	Roskilde 2002 This year the two electronica tents on Roskilde are going to be full of progressive House and Techno but no Trance. Clubbing Magazine brings you exclusive information on who is coming and when. On Thursday the 27^th of June it is Hope Recordings Night in the white tent. From 17.30 you will be in the company of Filmpalast from Germany. Our own Brother Brown has remixed their track ”I Want”. Around 19.00 the Canadian super DJ / producer Max Graham takes over for 2 hours – get ready for a ride. He has a long string of great remixes behind him and tracks like “Bar None”, “Shoreline”, “Backdraft”, “Falling Together”, “Sepia” and “Airtight” speak for themselves. Starecase with their debut album “Firstfloor” are on stage for an hour or so, before the evening ends with a big bang, when Timo Maas takes us into the night. Timo Maas is in high demand as a remixer and as a DJ, he is out with his debut album “Loud” and you are going to experience what the Timo Maas sound is about. The same night The Chemical Brothers say “Come With Us” and perform live on the Green Stage so there is no excuse for you not to start the weekend visiting Roskilde on a Thursday. Friday the 28^th brings one of the pioneers of techno to Roskilde, Andrew Weatherall also known from The Sabre’s Of Paradise, Two Lone Swordsmen and his brilliant original remix of Future Sound Of London’s “Papua New Guinea” will bring the blue tent in motion all night. In the white tent the Norwegian duo Röyksopp is set to perform live. Current with their debut album “Melody A.M”, and the tracks “Eple” and “Poor Leno”. We got a comment from them about coming to Roskilde; “We have an offer playing in Roskilde and currently figuring out what to do with our time, and how to fit it in, so we don’t know if it is a confirmed date yet. Roskilde is a great festival though, and it would be a bit silly if we didn’t come. We were there last year and that was fun, but we think we are better now. “ They continue; “We might have done some new tracks at that time, a lot of things can happen until then, we are still changing, on stage it is the two of us (Torbjørn and Svein) playing keyboards and computers. Sometimes we have guest musicians with us, e.g. Anneli Marian Drecker from Bel Canto. On bass we have Ole Skauge and it is normally the three of us running around doing some singing with some digital processing and a bit of digital percussion ”. Later in the evening Weekend Players will have the dance floor rocking with their hits “21 Century” and “Into The Sun”, before X-Press 2, the guys behind “Lazy”, “AC/DC” “Muzikizum” and “Smoke Machine”, go on stage to bringing the audience into the night. The big progressive program has been set for Saturday the 29^th. The duo Way Out West will perform live and one of the biggest progressive House DJ’s in the world will be on stage in the white tent, and that is no other than Mr. Bedrock himself – John Digweed. He is one of the most influential DJ and producer around, he has his own label that releases some of the greatest progressive tunes and together with his producing partner Nick Muir he forms the duo Bedrock, that is known for their skills in remixing and top tracks like “Voices” and “Heaven Scent”. Back in the UK he has his own monthly club, so come to the white tent and get a dose of Bedrock, you won’t be sorry. Way Out West are the UK DJ Nick Warren and his producing partner Jody Wisternoff, they have thrilled us with many great remixes and tunes over the years, including “Ajare”, “The Gift”, and they are now current with their second album “Intensify”, that includes tracks like “Mind Circus”, “Intensify”, “UB Devoid”, and “The Fall”.
