Wolfgang Gartner Added To Global Dance Festival 2012
We're wrapping up our week of Global Dance Festival 2012 artist announcements with none other than Wolfgang Gartner!
In less than three years, Wolfgang Gartner has exploded on the EDM scene, with with eight #1 tracks on Beatport (including the best-selling track of 2009), a Pete Tong "essential new tune of the week" on BBC Radio 1, and a Grammy nomination. He got his start in electronic music at age 11 by syncing a drum machine to a keyboard via MIDI and teaching himself to DJ at age 12 with a 4-track tape recorder and 2 tape decks. After initially establishing himself as a Deep House DJ and gaining moderate success, in 2007 he adopted the moniker Wolfgang Gartner and switched to producing electro and tech house. The transformation helped him to creatively evolve his sound and he has since become recognized as one of the hardest working and most innovative artists in dance music.
With bangers like 'Space Junk' and 'Illmerica', Wolfgang Gartner has injected a new element of creativity that takes his music to new heights. “Right now, I feel like I have a responsibility to advance the genre,” he has said. “I have to come up with something completely new, that’s never been done before.” Wolfgang Gartner is known for surprising his audience, using rapid-fire samples mixed with solid hooks. He constantly experiments with his productions, meticulously creating unstoppable tracks that will throw you curves at every break.
Wolfgang Gartner will be part of the Saturday, July 21st lineup at Global Dance Festival 2012, joining Above & Beyond and Nadia Ali!
On Wednesday, March 14th at noon, we will announce the Friday headliner for Global Dance Festival 2012. Tune in to the Global Dance Festival Colorado Facebook page then to see this exciting announcement!
