After last year’s marathon set, thousands have been clamouring for the return of SVEN VÄTH, as well as the latest superstar, PAUL KALKBENNER, the hero of the cult film ‘Berlin Calling’. Also PAUL VAN DYKE, the German dance master will be present at the Heineken Balaton Sound.

After nearly two decades of collaboration the chemistry between electro-duo Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons is still strong when it comes to writing electro hits that get the world moving. Since the mid-nineties tens of thousands of people sign up every year for the CHEMICAL BROTHERS’ live therapy sessions conducted at all the major festivals using suggestive video imagery, lasers and stroboscopes.

Hungarian fans don’t have to turn to their doctor or pharmacist either, if they want to take part in the Chemical Brothers’ electro-therapy that gets every elemental particle moving: they should instead visit the Heineken Balaton Sound morale boosting and happiness increasing festival where the world’s most famous electro-duo will be in the house.

JAMIROQUAI – lead by frontman Jay Kay – has sold more than 35 million albums since their debut in 1992, and directed the world’s attention to acid-jazz-pop with such massive hits as Deeper Underground, which would freak out any latent subwoofer paranoids; Cosmic Girl that defined the moves of a generation and the dizzying Virtual Insanity. Jay Kay has recently announced to a fan group of more than half a million on Facebook the imminent release of the band’s eighth album, and so the very lucky audience of Heineken Balaton Sound will be among the first people to partake of the latest cosmic offerings of acid jazz’s Space Cowboys.

Following the mind-blowing mega-party at last year’s Heineken Balaton Sound, Sven Väth, who launched his legendary party series in Ibiza more than ten years ago, is returning to Zamárdi. In 2010 the ‘In the Mix’ series, which is into its tenth season, has once again launched the most popular German techno DJ on a world tour. Sven Väth, revered by partygoers as the Godfather of Techno, will be nailing his fans to the dance floor come July with a breathless techno party and the most important albums of dance culture in his techno club set up at the Heineken Balaton Sound.

This summer is calling Paul Kalkbrenner - who is familiar to Hungarian audiences as the star of the cult film ‘Berlin Calling’ - not to Berlin, but to Zamárdi. No one knows the Berlin club scene better than the multi-talented Paul Kalkbrenner, who works primarily within the techno genres, and so he was a natural fit to star in and write the music for the film ‘Berlin Calling’ two years ago.

Tickets to the spring/summer parties of the DJ – who belongs to the Ellen Allien founded Bptch Contorl label – have sold out almost everywhere by now, so the best chance of Hungarian techno fans to get a taste of one of the most famous artists of the legendary Berlin techno scene is at this year’s Heineken Balaton Sound Festival.

For the past three years Heineken Balaton Sound has brought the world’s best DJs to Zamárdi and this fantastic series will continue this summer at Hungary’s most exclusive popular music festival. In July 2010 the German dance master, Paul van Dyke will join the long line of party gurus that conquered Heineken Balaton Sound.

Paul van Dyke is regarded as a pioneer of Trance, and the DJ who set out the dance policies of the new world with ‘Politics of Dancing’ received a well deserved Grammy nomination in 2003 for his album ‘Reflections’. This July every party animal visiting Zamárdi can experience for themselves the skills of Paul van Dyke, who saved the world of dance with his latest album ‘In Between’.
