Aiming to create Golden moments etched in your mind, ZoukOut 2008, everyone's favourite beach party returns this December to take party people across the region on a brilliant escape into a rhapsody of music, dancing, art and festivities...

Like life’s peak experiences that unify, bring joy, and create a sense of interconnectedness, ZoukOut’s programme was conceived with the very intention to keep everyone blissfully entertained throughout the event, to stay and see the sunrise together.

Sundown, So Good! – ZoukOut extends its hours

In fitting with the golden theme, ZoukOut's opening hours will be brought forward to 630pm to capture the sunset and include the best acts to suit the precious sundown hours.

French collective, Nouvelle Vague will perform LIVE and treat the crowd to their Bossa and Caribbean inspired arrangements of rarely covered songs from the 1980s New Wave and punk era that made them a worldwide success, beautiful renditions of classics like Joy Division's 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' and Depeche Mode's 'Just Can't Get Enough'.

Complementing the sunset line up are remarkable homegrown bands like Moods primed to release their new album and Bloco Singapura + NovoBloco, comprised of an 8 piece band and a 40 strong percussion team playing carnival rhythms, fused with contemporary sounds. After an unforgettable debut at The Night Festival in July 2008, this rousing act is bound to get the crowd moving.

Electrico, Singapore's favourite band will return with new arrangements of tracks from their latest record especially to perform at ZoukOut, to show another side of their music and build on the momentum of the artists playing before them.

A Sneak Peak at the Line Up!

Encapsulating the sounds and vibes of the various rooms namely, Velvet Underground, Phuture and the much feted main room of Zouk, this party of grandeur proportions pushes boundaries as much as the sounds of electronica past and present.

Besides Nouvelle Vague live, part time art director / music maker and ZoukOut debutant, Henrik Schwarz will inspire with his deep, infectious techno infused live set. With releases on labels like the coveted "!K7" and the seminal "Innervisions" he's just the man to get the groove on for this all out sweat fest.

Worshiped by bands and DJs alike, living electronic idol Erol Alkan makes his regional and Singapore debut! Inventor of mash-up and heralded as bringing both guitar and electronic music back from the grave, hearing him is believing.

A relative newbie but no less of a force to be reckoned with is Dirty South. His meteoric rise, no fluke after producing several monster dancefloor hits, has led to remixes for artistes from Tracey Thorn and Tiesto to the Pussycat Dolls and even Snoop Dogg.

Dance music pioneer, stadium filler and "Son of Man" (as he was one time known as); Sasha returns to ZoukOut after a 5 year hiatus. A hectic tour schedule, on-going production work on top of running his new label "emFIRE" is how Sasha stays ahead of the game and continually stays in the Top 10 DJ list.
