Godskitchen 08

As expected, Early Bird tickets to Godskitchen’s 10 Year Anniversary ‘Angel In White’ Party on October 10 have sold out way ahead of the August 2 deadline, and with a limited number of full price tickets already on sale, expect Godskitchen to sell out early once again. That’s right folks, you’ll need to get in quick to avoid disappointment!

Welcome the man at #15 on the current DJ Mag Top 100 Poll, Sander van Doorn, whose star continues to rise in 2008, taking out the Best Breakthrough DJ at the International Dance Music Awards (IDMAs) in Miami where he beat off the likes of Calvin Harris, Deadmau5 and Axwell.

Alongside him are more massive names: Menno De Jong, John O’Callaghan and Jon O’Bir, all intent on bringing Heaven to Earth for one massive night only. Perth’s own Adam Kelly has just been announced as support and will perform a special ‘Classic Anthems’ set to open the night – expect an exclusive old school set for the GK 10 Year Anniversary, taking you on a trip through the past decade of progressive house and trance classics.

The Godskitchen juggernaut has been traveling to Australian shores for the past ten years delivering unforgettable parties. Godskitchen events boast massive line ups with some of the world’s biggest DJ stars, awe-inspiring lighting/laser racks and state-of-the-art effects. What started out as a burgeoning series of underground Trance parties in the UK has been firmly established as one of the world’s undisputed dance culture powerhouses!

Over the years ‘GK’ events have become a regular, highly-anticipated fixture on the Perth ‘special event’ calendar. Godskitchen in 2008 promises to be no exception. This year’s event will celebrate the 10th anniversary of Godskitchen in Australia and will be an Angel In White party.

Last year’s White Party featuring the world’s Number 1 DJ, Armin Van Buuren, went down in history as being one of the best dance events ever staged in Perth. This year’s Angel in White party will take you above and beyond….

Join us in white for the trance event of the year as Godskitchen’s 10 year anniversary ‘Angel in White’ Party lights up Perth.

Artist Line Up

Sander van Doorn (Netherlands)
Pushing the boundaries of dance music is something that comes naturally to Sander van Doorn. His relentless attitude to what he does is the core essence to his astonishing success, both as a DJ and as a world-class producer. Production after production, show after show, his reputation is one of flawless measure, and the best is still to come.
In just 4 years, and coming out of nowhere, Sander van Doorn is achieving stuff dreams are made of. Debuting in DJ Mag’s prestigious Top 100 poll at 32 in 2006 and then climbing 17 places to 15 in 2007 indicates the power and popularity of this man.

If you haven’t heard of Grasshopper, King of My Castle, By Any Demand and Riff then you’re probably not in tune with dance music. Every van Doorn production of 2007 has sent tidal waves through the electronic music industry with DJs from a multitude of genres slotting his work into their sets. Radio play of all four tracks was massive, as were high chart positions, reaching the number one spot on more than one occasion. His remix of Sia’s The Girl You Lost To Cocaine is the stuff classics are made of, and The Bass, the first single from Supernaturalistic is speaking for itself!

And so with 2008 well underway and the release of Sander’s long awaited debut long player upon us, we find ourselves wondering where next for the boy from Eindhoven – two things are for sure – Sander van Doorn is here to stay and you’re going to be seeing a lot more of him!

Menno De Jong (Netherlands)
Menno de Jong has already carved enough notches on the dance tree for someone twice his age. His production & remix career has seen him record for some of Europe’s biggest trance labels and he’s the owner of lauded Dutch independent Intuition Recordings. A bona-fide Podcast pioneer, he’s produced and presented the much respected and widely syndicated Intuition Radio show for the last 3 years. As a DJ he’s closed gigs for Tiësto & Paul van Dyk, is currently ranked at No. 62 in DJ Magazine’s Top 100 Poll and has spun in over 25 countries. At just 24 years old, he’s is without question the next challenger to the Dutch trance throne!

