DJ Partyraiser presents: 'Machine City' - One massive spectacle

On 20 October 2007, history will be made in Ahoy' Rotterdam when DJ Partyraiser unleashes a true revolution in the Hardcore scene with 'Machine City'. Never before has this world-renowned venue hosted a concert around a single Hardcore artist, a mega production unrivalled in the Hardcore scene with respect to special effects and other surprise elements. DJ Partyraiser is proud to bring the futuristic world of 'Machine City' to life, and justifiably so.

More than any other Hardcore event, 'Machine City' is nowhere near just another party; instead, it is an unforgettable experience, where the mesmerising shows, jaw-dropping effects and of course Partyraiser himself are the focus of attention. With the support of over 20 respected fellow artists, Partyraiser will keep a rabid mob going with the most brutal Hardcore, Darkcore, Terror, Speedcore, Early and Industrial Hardcore. For more than nine hours long, Ahoy' will be the place where the scene's experts make it loud and clear what Hardcore is all about,  in the broadest sense of the word.

Prepare to be blown away by the state-of-the-art laser, LED and pyrotechnic effects. Surrender to a technical tour de force that you have never before imagined possible. Live musicians, beatboxers, mime and theatre acts, flying robots; nothing has been overlooked in the quest to make 'Machine City' a total experience to which you have no choice but to submit from start to finish. Forget about any kind of timetable. There is no point in fighting it; let yourself go as soon the night breaks loose all the way down to the very last minute. Once you are in, 'Machine City' will not let you go.

'Machine City' will surprise you time and time again all night long, with the most diverse array of uncompromisingly throbbing battles right in front of your face, alternated with live performances and razor-sharp solo sets.
