Electronic music has found a new hub in Los Angeles in the form of DJ duo Jo'B and Daniel Ledisko, better known as LA Riots. The duo has quickly established themselves at the forefront of the electronic music scene, DJing high profile clubs and events across the country and churning out club bangers that have caught the ear of audiences and artists alike. Having recently remixed such artists as Scanners, Le Castlevania, Mystery Jets, Chromeo, Jupiter One, Photek and Justice, LA Riots has been tearing up the highly fickle music blogosphere and is quickly gaining momentum within the mainstream music industry as well.

Afrojack has played numerous festivals, such as Mystery Land, Tomorrowland (Belgium), Extrema Outdoor and Sensation, showing that his popularity is rising internationally. His production genius is also proved by collaborations with artists like David Guetta, Diplo, Kid Cudi and Steve Angello.

Original tracks like "Mars" and "I Think I Like It" hit the top of the dance charts and dominated dance floors, and earned him an episode on BBC Radio 1's legendary Essential Mix show. Fake Blood's signature grimy electro sound is what many DJs strive for but very few achieve, and we're honored to have him show us how to get down and dirty at this year's Electric Zoo!

The Chemical Brothers are set to release their seventh studio album, Further, on June 22, 2010 on Freestyle Dust/ Astralwerks. This album is the band's first to be released with corresponding films made specifically to match each of the 8 audio tracks. The films will be included on an iTunes LP and special edition DVD.

As well as an eight-track album, Further is the band's first proper partnership with long-time visuals collaborators Adam Smith and Marcus Lyall. Visuals for Further have been created to correspond with each track on the album and have been planned during the recording of the record.

Nearly three years on from the release of their GRAMMY® Award winning and fifth consecutive UK Number 1 album We Are The Night, Further is the culmination of nearly two decades of psychedelic exploration, an immersive collection that finds The Chemical Brothers at their least-restrained and most-melodic best.

We're honored to have them headline Electric Zoo 2010.

"Adultnapper" is a shadowy figure drawn from the dark reaches of Francis Harris' imagination. Harris, a philosophy Ph.D. drop‐out with punk rocker roots, hails from suburban Las Vegas but has called Brooklyn home for the past 9 years - a stretch in which he has gone from "hating dance music," to establishing himself as an underground DJ/Producer with a unique sound and a global audience. Relying primarily on the ancient art of mixing two records, Harris' precision skills and thoughtful programming have earned him a reputation as DJ equal to his regard as producer - an uncommon distinction. On the decks, Harris intricately weaves divergent strains into a thick, pumping groove that subtly rises and falls, drawing the crowd ever deeper within his emotion-laden, melodic journey.

Grum's rise to musical prominence went like this: not long after he produced his first track, The Hype Machine calculated he was the second most blogged act in the world (behind Radiohead). Grum grew up amidst Scotland's fascination for techno and trance, and also became massively influenced by Daft Punk, The Human League and Stuart Price. The result is what he calls "a real mash-up of French house, Italo-disco, new-wave, and soft rock." Features on leading electronic music blogs like Discodust earned him remixes for Late of the Pier, Anorak, and Tronik Youth. His blissful, bass-heavy first single "Runaway" was picked up by Aeroplane for their Mixmag covermount CD and featured on the play-lists of Pete Tong, Zane Lowe and Annie Mac. His second single, the infectious and driving "Sound Reaction," is "a mixture of rave and electro with a hint of disco." Perfect for Electric Zoo!

Moby has been making music since he was 9 years old.  He started out playing classical guitar and then went on to play with seminal Connecticut hardcore punk group The Vatican Commandoes when he was 13.  He started DJ'ing after leaving college, and was a fixture in the late 80's New York house and hip-hop scenes.

He released his first single, "Go" in 1991 (listed as one of Rolling Stone's best records of all time), and has been making albums ever since. His own records have sold over 20,000,000 copies worldwide, and he's also produced and remixed scores of other artists, including David Bowie, Metallica, The Beastie Boys, Public Enemy, among others.

He has toured tirelessly, playing well over 3,000 concerts in his career, and has also had his music used in hundreds of different films, including Heat, Any Given Sunday, Tomorrow Never Dies, and The Beach, among others.

Moby works closely with a variety of different charities, including the Humane Society and the Institute for Music and Neurologic Function, and in 2007 he launched mobygratis, which provides free music for independent film makers. 

Moby's album 'wait for me' and 'wait for me! remixed' is out now through his own record label, little idiot.

Armin van Buuren has been named number one in the prestigious DJ Top 100 poll three times in a row - in 2007, 2008 and 2009 - voted for by over 350,000 people across the world, as an indication of his prolific output over the more than 13 years he's been DJ'ing and producing.

What started back in the mid-nineties as an experiment fusing youth culture and social action has turned into a multi-faceted, multi-faced creature called Bassnectar. It is the brainchild of Lorin Ashton, and it exists as an open-sourced musical project that is as diverse as it is heavy, as raw as it is meticulous, and as fierce as it is imaginary. Bassnectar combines sound and force with weight while spanning the spectrum of sonic style, covering every genre imaginable, and smashing it all into a collision of intense, wobbling basslines, hypnotic soundscapes, and pretty much anything that strikes his fancy. He calls the end product "omnitempo maximalism," which basically means no rules, no limitations, and no hesitation in fusing the familiar with the strange or the classic with the cutting edge. It's only natural that he's one of our headliners at Electric Zoo 2010!
