After the overwhelming positive feedback of the inaugural event which saw a raft of international DJ’s including Groove Armada, 2manydjs, Tensnake and B.Traits along with a wealth of talent from the Highlands and throughout Scotland, Groove Loch Ness will once again transform the world famous location into Scotland’s biggest nightclub under the stars on 20th August 2016.
Closing Groove Loch Ness 2016 will be Duke Dumont purveyor of “slick high-concept pop-dance”. He is currently touring across the Atlantic with performances including Lollapalooza and Ultra. Tracks such as ‘Need U (100%)’, ‘I Got U’ and ‘Ocean Drive’ have driven his popularity and has earned him millions of streams online.
Boys Noize , aka German DJ Alexander Ridha, is no stranger to the location having played Rockness in 2010. His new album is due for release imminently with Annie Mac playing lead track “Euphoria” on Radio 1 recently. Last year saw the tenth anniversay of Boys Noise Record, celebrations included ten parties in ten countries.
Labelled with having a “legacy already ranks him as a leading player in dance music culture” Mark Knight is a Grammy-nominated DJ/producer. On talking to The Sun last year he reflected; “Chasing trends is not my thing and maybe that means you’re not always the act with the most hype, but it does mean you get a long and meaningful career, which is something I feel very privileged to have.”
Optimo was borne out of a weekly residency at Sub Club, JD Twitch and JG Wilkes described themselves as ‘old couple who have been married for 60 years and have separate beds’. Not that you could tell, with festival appearances including Glastonbury, The Secret Garden Party and Bestival and an ongoing passion for the scene.
