Snowbombing 2010 > The Music

Snowbombing TV

the music

Always scaling new heights - Snowbombing is ever-upping the alpine ante. Adding venues and musically evolving as a festival experience. From making our mark with a world class electronica showcase in the snow, we have embraced live music from a wide spectrum of international artists...

...from mainstream legends like Madness and Grandmaster Flash, cool contemporary acts like Dizzee Rascal and The Noisettes, cutting-edge talent like Kissy Sell Out and well-loved characters like The Cuban Brothers.

 

If there's one element of Snowbombing which other festivals covet, it's our venues. We transform the resort into one H-U-G-E party; from the high street to the surrounding mountain tops.

 


 

Forest Party

"The Arctic Disco is a venue to knock your socks off each time you see it and the Forest stage is something quite special...I'd love to go back in 2010!" - Virtual Festivals
The now famous Waldfestplatz (the amazing forest clearing where Madness and 2ManyDJs have played) will once again see the whole population of Mayrhofen donning their scarf's and winter warmers, and heading to the woods for a couple of amazing planned performances. Where better to party than in the middle of the woods in an Alpine mountain town. We turn the surrounding traditional Austrian shacks into bars and sausage factories, bring down a massive sound system and stadium size video screen and turn the old wooden stage (usually reserved for lederhosen-slapping dance troops and local weddings) into a pine-cradled platform for some of the world's best artists!

 


 

Arctic Disco

Coolest party you'll ever attend

"Keep your Full Moon parties and tell Ibiza to go jump, because once you've danced in an igloo on top of a mountain in the Austria Alps, nothing really comes close." - TNT Mag

Sat on a plateau, high above Mayrhofen is a party venue unlike any other you will ever visit. Sculpted from eternal ice and built using snow; the Arctic Disco is a nocturnal destination without equal. A meandering corridor leads to two dance areas, a chill out space complete with fur rugs and a cinema screen, and three bars (the house speciality is a cocktail served in ice glasses). Outside star gazers sip warm drinks around a roaring fire and gaze in wonder at the unique atmospheric display viewable at this altitude (last time we stood and marveled at a 'moonbow'). Partying doesn't get any cooler. Literally.

Although its reputation as a star-lit night-time party venue is strong, The Arctic Disco is also a fantastic daytime chill-out venue - enjoy the beats and spring sunshine reclining in deckchairs, or better still, book yourself an igloo and stay overnight on the mountain. There's a warm Jacuzzi and the Worlds warmest sleeping bags to keep yourselves warm (not to mention each other!). File under; 'One to tell the grand kids about,' basically.

(The venue is open to all in the day but for the night events tickets need to be booked and paid for in addition to the entertainment wristbands.)


 


 

Street Party

Its a roadblock!

"The costumes really are something to behold, and the level of dedication is nothing short of madness. To come back to the drab streets of London, packed with frowning faces and an unnerving lack of fancy dress was a shock to the system and an absolute bore." - Daily Express

We stop the traffic, park a stadium rock Funktion 1 P.A system right across the main street, set up loads of bars and invite the entire population of Mayrhofen to join the fancy dress party. The street party is one of undoubted highlights of Snowbombing. It kicks off in mid-afternoon in glorious sunshine and ends in darkness in the late evening. Fancy dress themes have included superheroes, mythical heroes, animals, inflatable Viking ships, retro-skiwear... and Bill Oddie.

Most recently, 'bombers' were invited to come dressed as something beginning with 's': so we had 4000 super-heroes, surgeons, Saracens, schoolgirls and yes even giant sausages shindiggin' on da strasse in what was the biggest fancy dress party ever seen in Austria.

The open-air festival feel is further fuelled by some of our most illustrious insurgents of insanity: 2Many DJ's, The Cuban Brothers, Guilty Pleasures, Krafty Kuts, Beardyman, Dave Beer and more recently Tape the Top 40 have all presided over packed pavements and aurally assaulted the asphalt and adoring crowds as bemused locals look on, wondering what on Earth is going on!!

 


 

Narnia

Wardrobe Malfunction?

Prepare to enter a hidden world of adventure, where nothing is what it seems and anything could happen. Welcome to Narnia...

Accessed by walking through a wardrobe, deep in one of Snowbombing's favourite venues NARNIA will bring lucky Snowbombers a secret line up of the best DJs this side of Cair Paravel. Think sparkling snow, (jager) tea with Mr Tumnus and surprises round every tree in the land where twinkling disco balls, cosmic beats and nonstop dancing are the law of the land. Catch unadvertised secret performances from some very special Snowbombing guests disguised as some familiar characters and expect the unexpected in this magical world - but be warned, once you leave you might not always be able to get back...

