Red Bull Elektropedia At Dour Festival
Once again Dour Festival and Red Bull Elektropedia seal an awesome partnership by hosting De Red Bull Elektropedia Balzaal on Thursday, Friday and Saturday featuring Rampage, R&S Records and Untitled! showcases!
On Thursday Murdock celebrates its 10th time at the festival by inviting a great deal of Rampage related friends such as Delta Heavy, Danny Byrd and veterans DJ Hype and London Electricity. After a memorable label night at Fuse earlier this years, R&S Records sets up camp at Dour on Friday with an all star cast of new school heroes such as Lone, James Blake (who's dropping a DJ set), Teengirl Fantasy, The Chain and Space Dimension Controller. Also performing on Friday in De Balzaal are Mount Kimbie, deep dub pioneer Pinch and the highly celebrated Shlohmo. The final Red Bull Elektropedia Balzaal party is on Saturday featuring a.o. dubstep canons Kastor & Dice, Gemini and Killsonik.

- Friday July 14 from 16:15 until 04:00
- Saturday July 15 from 15:30 until 23:00
And just because Red Bull Elektropedia isn't scared of thinking outside of its own box, here's our office top 10 of other must see acts at this year's Dour Festival.
