ARTISTE LINE-UP

FUEL Festival 2009 (Singapore) - UndergroundWhere no other clubs have managed to get this renowned group to perform in town, FUEL has achieved the impossible Karl Hyde and Rick Smith of UNDERWORLD to rock the halls out with their immaculate fusion of techno, dub, trance, Krautrock, drum n bass, ambient house and even the blues.

UNDERWORLD has distinguished themselves in the music scene with their ability to instill empathetic humanity and deep soulfulness into club hangers, while tying sounds and emotions to Hyde’s strikingly poetic lyrics, churning out soundtracks like those in “Trainspotting” and “The Beach”. http://www.fuel.com.sg/underworld.php

25th September – On their second day, they shift over to the National Museum of Singapore and convert the building to an abode of music and lights at nightfall, where they promise you three days of intense music that will keep you on your feet till Sunrise.

FUEL Festival 2009 (Singapore) - HybridHYBRID will start the beats on the first night. The music duo has graced international music events with the likes of Fuji Rock Festival in Japan, Millenium NYE in Melbourne and worked on various film score’s such as Tony Scott’s “Man of Fire” and Ridley Scott’s “Kingdom of Heaven”. http://www.hybridsoundsystem.com

Following this gig, DARREN EMERSON of Global Underground fame requires no introduction as he belts out his famous tracks including “Crash Jack” and “Bouncer”. http://www.darrenemerson.com

With the success of her gig at the previous FUEL party, crowd pleaser DJ SAMANTHA RONSON will be back in town to spin, with pre-party stints along Orchard Road for the whole week leading up to FUEL party. Samantha Ronson will be headlining the VVIP and VIP area for all three days at the National Museum. http://samantharonson.com/

26th September – FUEL brings the non-stop action even to the third night without compromising on the music.

FUEL Festival 2009 (Singapore) - Bloc PartyThey bring up the tempo with Indie rock chart topper, BLOC PARTY (DJ set). Strongly influenced by modern electric sounds, the inclusion of synthesis and vocal manipulation intertwining with heavy instrumentation is what gives this group its one-of-a-kind reputation. The group has also collaborated with DJ Armand Van Helden who remixed “Signs” from their recent album. http://blocparty.com

WILL.I.AM (DJ set) – frontman and producer behind The Black Eyed Peas helms the deck on this night, showcasing his own artistry and imagination through funky and eclectic range of sounds from around the world, much like his solo album Songs about Girls. http://www.myspace.com/william

To mix things up a little, they present Peter Hook of New Order to take us back in time for some of that much loved disco fever!

The night progresses on to up and coming artistes “FREAKS”, with their chart topping hit “The Creeps”. With a mind-blowing line-up like this, you will only be left wanting for more. http://www.myspace.com/freaksspace

Boxhead will also be featured on this night to bring some Acid House to the party. Casey’s first gig was with 808 state. He moved down south and formed a DJ partnership with Justin Harris (Freaks) we reigned supreme for many years running clubs, breaking new ground, spinning with the world’s finest DJs. http://www.onelove-music.com.
