Fri. 21 Jan, 2011 at 5:00pm - Mon. 24 Jan, 2011 at 8:00pm
Beaufort, VIC 3373
2011 promises to be another amazing long weekend with a lineup that we believe to be our best ever. Diversity will once again abound with some of the most talented DJ’s, producers and bands from across the globe and Australia converging on Western Victoria.
Soul expanding workshops, art, performances, delectable food and activities will flood your weekend and as always there will be friends to reunite with and meet for the first time.
Keep an eye on the website for more announcements and info in the weeks to come
Announced so far:
After months of tough negotiations we are finally pleased to announce Shpongle have agreed to extend their stay in Australia to perform live at Rainbow Serpent Festival 2011.
The full ten-piece ensemble will include founding members Simon Posford and Raja Ram, together with live vocals, cello, drums, keyboards and ethnic and Eastern instruments that have helped to forge their fluid, evocative sound. From pure electronic beginnings of their early releases, Shpongle has evolved into a full live experience, crossing over into jamband and world music headspaces.
With their Melbourne show at the Forum Theatre sold out and the Sydney show selling fast we can’t express how fortunate we are to receive one more opportunity to experience Shpongle Live in Australia.
Mathew Jonson really is one of a kind.
He’s developed one of the most distinctive voices in electronic dance music: when you hear one of Jonson’s tracks, you almost immediately know it’s his.
His music offers a rare fusion of populist intensities and nuanced musicality, with a keen understanding for the needs of the dancefloor and the universal laws of house and techno.
Mat’s standards for sounds and presentation are exacting. Both on stage and in the studio, Jonson’s fealty to analogue equipment and real-time play serves as a standard-bearer for a kind of electronic music that goes way beyond the drag ‘n’ drop world of digital composition.
Last time he was with us in 2009 he was so hot he set a speaker on fire. So armed with a truck full of fire extinguishers we welcome Mathew back for Rainbow 2011.
Tomasz is without question one of the most successful producers in hypnotic and atmospheric trance in the world. Under this trademark, Atmos had released three albums, loads of singles and has countless appearances on compilations.
More importantly, his music has been embraced, played and loved by such a broad spectra of people, ranging from the top 10 DJ’s to aspiring bedroom DJ’s all over the world.
He has toured all parts of the globe, to every possible kind of event for well over 12 years now and with great success.
Last year we were rapt to have him perform at the Rainbow Serpent launch party, but to be honest there nothing like experiencing the magic of Tomasz’s music outdoors so we simply had to ask him back for Rainbow 2011.
VibeSquaD, aka Aaron Holstein, is Colorado’s most beloved bass music producer/performer/innovator. His trained musical background contribute to his unique take on bass music, which carries him around the country playing packed clubs coast to coast.
Since VibeSquaD’s inception in 2007, he has released three full-length albums, two previous EP’s, as well as remixes and singles for Interchill, Multi Music and Proboscis. The New Creatures EP is his next release, showcasing his top-notch production skills and originality over the course of six tracks. The EP is charged with the energy and positivity that has come to define VibeSquaD’s signature sound and vibrant stage persona.
We’ve been after Aaron for a few years now and are glad to say he will finally be making his Rainbow debut in 2011.
Eitan Carmi, better known as Fatali, is regarded one of Israel's most talented exports. Over the years, Fatali has developed an original & unique sound - fresh and powerful, ranging from deep progressive trance to the more “full on” sound yet his music always maintains stunning melodic progressions and is perfectly synchronized for the dance floor. Having released a numerous albums, Fatali is constantly touring the globe, performing extensively all year round and brings an outstanding & energetic live act that consistently delivers.
Fatali will be making his Rainbow debut next January and we are exceptionally pleased to have him on board.
A perennial favorite on the Australian dance floors, Rainbow serpent welcomes back an artist that has become like everyone’s favorite uncle. Perfect Stranger is Yuli Fershtat, born 1970 also well known under the guise of BLT.
In October 2008 Perfect Stranger released his highly acclaimed “Free Cloud” album on Iboga Records, where he presented his hybrid style of Progressive Psy Trance melted in Techno grooves and Minimal patterns. This album also produced a best seller track “Easy” that still can be found on top 100 Techno charts on Beatport, and was supported by many leading Crossover DJ’s such as Tocadisco and D-nox.
Tim Healey is a freak amongst DJs. Simultaneously pursuing an intense tour schedule while producing from his Brighton studio and running his labels: Giant Pussy and Surfer Rosa Records.
His energetic sets are a mash-up of ghetto-house, electro and quality club-sounds, best summarised by DJ MAG: “Tim Healey blows the speakers apart with his trashed out sound, the music is as cutting edge as it can be”. He has rocked festivals across the globe, having repeatedly toured Europe, Asia, the US, Australia. He's played Glastonbury and Reading festivals, Fuji Rock, Burning Man. He's supported bands like the Prodigy, and is no stranger to crowds of up to 1 million.
Last time Tim played at Rainbow it was as one half of legendary outfit Quirk. It’s been a long while between drinks but we welcome Tim back to Rainbow for 2011.
Well-known for his cutting edge, innovative production skills, Khainz (Simon Schwendener) hails from Lucerne, Switzerland. His journey through electronic music began in the early 90's, at the age of 14, when he spun Vinyl in his brother’s room. By 1999, Simon was playing almost every weekend in clubs, open air events and festivals. During that year he moved a step further and began to write and produce his own music.
Always trying to bring something fresh and unique trough his sound, Khainz has released numerous singles through leading international labels. These include: DNOX’s Sprout Music, SAS, headed by John Acquaviva, Absurd, Autist, Kumquat Tunes, Flow Vinyl, Blue Tunes, Plusquam, Echoes, Iboga, Blue Tunes, and many more.
John Graham, creates music that is innovative and heartfelt reflecting upon real his life experiences. He is best known as founding member and producer of Quivver, though most of the music John produces quickly becomes in high demand by many DJs.
Over the years he has used a number of other monikers to record under, including Space Manoeuvres, Stoneproof, Skanna and Tilt, each representing a different shade of his sound, which gives you an idea of his scope and versatility.
As a DJ, John has travelled the world and performed every conceivable hot spot from Glastonbury, UK to Pacha, Buenos Aires to Asia to his enviable residency at the notable Twilo, NYC to Avalon, L.A.

So I had to give my first round code away to a friend. Oh well, hopefully it's still around when she is old enough to actually "experience" it (no, not drugs relation heh, just memory context)
