Now that the summer is officially in full swing, the 2010 edition of Electric Zoo is right around the corner and ready to provide the Big Apple with another dose of musical mayhem.  The 26 acres of lush greenery and stunning water views of Randall’s Island Park provide the backdrop for New York’s premier destination for electronic music over Labor Day weekend, September 4th & 5th, 2010.  With each passing day, not only does anticipation grow but the already massive collection of DJs, producers, and live acts scheduled to perform gets bigger, better and more diverse.

This year’s final festival lineup will include additions from electronic music pioneer Moby playing a rare Main Stage DJ set on Sunday.  Other notable additions include New York’s favorite resident DJ Boris, veteran German trance duo Cosmic Gate, the U.S. debut from Italian techno wonder Dusty Kid, new school trance heavyweight Glenn Morrison, Dutch electro/trance superstar Sander van Doorn, and Colorado dance/rock outfit Savoy.


On Saturday, the Main Stage will be headlined by The Chemical Brothers on the heels of their latest release Further, Italian electro favorite Benny Bennasi, German trance king ATB, and dancehall bangers Major Lazer. On Sunday, Armin van Buuren returns for a headlining set on the eve of his new artist album Mirage, along with Moby, Dutch house sensation Fedde Le Grand, and Berlin’s Boys Noize with his mutant techno sound. The Hilltop Arena will be headlined by Grammy nominated artist, globally acclaimed DJ and perennial NYC favorite Paul van Dyk, along with prolific artist Kaskade supporting his sixth album, Dynasty, and UK trance trio Above & Beyond with their upcoming album Ajnunabeats Vol 8. The Red Bull Music Academy Tent will feature Colorado’s self-publishing machine Pretty Lights and his electro organic cutting-edge party rocking beats and San Francisco’s freeform artist Bassnectar. Finally, the Sunday School Grove returns with its signature school buses, featuring techno innovator Richie Hawtin and Bedrock maestro John Digweed.

Faithless emerge once again as seminal dance legends with the release of their first single for 4 years – ‘Not Going Home’ – a club symphony, a 7 minute sonic call-to-arms, released May 3rd.

Maxi says “It’s about being determined to have a good time no matter what. You have to take your good time to the party rather than expect the party to be your good time.”

The single was premiered just over a week ago by Pete Tong and played again on last weekends show along with the incredible remix by Eric Prydz – one of a blistering set of remixes which include Armin van Buuren, Hervé, Seiji and Rollo and Sister Bliss.
Listen again to the Prydz remix on the BBC iPlayer here (1:03:15 secs into the show).

Holy shit! I cannot wait for this to be released. What do you think??
