MAYDAY 2008 - REFLECT YOURSELF
30th April 2008
6.00pm - 9.00am
Westfalenhallen Dortmund
“New Euphoria” saw the dawn of a new age for MAYDAY in 2007, and yes, you could really sense a new euphoria. The visions from the first days of its nascence were the driving force for a change, and it was a change that was mainly reflected in the revamped concept: the floors were divided up differently, and there was the same cutting-edge sound and lighting engineering in all the areas. The result was a MAYDAY event that had three real headfloors for the very first time featuring the best DJs of their particular genre.
The aim and the ambition is to make MAYDAY even more inspiring and even more fascinating, for it is only by staying on the move that you can generate fresh momentum. This is where the fine-tuning comes in, like a rough diamond that needs to be cut to reveal its true beauty.
So this year, for example, will see an optimised DJ line-up for each of the floors. The “Plaza” will be music-free and with it quieter. And much, much more than just “smoothening the edges”: there’ll be an additional area of 3,500m2! The “Empire” is moving into a new hall which is almost as big as the “Arena” – to give techno more space. On top of that there’ll be a fourth headfloor, the “Factory”, so that the full and unadulterated force of hard techno and hard core can erupt with all its power and make a thundering statement for the hard styles of electronic music at MAYDAY.
“Reflect Yourself” is about the special spirit of MAYDAY, the most seminal rave of our culture. It will be the greatest MAYDAY of all times – and your gateway into Year Two of the new Mayday era.
So join in and experience the life force of the “Mother of all Raves” – grander, more extreme and more passionate than ever before. You are a “Member of MAYDAY” – and that is Your Mission.
