PACHA
SYDNEY AT IVY NYE 2009
2 BUILDINGS & FULL IVY COMPLEX - 5 ROOMS OF MUSIC
- 6 PM UNTIL 4 AM
Sydney's party glitterati are set to celebrate
the end of the naughty noughties in a style never before paralleled in the Harbor
City. NYE 09 sees the coming together of the world's most glamorous club brand,
Pacha, and Sydney's most sumptuous venue, Ivy to deliver an event of unparalleled
magnificence.
In recent years the Pacha brand has established itself in
the mind of Australia's most discerning clubbers as the ultimate New Years destination.
This year, with one of the country's finest venues to play host, and an international
line up like no other - the Pacha NYE experience is set to be the not-to-be-missed
event of the year.
With the venue set to receive the complete glamorous
Pacha treatment, all five of Ivy's lush spaces will be in use including the famed
Ivy Room, the iconic Pool Club & Change, Ivy Bar & Courtyard, The Den
& Ivy Lounge, and the Sunroom. To complete the scene, Pacha Ibiza's infamous
dancers and performers will be flown from Europe just for the party.
As
the original Ibiza clubbing destination, Pacha remains the venue of choice for
Europe's gorgeous party set to let loose and enjoy music from the crème
of the world's DJ'ing elite. Now, with over 25 megaclubs from Barcelona to Moscow
and everywhere in between, the Pacha clubbing brand continues to dominate the
world clubbing landscape.
And what a party it will be. With possibly the
world's most famed club brand, and Sydney's #1 venue in place, it is only befitting
that the star studded line-up feature the very biggest names in the local and
international scene.

VERY SPECIAL INTERNATIONAL GUEST
One of global dance music's
biggest stars will be joining Pacha Sydney @ Ivy on NYE...
CLAUDE VONSTROKE
('Dirtybird', USA)
Off the back of the most talked about performance
from Parklife this year, Pacha welcomes Claude to its star studded line up. He
has headlined almost every major club, festival and basement after-party in the
world from Fabric to Panorama Bar to D'Edge. Claude's debut album more than made
his mark on audiences worldwide. He defined a new musical direction through releases
such as 'The Whistler' and 'Who's Afraid Of Detroit' that has since made his record
label 'Dirtybird' one of underground dance music's most consistent and widely
loved. http://www.dirtybirdrecords.com

SIDNEY SAMSON ('RIVERSIDE', NETHERLANDS)
Currently leading
the Dutch global dance music invasion, Sidney 'Riverside Motherf*cker' Samson
is a chart toping, club smashing DJ that recently mixed Ministry of Sound's 'Clubbers
Guide to Spring' compilation. Off the back of his last sold out Australian tour
and with a brand new single 'Shut Up & Let It Go' on radio, Sidney is a welcome
addition to Pacha NYE. www.myspace.com/sidneysamson
THE STREETLIFE DJ'S (UK)
As Pete Tong, the most influential
man in dance music put it: "if you think Soulwax meets Coldcut meets Sasha
and Digweed you're in the right ball park...if there is such a place?" There
really isn't a musical boundary that the Streetlife DJs won't cross. Signed to
quite possibly the coolest record label in the world Kitsune, Streetlife DJs are
the UK's own version of 2Many DJs. They start parties and rock parties and as
Flavour Flav once said 'Don't believe the hype'... we all gotta remember that
music is FUN! This is a Streetlife party and ya'll invited... see you down the
front yeah! www.streetlifedjs.net

GOLDFISH (SA)
It's hard to imagine that one of the most exciting
live electronica acts in the world right now comes from a small city on the southern-most
tip of Africa. But the success story behind Cape Towns electronica phenomenon
Goldfish, has been nothing short of extraordinary. Two Jazz musos hook up while
studying music at varsity, and form a live electronic duo. They record an album
themselves with little more than a double bass, a saxophone and a couple of synths.
This self-released album, Caught in the loop, goes on to propel them into the
stratosphere, with a cult-like following and numerous #1s in their home country.
They take their incendiary multiple-instrument live act across the globe, with
sold-out shows from Ibiza to Tokyo, from Dubai to Cannes. They open for electronica
giants Fatboy Slim, Mr Scruff, The Audio Bullys, Paul van Dyk, Pete Tong and Stereo
MC's. They are hailed as the Re-invention of the DJ, and voted best live act in
South Africa. www.myspace.com/goldfishlive
GRUM (UK)
"Grum's super-cool D.I.Y. ethic and taste
for electronic music old and new means he's probably our hottest tip since Aeroplane
first took off" - Ralph Moore, Mixmag - Grum's rise to prominence has been
one of Justice-style proportions. Since tracks such as "Heartbeats"
first started appearing on blogs like Discodust, Grum's music has been in such
demand that HYPE MACHINE recently calculated he was the second most blogged act
in the world, behind Radiohead. www.myspace.com/grummmusic
THE ASTON SHUFFLE
Quite simply, Australia's hottest
and most in demand DJ/Producers. The Aston Shuffle aka TAS have not only achieved
a distinctly identifiable sound - something akin to power-raving on an indie groove
- but they've achieved that elusive zen of making it all seem completely bloody
effortless. Not just the current #3 DJs in Australia as voted by the ITM Top 50
poll, they are also the darlings of Triple J thanks to hits such as 'For Everyone',
'Stomp Yo Shoes' and 'Do You Want More'. And with their disc of the 2010 Ministry
of Sound Annual just about to land, TAS show no signs of slowing down. www.myspace.com/theastonshuffle
GOODWILL (AUS)
He produces several genres of music under several
different pseudonyms, leaks his own white label bootleg mash-ups to fellow DJs
and onto rocking dance floors, mixes Ministry of Sound compilation after Ministry
of Sound compilation, remixes megastars, tours Australia and the world, has an
alarming, thankfully rare, stage diving habit, fronts a national radio show, knows
far too many people (far too well) and can drink drunks under the table www.myspace.com/djgoodwil
