Kiddfectious 1st Birthday @ Area 51, Manchester Over the last year, Kiddfectious has cemented itself at the forefront of the underground hard dance scene with a series of high quality events and releases. The label has been pioneering a unique combination of harder edged techno, tech - trance and harder styles whilst events such as ‘Kiddstock 2008’ and ‘Kiddfectious Ibiza’ have smashed the boundaries of the global hard dance scene. After a phenomenal launch in Manchester, Kiddfectious are back where it all began 12 months ago. This time Area 51 will be infected with the anarchy and innovation this stable has become known for. To celebrate their birthday, Kiddfectious welcome the worlds number 1 female DJ in Lisa Lashes. The Queen of hard house has accomplished all there is to as a female DJ, Lisa has developed her renowned ‘hard house’ sound into an energetic tech fuelled fusion of hard dance and trance. A Kiddfectious party wouldn’t be complete without front man and ‘Best DJ’ Alex Kidd. 2008 was probably the greatest year to date in the Kidd’s career; having secured an Essential Mix as well as being crowned the best DJ at the Hard Dance Awards. Kidda’s sets are always a sight to behold but more so for this extra special birthday performance…Obey! Radio One’s very own Kutski is considered one of the most technically blessed DJs in the worldwide dance scene. When on stage, the voice of our scene on the BBC airwaves prefers to let his fingers do the talking. Kutski’s skills in mesmerising DJs and clubbers alike have been rocking the UK and beyond. Dark By Design takes time out from fighting crocodiles and eating sharks to touch down with an exclusive producer set for the birthday shenanigans. We are honoured to have him on board for a guaranteed hour or carnage and destruction. Expect plenty of heads to be bouncing off the walls…don’t say we didn’t warn you! Kiddfectious’ original All-Star; Kidd Kaos will be showcasing why he is one of the hottest properties in the hard dance scene. With a plethora of energetic tech-fused trancers consisting of original Kaos productions and remixes, this Kidd is set to blow up BIG!
