Junior Sanchez
A union of mind and body characterizes Junior Sanchez’s attitude toward the sound he creates and the results he seeks.
His constant desire to reinvent his sound has earned him respect worldwide as one of the most innovative young DJ/producer/remixer’s today.
Junior’s latest endeavour is starting Cube Recordings, his own label which has released tracks by Felix
da Housecat, Rhythm Masters, Christian Smith and Sebastian Leger in addition to some of his own productions.
Amidst a hectic schedule Djing at clubs, festivals, and raves around the globe this year, this notorious
Latin producer dishes up his newest flavours at V this year.
Jacques Lu Cont
A self-proclaimed “musical robot” and “studier of styles”, Yorkshire-born Jacques Lu Cont started remixing in the nineties.
Shunning many of the conventions of the clubbing world, Jacques has written his own Djing
rulebook and has set his own unique standards which others can only attempt to match.
He releases his latest mix album this summer as collaborative project ‘Zoot Women’. Jacques Lu Cont will be playing V’s Weston Park site only.
Way Out West
Way Out West’s co-creator Nick Warren, with his high-quality DJ career that has included Massive Attack and superclub Cream, clearly has something more than the average DJ.
After the successful mix of fiery breakbeats and powerfully melodic house that was their first album, Nick, together with former child prodigy, musical partner and fellow DJ Jody Wisternoff are back with their second album, and their new single ‘Intensify’ that will set hearts fluttering.
Way Out West’s music promises to be a seamless collection of powerful house music that wears discrete emotions on its sleeve whilst riding beats that kick like an angry horse.
FreQ Nasty
FreQ Nasty has had an amazing 12 months. The New Zealander has been honing his peaktime sets around the world with devastating effect.
In his Y4K mix album released earlier this year, the official king of the beats, straddled and perverted literally every sub-genre of dance music to much acclaim.
Packed with massive tunes and a bucket load of soul, the master of making your biggest nights out just that little bit bigger delivers his unrivalled best at V this year.
Barry Ashworth
A producer and DJ of some repute, Barry Ashworth is a seasoned battle-hardened expert in all forms of dancefloor demolition.
From kickstarting Monkey Mafia with Jon Carter, giving Darren Emerson his first break at Naked Lunch, launching Dub Pistols and taking America by storm in the process, his career has been a non-step flurry of creativity and international partying.
A master of his craft, Barry released his first mix album late last year as part of the Nation’s favourite breaks series - Distinct’ive’s now bigger and better Y4K.