 

 


 

The Racket Club

An overhead smash!

"The Racket-Club opens its jaws to swallow countless bombers each night." - Notion Magazine

This former underground tennis centre is completely transformed to create a 3000 capacity concert + club venue. Massive sound system, huge dance floor and a second room which could honestly not get any cooler?
The second room features the most advanced state-of-the-arct(ic) technology courtesy of our friends at Igloo Vision - a unique total immersion audio-visual performance, combining cutting edge 360 degree, photo realistic 3D environments and life-like surround sound. It's the only Igloo in the World with HD panoramic surround (imagine watching 'Bargain Hunt' in there!) The whole ethos behind the igloo project is to convince the audience they are somewhere else. Euphoric Eskimos who hosted the igloo included Alex Metric, Jon Carter, N-Type & Dave Beer (a man who doesn't need all this wizardry to think he's somewhere else...!)

 


 

Mountain Stage

Higher than the clouds

"The sun sets behind some of the most stunning scenery you're ever likely to clap your eyes on." - IDJ Magazine
Snowbombing afternoons are spent beneath blue skies at 5000 feet above sea level, drinking cool golden beer, (and er eating golden chips), and being aurally massaged by the only arena which sees the stage manager leave work on a paraglider!

Loose Cannons leading a mass mosh pit in the snow to Rage Against the Machine, Petty Crooks pumping out the Feel Good Tunes and Squeaky Hill running around with targets around their heads encouraging the snowball flight of the century... it's just another day at the office for the mountain stagers who catch springtime sunshine to a cheese-free mountain musical soundtrack (and if you've ever been on a normal ski holiday, you'll appreciate just what this means!)...one of the unique aspects of Snowbombing.

 


 

Schlussel

Sauna Clubbing!

Affectionately nick-named the 'sweat-box' by Snowbombing regulars this traditional wooden venue is always a favourite: yer traditional wooden Austrian alpine holiday disco with beefed up sound and lights, which results in a uniquely steamy atmosphere?

DJs who rocked the Schlussel in 2009 included Claude Von Stroke, DJ Zinc, Justin Martin, Loose Cannons, Krywolf - with Loose Cannons calling 'probably our best ever gig'!

"Baby, it might be cold outside, but at Snowbombing everything is sweltering." - NME


 


 

Mo's

Savoury Bites and Juicy Fun

Slightly more chilled and serving food until late the parties in Mo's revolve around participation.
From the 'Just Press Play Party' (iPod battle) to Open Mic Nights and Musical Blingo, Mo's is more gregarious than Graham Norton and tastier than Keeley Hazell with a reputation for informal interactive fun with steaks, burgers and chicken wings!

 


 

Arena

The late, late show!

One of our favourite DJ venues and always kicking until the small hours is the Arena; nestling naughtily beneath our HQ Hotel the Strass, The Arena has seen a long list of superstar DJs over the years including Tayo and his ever colourful Tracksuit Party, DJ Yoda, Jon Carter, Justin Robertson, DJ Marky, James Zabiela and many many more...and with an extended licence until 7am and extra sound in 2009, the Arena was one of the places to be.

 


 

Sports Bar

Intimate and infectious

Hosting apres ski fun and games on the terrace outside, followed by a line-up of fantastic live bands in the evening this centrally located and intimate venue has seen some of Snowbombings best live gigs over the past couple of years including: Eliza Doolittle, the Noisettes, The Courteeners, Lightspeed Champion, Kid Carpet, Metros and many more...Snowbombers love it because it offers a unique chance to get up-front-and-personal with all the bands who?ll be playing festival stages and huge arena?s as the summer sun climbs higher.

"One of the loudest and gleefully received events of the year. Summer's going to have to pull something seriously heavy out of the bag to top this." - IDJ Magazine

 


 

Pro-Rider Party In The Park

Don't try this at home!

The park in question being the Vans Penken Park; a gravity-abusing play area comprising of more kickers than a Pub football team, a half pipe the size of Eurotunnel, genital-threatening rails and table tops of epic proportions? Watch from the of the nearby Almhof, sit back in the sun or enjoy one of Christine's perfect pizza's on the Terrace, as people invariably younger and decidedly more talented than you, show how it's done to a cool soundtrack provided by a selection of DJ's. Pro-comp details to be announced here... watch this space!


 


 

Apart from our legendary venues, there will be lots more going around the resort so keep your eyes peeled on the website for details of Snowbombing fringe events and one off parties as we transform the whole resort into a festival site.

