PERTHQUAKE
Limelite feat. Afrojack @ Metros Freo
The Afrojack onslaught is about to take over control – His 2011 Australian Tour Dates have just been announced and he will be launching his attack on the dancefloor, Sun June 5 Long Weekend at Limelite, Metropolis Fremantle – get ready for the big house to explode !
Befitting his position as the leading figure of the Dutch new wave, Afrojacks success stretches far beyond his home turf, and 2010 has seen him rise to become one of the most in demand DJ/Producers of any nationality.
His most recent single, ‘Take Over Control ft. Eva Simons’, is currently one of the hottest club anthems on the planet, hitting #2 on Beatport, and reaching over 1 million views on Youtube.
He’s rocked the world’s biggest floors including Pacha Ibiza, Miami Ultra Music Festival and Electric Daisy Carnival in LA, and his rise to fame as a producer has brought him a roll call of A-list champions – from Pete Tong to David Guetta, and Josh Wink to Fedde Le Grand. His journey has seen him collaborate with some of the world’s most respected producers and artists like David Guetta, Steve Aoki, Diplo, Kid Cudi, Pitbull and Black Eyed Peas.
With a peerless reputation as a producer, his signature style is bringing him the kind of remix requests and that most dance artists will only ever dream of.
Respected by his colleague DJ’s for his production skills and loved by clubbers for his dancefloor bombs and energetic performances, Afrojack is setting new standards in the industry.
Ruby Rose @ Limelite
RUBY ROSE was once a door bitch, student and model and is now the face, voice and disc-spinning hands of a generation. You can see her gracing every fashion bible, trash read, tv channel and at LIMELITE on Friday April 1.
From MTV brat to darling of the red carpet Ruby Rose has surpassed IT girl fame and is making her mark behind the decks. When not planning world domination she is dropping tunes at some of Australia’s hottest clubs, parties and festivals. Even spinning tracks at renowned LA club XIV and putting it on wax for a compilation album with Grant Smillie called “Neon Essential”.
Ruby brings her partner in crime Grant Smillie along for the ride. Acclaimed producer, radio host and record label owner Smillie is one of Australia’s most in demand DJ’s and one half of chart topping and hit making TV ROCK. With 2 ARIA awards under his belt and gracing the airwaves on Pete Tong’s Essential Selection what’s not to love about Mr Smillie?
Producer of delicious big room, progressive and tech-house tracks and nominated for International Dance Music Awards for his superhuman remixing skills Michael Woods is one to watch. He kickstarted 2011 by smashing out the Ministry of Sound – Residents compilation after a summer residency for Cream at Amnesia in Ibiza and a personal invitation from Deadmau5 to join his infamous 2010 UK tour. We expect even bigger things to come and that’s why we bring him to the bighouse so you can get a taste.
Expect nothing short of a heaving party at LIMELITE on Friday, April 1. Supported by our resident Zelimir and duo Props Box. Doors open at 9.30pm.
Laidback Australia Day
Australia Day for most is usually celebrated with the likes of barbeques, beers and other eventful activities. This year, local promoters Limelite decided to break away from the traditional revelries that most of us are habituated with to bring us Dutch House maestro, Laidback Luke to headline their Australia Day party at Salt on the Beach. Full review after the jump…
Calvin Harris Dj Set @ Limelite
Here’s some good news for Calvin Harris fans who might’ve been worried that they’d need to brave hordes of pimply Rihanna acolytes to catch the UK producer-turned-DJ when he arrives in Australia later this summer to as the pop starlet’s support DJ! Calvin’s doing his own club shows and he is the star guest for Limelites 4th birthday bash!!
As well as the already announced Melbourne date at Super Disco, Calvin Harris will take in a whole bunch of club gigs around the country away from the Rihanna tour, giving fans plenty of chances to watch him do his thing behind the decks and promote the new Onelove Sonic Boombox compilation.
