★MISS WHITE RABBIT
When shes not scurrying around being late for important dates and making our lovely cakes, Miss Rabbit likes nothing more than to bust out some Rock & Roll, Northern Soul and Disco classics. Mmmmmm.
★Imo Loves Dick
The Queen and The Dormouse return with their own unexpected brand of rawkus booty bass and Ghetto hip-hop. Off with your heads!
★SLY FOX
This tech-house wizard also hosts the Mome Rath (Wonderland) show on viral radio, his tunes and attitude are relentless; expect banger after banger after banger after banger after...
http://www.viralradio.co.uk
★Mr March Hare
The resident nutcase is back with his usual/unusual jubblyfunk of silly mashups and 90s club classics. A very happy un-birthday to you!
★GrandMaster Faff
Our gorgeous party animal has been released to bring you the most exquisite electro-swing and Balkan beats. You. Will. Dance.
★★★Acidic Room: (Top, Side Arena)★★★ http://www.acidicrecords.co.uk/
★Cellardore
Roll up for the Cellardore Experience. If he's not writing new music, then he'll be Dj’ing. And if he’s not Dj’ing he'll be buying his mum some flowers. Expect the room to shake whenever he plays out. Cellardore only mixes his own tunes, so you will experience this nowhere else! Mashing up the genres from Drum and Bass to Dubstep.

★Ade Laugee
2011 marks Ade’s 11th year after rinsing out his first set…& since his involvement with Acidic, coupled with the ever evolving scene, is getting darker…or at the very least twisted. Though his passion for ska / reggae remains undiminished the bpm’s have increased. Expect DnB, Psy Breaks & the odd bootleg or three. “Total transportation beyond the confines of an indoor environment”.
http://soundcloud.com/ade-laugee
★Beaton & Matamatiks
Expect lashings of epic tunes from these 2 top DJ/Producers! Making their name for their dirty mix of Jungle and DnB. Beaton is signed to Acidic Records and has been producing sounds that comprise the best of real instruments and dirty basslines. If Mozart made dance music, this is what it would sound like. Matamatiks is Acidic Records newest DJ. His sound is fresh and cuts up dance floors like a vinyl wielding mad man. There is truly no escape from these two!
★Dj Fiend
Fiend (aka Pete O'Shea) is a London DJ playing some of the catchiest DnB this side of the galaxy he’s Style ranges from Liquid, Jump Up to Neurofunk and Techstep covering everything in between to give you the full journey experience that will expand your mind and make you want more.
http://www.mixcloud.com/fiendproductions
★Little Thoughts
Little Thoughts new sound is a refreshing break from the norm. His duby, laid back attitude is felt all over his music and it’s hard not to want to rock your boddy to his complex, insightful melody. If you like dub mixed with liquid dnb then this Acidic Producer is the demi-god of music for you. We are all expecting big things from this up and coming talent, so watch out.
http://www.soundcloud.com/littlethoughts
★Robby Rexdex (What is this?)
A Bristol based DJ/producer from London. He has been spinning vinyl for over 4 years now and plays the filthiest in drum and bass & neurofunk. Expect dark and dirty basslines combined with punchy and techie beats, guaranteed to get the dance floor rolling.
http://www.mixcloud.com/RobbyRexDex/ely ... -nov-2010/
★Wingnut
Hold on to your sanity because Acidic’s very own DJ,Wingnut’s wonky psycadelic, tripped up, PHAT beats are enough to make even the Dali Lama wet himself and orgasm at the same time. Expect soundwaves so heavy you’ll need a crash helmet to just enter the dance floor. Breaks, DnB and dirty, dirty Dubstep are the order of the day and you be better be prepared to be force fed because Wingnut takes no prisoners!
★Technical Pillow
★★★ALAN Room: (bottom Arena)★★★ http://www.wearealan.com

★★★Special Guests★★★
★Grafitti Breaks★
We experimented for the first time using the art room and now we’re expanding it! We have invited Grafitti Breakz along to take over some of the space and show case some amazing works that they have done. Not to mention the live graffin’ that we’ll be doing outside in the smoking area!
http://www.graffiti-breakz.co.uk/
and if thats not enough to wet your appetite let us show you what we always bring to this event:
★The amazing festival experience inside a London nightclub ★ You’d be hard pressed to find a better atmosphere in any other London night club!... and thats something we’re very proud of! It really sets us apart from other nights because we are all one huge extended family! And once you come you will be apart of it.
★Giant Av Screens ★ Both Virus and ALAN are well known for showcasing their cutting edge visuals... It does help that we have a whole media company at our disposal! So you can expect to see us showing this off in more than one room yet again
★Laser & Light Shows ★ We have a bit of an in-house running competition with who’s room is best at each event! Its a bit of fun for us really but it means that you’ll always get something bigger, better and more extravegant at every event!
★Custom Made Elaborate Decor ★ All 3 crews host parties with amazing hand made decor that you simply don’t get in other nights. So combined this helps make up the true celestial festival experience that is comparable to no other and just to put it in perspective we usually all arrive at the venue 9 - 10 hours before the event starts just so we can set it all up!
★Face & Body Painting ★ This should be a MUST at every rave! but its not - Why?... Well it is at ours so if you don’t want to come in fancy dress (why would you not?) then you can be tarted up beyond your wildest wet dreams.
★Bakery & Hot Food on Site ★ We supply the bakery and the venue supplies the BBQ! So why not indulge yourself in a deliteful selection of hand made cup cakes and other treats. Plus having a fully flaming BBQ helps too so even the hungriest of ravers can gorge themselves on the food (and love) that we provide!... oh and did we mention there might be jerk chicken?
★Games & Crowd Interactions ★ From Alien Abductions to fire breathing stilt walkers... Your about to see why we’re the most fun rave in London right now. We have also decided to purposely leave out alot of what we’ll be doing as it will ruin the surprise for when you get here!
★Live Performers ★ on top of the 2 main live acts that are headlining we will also have jugglers, poi experts, staff manipulators, live acoustic bands and whatever else we can think to throw into the already hectic mix
★Stall & Healing Areas ★ If you have never been to an Elysian then you won’t know that we have a whole room dedicated to chilling out with various market stalls in. We cater for food, clothing, cakes, tea, chai, Massages, key rings, badges, stickers, book marks, jewellery, art and the weird and quirky - So we’re like tesco would be if on acid and at a festival!!! We also have a small tube bar that we’re able to put DJs and live acoustic acts on as well so it really is the communal epicentre of our event!
★Art Gallery ★ As mentioned above Grafitti Breaks will be hosting a section of the art gallery which also showcases our own crew members masterpieces as well of course outside people who have something to display. if you want to display something at Elysian please contact us on: gallery@elysianproject.org
★Cinema ★ We also have a cinema area that we have available to showcase whatever we choose to! Run by our in house media centre but we also have this open to anyone who has anything to submit in. Email us @ cinema@elysianproject.org if you have something you want going up
★Raising Money for Charity ★ This is a standard now! Our thought behind it is that why not try and help people whilst having fun? and that is exactly what we do. We have dedicate stalls, face painting, cakes that all raise money for charity! not to mention collection boxes and the fact we donate a large proportion of our money after the event as well. This events charity will once again be the wonder years Charity. Charity number: 1089167
