The UK’s foremost Electronic music festival returns one again in the lush environs of Houghton Hall.  The idyllic greenery of Englands finest will play host to a plethora of stages and sounds that would keep any techno bunny or psychedelic rainbow warrior indulged in his sonic selections of choice for a whole weekend.

Our very own Darren Sangita (aka Noodreem / Ashirvad)  & Jon Sangita (aka E.S.P)  have been invited to share their sounds, playing a mix of favoured selections from their stashbag of  aural delights in the worlds of dub, ambient electronica and world fusion, blended seamlessly with their own compositions.

Having played at many GLADE festivals in previous years, we can say with certainty that this will be a gathering of the tribes to remember.  The promise of great things looms large on the horizon.  Prepare for a Cosmic Lift off of epic proportions!!!    Shanti Aum.

Here is a full line up of Artists to appear at the GLADE FESTIVAL 2012:-

Dubsahara is digital desert music from subsonic-saharan soundscapes. Crystalline technologies, maquam and dastgah are mashed and mixed in these audio adventures. With a whiff of exotic herbal incense and the dream of the next Oasis, the journeys are long and epic, but the vision upon arrival is one to behold a thousand sufi mystic saints.

Greg Hunter shares another perspective of his multi faceted musical personality.  In deep subsaharan bass zones the instrumentalists on mighty herbs are playing like dervishes, the frenzied Lila of a Gnawan all-night ritual, the heady sensuality of an arabian breeze under the date trees.  Dubsahara is an exotic evocative invocation, an invitation to sample the delights of the divine in Concordance.
