Venue Name:Royal Bath and West Showground

One of the biggest parties of its type this New Year, there's been nothing like this at the Bath and West showground on New Year's Eve for nearly a decade.

Like Slammin's Hallowe'en special, there'll be five arenas, each with their own particular music style, individual DJ line-ups and own unique vibes.

Arena One

Hosted by One Nation, there'll be drum 'n' bass action in Arena One.

DJ Whizzkid
Whizzkid will be MCing in Arena Two

Seen regularly on the international DJ circuit, DJ Hype will be on the decks, along with the plain-rolling beats and distorted bass lines of Mampi Swift.

The DJ line-up also includes DJ Zinc, Fresh, Nicky B'mkt, Brockie, DJ SS, Friction and Fluid.

MC-wise, you'll need to "deal with the matter" as drum 'n' bass legend Skibadee takes to the floor.

Expect rapid-fire lyricism from the likes of Fearless, IC3, Dynamite, Shabba, Sugars and Foxy as well.  

Arena Two

Hardcore Heaven presents some seriously uplifting hardcore in Arena Two with one of hardcore's biggest names, Darren Styles. Breeze will be there too to complete the somewhat legendary duo.

Expect some bangin' tunes at Slammin'

Hixxy - producer of the happy hardcore anthem, Toytown - will be playing, along with the trademark happy hardcore sound of Brisk.

SY, Seduction, Kevin Energy, Dougal, Gammer, Mark EG and D-ice & Reality will also be on the decks.

Credited as one of the saviours of hardcore, Storm will be MCing. Whizzkid, Smiley, MC Rude, Odyssey, and Wottsee complete the MC line-up.

Arena Three

Arena Three is hard dance, hosted by Slinky.

Galaxy's Tidy Boys will be keeping things neat, along with the godfather of hard house, Andy Farley whose never-ending love for the harder sounds have made him a worldwide favourite.

BK, Paul Glazby, Dave Lea, Nick Rafferty, Dave Haslem and Dan Bailey will also be pumping out some bangin' tunes.

Arena Four

DJ Vortex, one of the absolute forerunners of the hard style phenomenon, will be imposing his style in Arena Four where it's hardcore techno and hard trance all the way.

DJ Nick the Kid
Nick the Kid will be playing Arena Four

Legendary underground DJ, Mark EG will be there to entertain as well as one of the first pioneers of the UK trance scene, M-Zone.

Usually seen jet setting around the world performing alongside the likes of Carl Cox, Daz Sound and Eric Powell, M-Zone will be putting the techno into trance in his own special way.

One of the South West's leading trance/techno DJs, Hindsight founder Nick the Kid will also be playing.

Nick brought Hindsight to Mamba in Taunton in September of this year as part of its Summer Club Tour and also played at the official launch party of Immortal Hardcore at Taunton's Aura in October. Expect uplifting hard trance from his set.

If that's not enough, Radical Technology will also present Scorpio, Producer, Clarkee, Addiction and Uberdruck.

Arena Five

It's old skool in Arena Five, but the line-up is still to be confirmed.

Whoever's playing, you can be sure it'll be as far away from Auld Lang Syne as you can get!

Stu
Junglest nutter had a stomping night wasted. Dj hype was unreal. Seemed to be alot of speakers but not much sound. Nice and clean rave well done bath and west

Andy
Had a buzzin night on NYE, didn't see no trouble all night. Heard a few people going on about the sound not being loud enough, but I had to get them to repeat themselves about 3 times to hear em, so I don't know what they were goin on about! Fair ground rides were wicked (back to the old skool!!). Note to Slammin - Same thing, More often! Try and keep it at the Bath and West!

Merv
"It's old skool in Arena Five, but the line-up is still to be confirmed. Whoever's playing, you can be sure it'll be as far away from Auld Lang Syne as you can get!" Funny that as last time I went to Flashback on NYE thats what was played!!!
