SingTel presents ZoukOut 2008!
SATURDAY 13 DECEMBER 2008, SILOSO BEACH @ SENTOSA, SINGAPORE
The Golden Experience
Aiming to create Golden moments etched in your mind, ZoukOut 2008, everyone's favourite beach party
returns this December to take party people across the region on a brilliant escape into a rhapsody of
music, dancing, art and festivities.
Like life's peak experiences that unify, bring joy, and create a sense of interconnectedness, ZoukOut's
programme was conceived with the very intention to keep everyone blissfully entertained throughout the
event, to stay and see the sunrise together.
Sundown, So Good! – ZoukOut extends its hours
In fitting with the golden theme, ZoukOut's opening hours will be brought forward to 630pm to capture the
sunset and include the best acts to suit the precious sundown hours.
French collective, Nouvelle Vague will perform LIVE and treat the crowd to their Bossa and Caribbean
inspired arrangements of rarely covered songs from the 1980s New Wave and punk era that made them a
worldwide success, beautiful renditions of classics like Joy Division's 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' and Depeche
Mode's 'Just Can't Get Enough'.
Complimenting the sunrise line up are remarkable homegrown bands like
Bloco Singapura + NovoBloco, comprised of an 8 piece band and a 40 strong percussion team playing
carnival rhythms, fused with contemporary sounds. After an unforgettable debut at The Night Festival in
July 2008, this rousing act is bound to get the crowd moving.
A Sneak Peak at the Line Up! More names to be released fortnightly
Encapsulating the sounds and vibes of the various rooms namely, Velvet Underground, Phuture and the
much feted main room of Zouk, this party of grandeur proportions pushes boundaries as much as the
sounds of electronica past and present.
Besides Nouvelle Vague live, part time art director / music maker and ZoukOut debutant, Henrik Schwarz will
inspire with his deep, infectious techno infused live set. With releases on labels like the coveted "!K7" and
the seminal "Innervisions" he's just the man to get the groove on for this all out sweat fest.
Worshiped by bands and DJs alike, living electronic idol Erol Alkan makes his regional and Singapore debut!
Inventor of mash-up and heralded as bringing both guitar and electronic music back from the grave,
hearing him is believing.
A relative newbie but no less of a force to be reckoned with is Dirty South. His meteoric rise, no fluke after
producing several monster dancefloor hits, has led to remixes for artistes from Tracey Thorn and Tiesto to
the Pussycat Dolls and even Snoop Dogg.
Dance music pioneer, stadium filler and "Son of Man" (as he was one time known as); Sasha returns to
ZoukOut after a 5 year hiatus. A hectic tour schedule, on-going production work on top of running his new
label "emFIRE" is how Sasha stays ahead of the game and continually stays in the Top 10 DJ list.
More names to be released in the following press release next week. House, Techno, Trance, Indie-disco,
Bossa Nova, Hip Hop, Mash up, Minimal, Balearic & Mambo Jambo; it's all Zouk and it's all at ZoukOut.

Artists Storm the Beach
Everyone who has ever attended ZoukOut knows it's not only about the best in dance music, it's about the
entire festival experience, an escape into a unique entertainment wonderland, for locals and visitors alike.
For 2008, besides the usual out-of-this world performers, carnival rides, drumming lessons, palmistry,
massages and inexpensive food vendors, Zouk teams up with The Singapore Art Museum to present
several one off installations from Singapore's freshest emerging artists.
Awards aren't everything but they sure are nice!
