Liebing has gone through a similar evolution, as he is celebrating the tenth anniversary of his label CLR this year. Luke Slater signed for an impressive comeback this year under the Planetary Assault Systems moniker, on the hip Ostgut Ton label. The Green Room will be opened by FADER, the man behind the excellent Curle Recordings.

@ BLUE ROOM
Headliners at the Blue Room this year are BOYS NOIZE and TIGA, 2 acts who ? along with acts like Erol Alkan and Justice ? heralded a whole new era in the electro/techno scene. Alex Ridha aka Boys Noize is without any doubt the most popular DJ of the moment. His second full-length album ?Power? is out in September. Tiga made quite an impression with his second album ?Ciao!?, featuring the Dewaele brothers and James Murphy. He is also the man behind Turbo, the label of Russia's THE PROXY, who scored major club hits with ?Raven? and ?Dancer In The Dark?. And of ZZT, the joint venture of Tiga and ZOMBIE NATION. On ?Zombielicious?, the latter has perfectly bridged the gap between electro and rave anno 2009. Now the fuss about the electro of Kitsuné and Ed Banger is dying out, the focus is slowly moving to the States, where labels like Mad Decent (Diplo), Dim Mak (Steve Aoki) and Fool?s Gold (A-Trak) are tops. A-TRAK is a five-fold turntablism world champion and Kanye West's personal DJ, but he is as least as involved with electro and related styles. Belgian ravers in the Blue Room are THE SUBS who are really making a name for themselves abroad as well, and PARTYHARDERS SQUAD, a group of electro wizards annex graphic designers from Liège who can show off with a residence at the trendy Social Club in Paris.

@ RED ROOM: WHITE NOISE
Just like last year, the Red Room is hosted by the Don Of Techno DAVE CLARKE and his White Noise radio show. He is accompanied by the likes of Pascal Arbez-Nicolas aka ?the Wagner of rave? but mainly known as VITALIC. September will see the release of the eagerly awaited follow-up to his classic 2005 debut ?OK Cowboy?. The album might be titled ?Flashmob?, it might be inspired by disco and sound like a mix of R?n?B, Jean Michel Jarre, Justice and Metro Area. Expectations run high, since he has promised to come to I Love Techno with a spectacular live show. LEN FAKI serves a mix of techno, minimal, house and dubstep and is a resident at Berlin's Berghain (and related label Ostgut Ton), which was elected best club in the world by dance bible DJ Mag. SPEEDY J has done way more than just earn his stripes in the world of dance. He was one of the first techno producers from the Benelux countries to spread the style across Europe, he managed to release his stuff on labels such as Plus 8 (Richie Hawtin) and Warp and was particularly influential thanks to his particular mix of DJ and live elements in his sets...
