Sensation will present their mind-blowing new show ‘The Ocean of White’, which premiered at the Amsterdam Arena on the 5th of July 2008. The concept of such a unique event was conceived by ID&T, the number one event organiser in the Netherlands. Sensation has now become the flagship event on ID&T’s calendar, celebrating it’s 10th edition this year, and the company is very proud  and excited to be coming to Switzerland in 2009. Duncan Stutterheim, CEO and founder; ‘ Zurich is known as one of  Europe’s hippest cities, renowned for its nightlife and premium clubbing culture and we are very happy to finally bring Sensation to Switzerland.’
Sensation’s inaugural event was held in Amsterdam back in 2000, and this  multimedia spectacle now sells  40,000 tickets each year to visitors from across the globe within hours. Innovative staging techniques, lightshows and lasers, video projections and live cameras, not to mention the fact that every single reveller is dressed head-to-toe in white, all help to create an atmosphere that makes Sensation the phenomenon it is. The spectator genuinely becomes part of the strange and alluring dream world, and the only way to fully appreciate the surreal ambience of the event is to experience it first-hand – along with many thousands of others at the Hallenstadion!
Nine years after the world’s leading dance event debuted in the Amsterdam ArenA, other cities across Europe and the world have discovered the unforgettable experience that is Sensation. In 2007, the event was staged in seven European countries, from Belgium and Germany to Poland and the Czech Republic, and was held in 12 countries worldwide in 2008, to include for the first time, along with 18 other countries, in 2009 - Zurich, Switzerland. Sensation in Switzerland starts at 22.00 hours and ends at 05.00 hours.
Tickets will go on sale in February, exact date and price to be announced.

OLIVER STUMM

Oliver Stumm is part of the NY based production and DJ duo named A Touch Of Class together with Domie Clausen. They founded A Touch Of Class Recordings in 1999 as a platform to release their own music material as well as help launch other acts. Oliver, born in Boston, USA, has a master's degree in Mathematics and Computer Science and is a classically trained musician. As a student in Switzerland he started DJing in '87 "to make some cash" and because he always loved music and the affect it has on people. He soon was lauded for his musical sensibility and talent and became somewhat a household name in Switzerland, organizing huge warehouse-style parties before he moved to New York City. In NY in the mid 90s, he started the label imprint Liquid Groove and worked under the alias H2O, creating club classics such as "Take Me higher", "Nobody's Business" and "You Can Run...". Oliver Stumm will open the first-ever Sensation in Switzerland.

DIRTY SOUTH

Over the past 3 years, Grammy Nominated DJ/Producer Dirty South aka Dragan Roganovic has made an instant name for himself in the dance music industry, impressing the who’s who of international DJs, producers, media and music lovers with his uncanny ability to dish up ready-made dancefloor bombs. Born in Europe and moved to Australia when he was 13, Dragan’s thirst for music took a hold of him from a young age. When Dragan injected his trademark house groove into Evermore’s ‘It’s too Late’ rock hit in 2006, the entire dance music world stood up and took notice. Included on his self-titled EP of 2006 out through respected Australian imprint Vicious Vinyl, ‘It’s too Late’, topped dance charts worldwide and saw Dirty South nominated for a coveted ARIA award (Australian Recording Industry Association) - a stunning follow-up to the previous year’s nomination for his red-hot single ‘Sleazy’. His latest acknowledgement comes from this years’ WMC, where he picked up the award for Best Remixer. With only a few short years under his belt in the international production scene, Dirty South’s potential to achieve tremendous musical heights seems limitless.

FEDDE LE GRAND

Fedde le Grand stands on the edge of global superstardom. His parties had been rocking the Netherlands since 2001; and then in 2006 "Put your hands up for Detroit" happened. The track hit No 1 in the UK, Spain, Russia, Finland and Bulgaria; won Best Underground House Track and Best Breaks/Electro Track at the IMDA 2007, Club Banger Of The Year at the 6th Annual Club Awards in Miami 2008 and secured Fedde the fiercely fought over Best Breakthrough Solo Artist gong at the IMDA 2007. Since the early days his more stripped-down production has won him an elite group of fans, allowing him to experiment with his darker, more minimal tech-house side. Tracks like "Take No Shh", "Aah Yeah" and "Just Trippin”" have already done the business and 2009 kicks off with three more releases – "F1", "Amplified" and "Pink Bird" – that are destined to wow the filthier dance floors. Fedde is a Sensation resident, having a vast number of Sensation's under his belt.

MIROMAN

dj miroman started as most dj's did, in a youth club in Zurich, anno 1991. Musical flair showed already with a strong leaning towards Trip and Hiphop, before he found the style that he still uses today, and that's House. With the time he had to leave the youth club, and he started to organize gigs in the near surroundings. There he performed in bars and at parties, where he established himself. From then on, he received bookings from organizers such as Art & Noise, Protone, Radio 105 or Generation X, he also participated at dj-contests. Up to this day, miroman has made music in clubs, bars, parties and raves such as the Supermarket & OXA Club Zurich, Plastique Events at Schmuklerski and Kanzlei Zurich, The Loft Lucerne, Goliath Roggwil etc.