His production career started in auspicious fashion in 2004 when Guanxi, his debut production was signed to Anjunabeats. A consummate music workaholic, Menno has continued to conjure one magical, melodic feat after another. Double-header Magma/Momentum and Sjamaan were released on Fundamental (in 2005 & 2007 respectively), while Tundra (2005) and Nolthando/Solid State (2007) appeared on his own Intuition label.
As with studio production Menno also dabbled in DJing from an early age. At 17 he progressed from school discos & friends parties to a two year residency at an underground club in Eindhoven. Further charged by the reception Guanxi received from DJs and still aged just 20 years old he threw himself into music nearly full-time, juggling his busy schedule with his studies at university. In the last three years he has successfully catapulted himself into the upper echelons of the trance DJ hierarchy. Having now spun in over 25 countries, Menno has played at clubs and events that are themselves the virtual synonyms of trance. Godskitchen, Gatecrasher, Creamfields, Trance Energy, Sensation White, Mysteryland, Amnesia Ibiza, Love Parade, Berlin, The Gaudi Arena in Moscow & WMC in Miami have all hosted his sophisticated mixing style.
Menno’s rise through the deck-spinning ranks is suitably reflected in DJ Magazine’s annual Top 100 poll. He debuted at 72 in 2006 before rising 10 places to 62 a year later. He is also ranked at No. 10 in Trance Addict’s annual top 100 Trance DJs poll.
John O’Callaghan (Ireland)
John O’Callaghan’s rapid rise to fame has been nothing short of meteoric. He has stamped his authority on the global Trance community over the past two years; emerging as one of the Trance scene’s leading talents.
After so many colossal releases and remixes for acclaimed labels like Discover, Vandit, Armada, Euphonic & Galactive, there is no arguing that John O’Callaghan is one of the most in demand producers in the world right now. Through both his solo releases and production partnerships he has flexed his production muscles on leading UK imprint Discover – delivering monster remixes and enormous singles such as The Chamber, Restricted Motion, and Exactly; which was one of the biggest tracks of 2006 and had achieved classic status within one year of its release. 2007 was the year John released his eagerly anticipated debut album Something To Live For. The album received critical acclaim from all corners of the globe and was described as “pure genius” by Discover label boss John Askew. In 2007 John remixed Vandits Thomas Bronzwaer – Constellation. This led to remixes for Filo & Peri’s Anthem as well. John has also recently released one of the biggest vocal tracks in recent years, Big Sky (featuring Audrey Gallagher). #1 DJ in the world Armin van Buuren was “totally in love” with John’s first vocal outing and immediately signed it to his own personal imprint on his Armada empire; Armind.
Jon O’Bir (UK)
Jon O’Bir’s life changed back in September 2002 when he won a DJ competition for Passion and M8 magazine by beating 300 other aspiring DJs. UK Super brand Godskitchen offered the talented trancer a residency soon after and the prospect of a fledging career as Britain’s next DJ sensation. As well as being a DJ & Producer, Jon is also label manager of Conspiracy Recordings, created in the summer of 2005 by himself and Rob Stevenson (Activa). The label continues to release high quality tracks produced by a variety of new and established artists that are gaining support from all the main protagonists in the scene.

Jon hosts his own monthly radio show ‘Ways & Means’ which continues to grow in popularity with listeners. Various worldwide radio stations such as ETN and Vonyc & Tillate are airing the show on a regular basis. As a DJ, his sets are forward thinking, cutting edge, trance blessed journeys that have captivated crowds across the globe. Amazingly all of this has been achieved by the age of 24!

Adam Kelly (Australia) – Classic Anthems
Adam Kelly has moved crowds for more than a decade in the Australian party scene, alongside marquee names such as Erick Morillo, Armin Van Buuren, Faithless, The Chemical Brothers, Groove Armada, Sasha & Digweed, James Zabiela, Roger Sanchez… the list goes on. His repeat performances at major International tours and music festivals alike, such as Future Music Festival, Summadayze and Ministry Of Sound are testament to his skills and knowledge of how to work it.

Adam is uncommonly flexible: he can, and does, drop anything from his infamous “moist house” to sex a crowd up through to the ‘Classic Anthems’ you’ll be hearing at GK08. Expect an exclusive old school set for the GK 10 Year Anniversary, taking you on a trip through the past decade of progressive house and trance classics. Not to be missed!
