INTERNATIONAL ARTISTS IN TOWN
AFRO B @ WHITE DUBAI / MAD ON YAS ISLAND

WHO MADE WHO @ SOHO GARDEN
Danish dance-punk group Who Made Who are not afraid if the weird, in fact they revel in it. So, when they take to the Soho Gardenstage on Thursday, December 6ththere is really no telling where and when they will go in a certain direction. Just make sure you go along for the ride with them.
THE SHAPESHIFTERS @ THE PENTHOUSE
Since the world wide smash “Lola’s Theme” took over the airwaves in the summer of 2004, The Shapeshifters went on to dominate the house music scene. Make sure you are on one of Dubai’s most Instagram-able rooftops, The Penthousewhen the first beats drop on Thursday, December 6th.
FERRY CORSTEN @ ZERO GRAVITY
Part of the original Dutch trance old guard, Ferry Corsten has been able to weather the backlash that comes with any genre that becomes a house hold name. Ferry’s sets have always had a bit of an electro edge to them and this is what has given him the edge to his Dutch counterparts. Expect big things when he headlines Zero Gravityon Thursday, December 6th.
T.I. @ DRAI’S / WHITE DUBAI
Certainly, somebody that is no Drip is American rapper T.I. and he will be making that abundantly clear when he takes to the pool side stage of Drai’s Dubai on Friday, December 7th. He will then be taking care of business by rounding out your weekend at WHITE Dubaion Saturday, December 8thfor URBN. What a weekend with T.I.
DAVIDE SQUILLACE @ ANTS, SOHO BEACH
Having first setup their colony at Soho beach back in March, ANTS return on Friday, December 7thwith another huge line-up that includes Italian maestro Davide Squillace. Having played a very important role in the success that ANTS have enjoyed around the world this year Squillace is one of only a few artists that plays this type of role.
SVEN VATH @ BLUE MARLIN IBIZA UAE
What is left to say about Sven Vath that hasn’t been said before? Not much. The German taste maker doesn’t seem to flag one bit in the latter parts of his career and why should he. Both him and his Cocoon label and dedicated parties go from strength to strength such is the level of his quality control. His Cocoon party at Blue Marlin IbizaUAE on Friday, December 7thwill leave you in no doubt about that.
NAS @ BASE DUBAI
American rapper are ten a penny these days, but some made and continue to make an important mark on the game. One of those artists is Nas, having sold over 30 million records and having 8 consecutive albums go platinum his performances are a must when he is in town. Base Dubaiknow this all too well and have him stealing the show on Saturday, December 8th.
VLADA @ ANALOG ROOM
Little is known about this Russian artist other than she knows her way around a DJ booth very well. So well in fact, that she has been wowing crowds everywhere from Sunwaves in Romania to ADE, Ibiza and London and that is just the tip of the iceberg. Where else should an artist like Vlada play but at Analog Roomon Thursday, December 6th.
DAVID AUGUST @ GROOVE ON THE GRASS
Big things happen when David August is in town and the stages just keep getting bigger and bigger for this influential German genius. By far the biggest in town is at Groove on the Grasson Friday, December 7thwhere he will headline with a selection of his trademark slo-mo musical ensembles. Part musical performance and part electronic sound weaponry, a David August performance is nothing short of a sonic experience.
DEBORAH DE LUCA @ PLAYA NOMADE
Having caught this lady when we were in ADE in October at the Tronic boat party, you lucky people at Playa Nomadeon Friday, December 7thare in for a treat. Her combination of hard hitting house and techno with a few more recognisable tracks and edits thrown in makes for a really well rounded sound. Enjoy.
