….. Dance Valley Festival 2005.
The line up for Saturday will be as amazing as Friday. A one-liner by Carl Cox from England goes as follows: “Missing Dance valley for a year means not having lived for a year”. This year, Mr Dance Valley will be present on both days and the DJ states he can hardly wait to pack his bags and make the crossing to Velsen. Cox will host an own area called Global Stage and will be headliner on Friday on the mainstage. Carl Cox: “Friday provides room for 15,000 people only; Saturday for 60,000. However, the number of visitors will not influence my set. Often, less is more. Friday will largely be attended by real fans who really want to go crazy. I’m happy to host for the second time in my career an own area at the festival and I’ve invited the best techno names for that.”
On the mainstage German Paul van Dyk and Ferry Corsten from the Netherlands with set the Valley on fire with their hypnotic trance. Something to absolutely look out for is the performance of American masters Deep Dish. HQ has booked two of the most famous hard dance artists in the world with Finnish whirlwind Proteus and Englishman Tom Harding. Also look out for the Armada Open Air Stage hosted by no one less than Armin van Buuren, a pretty new area that was a huge success last year. Everybody who loves pumping house with a trance twist has to visit the Eurogrooves tent. Renaissance finally managed to book the best dj’s in the world with Sasha, Steve Lawler and Hernán Cattáneo.
In those 2 days over 150 world class artists will be present on Dance Valley Festival.
Going out of your mind with the best DJ’s and live acts in the world an entire weekend; that is what it is all about. Everyone will take a short night for granted, and catch up on sleep when they return home, tired yet satisfied.