Every night at Snowbombing, we make sure that there is enough room across the clubs for everyone to go out and have a wicked time. 2009 saw most of the headliners play in the highest capacity Racket Club. Despite this, in some cases, our venues do get full and we have to direct Snowbombers to some of our other parties. Please bear with us on this issue... we do our utmost to make sure everyone is happy, and let's face it, we all know that nights that don't go exactly to plan often turn out to be the most memorable!

DJ Biorgraphies

 

CROOKERS

Drawing from influences of house, hip hop and beyond, Crookers blend their beats with the kind of fidget house finesse that gives Potty Mouth Music its soiled swagger. Since 2003, DJs Phra and Bot have been drawing upon their collective musical backgrounds to create tracks that twist, startle and surprise with synthetic pop. When the two artists met, both were trying to branch out of their genre success and explore dance music. The experiment worked.

The "glistening sonics" of electronic music enticed a grunge loving 16 year old James Zabiela to his first set of belt drive turntables some years ago, fast forward to 2009 and James is one of the most prolific DJs and producers on the planet. Over the last 10 years he has played endless gigs the world over, some era defining like his ongoing (8 years and counting) residency at Space in Ibiza to one off shows like Exit Festival 2006 where Goldie MC'd over his set.

KRAFTY KUTS

Tiger Woods from the tee... Raymond Van Barneveld at the oche...Michael Phelps in the pool. There are some things you can stake your house on and a Krafty Kuts set is one of them. Martin Reaves's infusion of hip-hop, funk and up-tempo beats are as near as it gets on a dance floor to party perfection: guaranteed groove-ity. Now part of the Snowbombing furniture, but eminently more enjoyable to listen to than our glass-topped coffee table and black leather sofa.

MOODY MANN

Moodymann sound is a hybrid form of techno/house dance music arrived at via innovative use of reworked riffs, samples and grooves. Utilizing classic soul and jazz samples, low-slung bass lines and an approach to drum programming that is diametrically opposed to the tendency to push the tempo faster and faster, he has achieved classic status thanks to gems like "Sunday Morning", "Shades of Jae", and his remix of Innerzone Orchestra's "People Make the World Go Round". Following years of 12" only releases, he compiled his best work on "Silentintroduction", one of the most celebrated albums of the late 90s.

It all started with a demo CD being passed on by a friend to the biggest drum and bass DJ in the world, Ram Records' boss Andy C in 2003. His eclectic formation, allied with an insatiable musical curiosity, with interest ranging from rock to experimental electronic music - happily discussing Vangelis, Nirvana and Justice in the same breath - explains how Subfocus production manages to sound pristine, unique and strangely accessible, and why his imminent album and DJ appearance at Snowbombing is so eagerly anticipated.

BRODINSKI

Provencial Francophile (Reims, Lille) and quite unlike any of his Parisian peers. Louis's taste in music is broad and this is reflected in his own productions and DJ sets - which may encompass noisy techno, bass heavy house through to more melodic minimal. His programming is impeccable and he plays with such spirit that his bulky 6'2' frame jerks and bounces when he gets excited by a track (yet he is never fuelled with anything more than Fanta Lemon!).?

TODD TERJE

Although he may be best known for his inclusion on Michael Mayer's Immer 2 compilation, the Norwegian DJ/producer is a compatriot of the Lindstrom/Prins Thomas axis of dance music, a cabal of Scandinavians continuing the Idjut Boys skewed version of disco and Balearic beach sounds. Terje's specialty is the edit. His official and unofficial reworkings of tunes by artists as diverse as Curtis Mayfield, Paul Simon and KC & The Sunshine Band have gained him a following among adventurous listeners and DJs alike.

MISTAJAM

Forget trying to nail MistaJam to a genre for he's a DJ who's from the school of thought where only those who've perfected the art of mixing need apply. If it has a big beat, bassline and melody, chances are Jam's in it. His fearless approach to delivering the ultimate blend has seen his army of supporters grow as quickly as he's shrunk. Along with steadily achieving his weight loss plan, he's risen through the ranks of BBC 1Xtra and Radio 1 at a speed that (a dramatically slower) Usain Bolt would be proud of.

RUSS CUBAN


As the ostentatious Clemete Rodriguez, he is the lynchpin guiding the inimitable funk stylings of The Cuban Brothers but most recently he has been causing something of a stir, gathering together the breadth of his influences for a divine take on mixology; liberal helpings of soul-powered funk, block-rocking hip-hop and of course, some ass-shaking Latin beats are the core to a sound that is marking him out as one of the most in-demand selectors around.?

