Late of the Pier Soundsystem added to Offset Festival Dance Tent

As if already boasting the edgy, innovative, esoteric likes of These New Puritans, Mystery Jets, Cluster, Comanechi, Liquid Liquid and others playing in the heart of a forest in Hainault wasn’t already exciting enough, this year Offset have also just announced the dance contingent for 2010 – and they are guaranteed to tear the roof of the dance tent off. And by the way, did we mention that those legendarily incendiary party starters Trailer Trash are curating the tent? And that the theme for the dance tent this year is Miami Beach Party – with all the requisite beach balls, cocktails, palm trees and all round summer fun which that entails?

So, on Saturday, Trailer Trash have got Late of the Pier bringing their soundsystem to the Offset masses, playing a genre-hopping DJ set which will undoubtedly reflect their own mindbending proclivities, as seen on their massively acclaimed debut album “Fantasy Black Channel”. Joining them are London’s very own Batty Bass, the clubbing institution with Hannah Holland
and Mama Shamone at the helm, Kitsune white hot heroes Punks Jump Up, Bugged Out’s Stopmakingme, Trailer Trash'’s very own Mikki Most and Ian Robinson, and Harry James from East End doom rockers O Children among many others, creating a madly hopping environment like no other.

And then, on Sunday, Trailer Trash have tapped reborn electro pop maestro Ali Love to head up a packed dance lineup hot on the heels of his long awaited debut album, “Love Harder”. Along for the ride are the world renowned Serge Santiago, one of the hottest and most lauded producers in the UK, Dan Beaumont, figurehead of the highly influential, world conquering dance crew Disco Bloodbath, proto-house enigmas Wild Geese, dancefloor starters Riotous Rockers and The Lovely Jonjo, whose Hot Boy Dancing Spot nights are causing riots all over the East End.

They join an all-star cast of the best and brightest in cutting edge music today, deep in the heart of the Hainault Forest, just 30 minutes from London by tube. As well as the music on offer, this year's Offset Festival will host a huge indoor vintage clothing market, fanzine counters and record stalls, and even an old-fashioned Victorian funfair (Ferris wheels, chairo planes, a helter skelter, candy floss and swing boats!), plus craft workshops (learn dressmaking, screenprinting and metalworks design), in addition to our famed choice picks of delicious foods from around the world.

Earlybird tickets now available - £55 non-camping/ £65 camping – more information at www.offsetfestival.co.uk
