Get ready for the seventh edition of Ireland's leading electronic music fest, Celtronic. For five days and nights, the best DJs and live acts from across the dance music spectrum will perform at Derry's finest music venues in the most diverse Celtronic programme yet.

Celtronic 2007 begins with a hip-hop and reggae soundclash at Sandino's on Wednesday 27th June headlined by the legendary Jerry Dammers of The Specials. The event will also feature the Irish debut of New York off beat funk folk hero, JOE DRISCOLL and the live performances from local acts MOVE, WILE MAN and the SIROCCO ALLSTARS.

Massive is the only way to describe Friday's party at The Nerve Centre with Mixmag DJ of the Year, Erol ALKAN, whose epic sets attract bookings from New York, Barcelona and Rio de Janeiro over a year in advance. Erol will be ably supported by the RIOTOUS ROCKERS' highly explosive cocktail of pop projectiles, electro bombshells, inflammable disco and subersive rock'n'roll plus a live show from Derry heroes THE JAPANESE POPSTARS.

Saturday sees The Gasyard, arguably 'the' best venue in town, return for one night only where JIMPSTER from Freerange Records, recently described by Ben Watt as a 'future soul kingpin and bittersweet house don', will play a three hour set.

TOM MIDDLETON and REVERSO 68 will bring Celtronic 2007 to a close. There is no other DJ on the planet who can create an atmosphere like Tom Middleton. Mixing up every musical format imaginable - the man has to be heard to be believed. Reverso 68's sound is a deep mix of Balearic disco and spaced out, melodic electronics made with the dancefloor in mind but definitely a listening pleasure for all occasions.

DEEP FRIED FUNK, GLOBAL VIRUS, KREEP, MICRO ERROR, BOUNCE and ZUTEKH, who fly the flag for dance music in Derry throughout the year, will showcase their respective clubnights throughout Celtronic. All this, the Movida Corona DJ contest and some cracking free events at Masons and Bound 4 Boston makes Celtronic 2007 the ideal way to start the summer. See you on the dancefloor.