BARRY PETERS

Barry Peters' career was launched through Halifax Hospital Radio, where he donned the decks in the early 1980's with a flamboyant discography of timeless tunes. This and a long term residency at Boilers Niteclub in Skipton, and summer sets in 'Zany's', Corfu set the precedent for his delusions of DJ grandeur. A loveable rogue, our Barry is a cheeky '40 something' Northerner with an eye for the ladies. Only trouble is it's his Jap's eye.

TBX (Petty Krooks)

TBX (aka Bex) is the female pioneer of the break-beat scene. Our fave renegade mash-up meistress and all round party bad ass blesses Snowbombing for the fith year in a row. Her turntable tech-foolery feeds the party with electro'n'breaks, 80's electro funk and glee-bringing party classics. Luckily, Bex can hold a crowd better than she can hold her schnapps

DAVE BEER

Live Biographies

 

FAT BOY SLIM

He can't sing and he doesn't write lyrics. Yet with more than 4 million albums scanned in the US and DJ gigs that have outdrawn most rock stars, Fatboy Slim has become an undeniable part of the musical backdrop. Phrases like "Right about now, the funk soul brother," "Right here, right now," and "I've got to praise you" have all become part of the vernacular. With 5 Grammy nominations (including one win) and an unprecedented 9 MTV video awards, it is little wonder that Fatboy Slim's audience crosses over into the rock, pop and dance worlds and extends from club kids up to soccer moms.

It also spawned another Top 10 hit single with the release of "Smokers Outside the Hospital Doors".

DOVES

A proper band! Fifteen years of honing their songwriting and evolving as a unit through wildly contrasting arena's - from the early 'nineties Madchester scene to their electrifying performance at the BBC 'Electric Proms' (Oct 2009), Melodic led (how refreshing) and unswayed by the fickle hand of fashion, the Mercury nominated Cheshire 'Doves' are no 'here today; gone tomorrow' outfit and Snowbombing offers a great opportunity to catch them live in an intimate environment...so slip into something more comfortable!

DE LA SOUL

Legend alert! How many acts can justifiably claim to have altered the course of their chosen musical style? Well NYC's De La Soul are in that elite. Their 1989 long player, 'Three Feet High and Rising' is required listening for anyone with an interest in hip hop and breaks.
With its colorful, neo-psychedelic collage of samples and styles, plus the Long Island trio's low-key, clever rhymes and goofy humor, the album sounded like nothing else in hip-hop. Where most of their contemporaries drew directly from old-school rap, funk, or Public Enemy's dense sonic barrage, De La Soul were gentler and more eclectic, taking in not only funk and soul, but also pop, jazz, reggae, and psychedelia. With its playful wordplay, innovative sampling, and witty skits, the band's debut album has been universally hailed as a hip-hop masterpiece (voted 'Album of the Year' by NME Magazine etc). In 2006, the group won a Grammy for their collaboration with the Gorillaz on the single "Feel Good Inc." Their live performances are a hip hop history lesson...education doesn't get much more enjoyable!

Dan Le Sac VS SCROOBIUS PIP

The pair are Daniel Stephens (aka dan le sac; production, programming, keyboards, guitars and backing vocals), and David Peter Meads (aka Scroobius Pip; vocals/rapper). The name "Scroobius Pip" is an intentional misspelling of the Edward Lear poem, The Scroobious Pip Their first single was "Thou Shalt Always Kill", which was signed by Rob Da Banks "Sunday Best" label.? Their debut album "Angles", reached 31 in the UK album chart. Following a memorable 2009 Glastonbury Festival appearance the duo's profile is on the rise...in fact they're coming to get you!

THE CUBAN BROTHERS

(Mercifully) unique. Born of the loins of 'seventies Havana, nurtured on a diet of soulful, sexy tunes and inspired by Cuban fact and mythology. Their legendary performances combine music, riotous comedy, both physical and observational, and sensational dancing - consequently the energy and genitalia at every show is considerable.

Brian Cristopher

Brian Cristopher played the classical guitar as a boy (until the girls and the beers arrived on the scene). He tried to go for the acceptable career but ended up A.W.O.L with a Volkswagon Camper and a P.A. system; playing/busking his way around Europe ever since.
He has performed more than 4500 gigs in Portugal,France,Italy,Holland Germany and of course Austria which is where he now lives with wife and two kids. His approach to gigs is very relaxed and raw,just an acoustic guitar and vocals, very low tech but it always seem to do work wonders.
