Reboot

Temple Newsham, Leeds

11am – 11pm

Cocoon in the Park 2011 returns to Temple Newsam,

Leeds, for our third spectacular open-air festival, the only

one of it’s kind in the UK.

Set a stone’s throw from Leeds city centre the Cocoon in

the Park festival site lies within the grounds of a 450-year-

old mansion house surrounded by forests and lakes in a

celebrated area of outstanding natural beauty. The historic

estate of Temple Newsam once again plays host to an

exclusive lineup over one stage led by Cocoon ringmaster

Sven Väth with support from Ricardo Villalobos, Reboot and

Seth Troxler.

The site includes various food outlets and bars, a chill-out

area and a VIP platform where VIP ticketholders can enjoy

views across the site and main stage with access to

separate toilets and a bar. The main stage, nestled in front

of a tree-lined verge of woodland, is powered by a

Funktion-One PA custom-built by festival sound specialists

Audio-Plus, state of the art pyrotechnics, a live VJ

projecting on to two huge LCD screens either side of the

stage, and of course the Cocoon dance troupe will perform

on a purpose-built runway surrounding the stage.

Expect nothing less than the usual breathtaking Cocoon

production, attention to detail and top quality soundtrack to

one of the biggest and talked about events in the North of

England.

Join Cocoon, System and thousands of like-minded souls

for what promises to be the ultimate boutique festival

experience.

ARTISTS

Sven Väth

Väth is a ruler of the techno world and has been for

decades. With his revered label and club of the same

name, Cocoon, he has brought techno to the masses all

over the world and, most famously, at Amnesia, Ibiza,

since the turn of the millennium. His learned vinyl sets

included sounds from a vast remit of techno; incorporate

plenty of colours, oomph and dancing bait and, all the

while, are served up with a loveable élan and unbridled

passion.

Ricardo Villalobos

The most revered of all the minimalists, Chilean Ricardo

Villalobos has long been a genre leader. His avant-guard

electronic sounds (for his own Sei Es Drum as well as the

likes of Perlon) push the boundaries of what is possible

both on an electronic full length and a simple 12”, whilst his

sets cause roadblocks wherever they are in the world. No

one else pulls out quite such a varied selection of records,

laces them together so skilfully and has quite the ear for a

groove as Ricardo.

Reboot

German producer Reboot has a long history of great

productions on labels like Cadenza and Cocoon and is

regarded as one of the finest DJs and live acts of the day.

His sets incorporate the whole spectrum from deep minimal

sounds to driving electronic-tech vibes and oldshool House.

For the last few years the man has been playing at clubs

such as Cocoon Club, Panoramabar, Club 11, Fabric and

many more.

Seth Troxler

He’s the techno dandy every girl wants to date and every

boy wants to be. Warm and enigmatic techno releases on

Wolf + Lamb, Spectral Sound; a compilation on BPitch and

a residency at Ibiza’s DC:10 last year have all propelled

this Detroit born Berlin based party starter into the

spotlight in recent years. His sets weave colour with

emotion everywhere from Fabric to Watergate and back

again.

About System

System is a monthly night at The Mint Club, Leeds, which

brings the finest big name techno stars to its confines on a

regular basis. Close relationships with labels like Cocoon

and Desolat mean it is often regarded by the likes of DJ

Mag and Mixmag as one of the best club nights in the

country.

About Mint Club

The Mint Club is Leeds’ leading night spot and won the Best

Small Club honour in DJ Mag’s 2010 Club’s poll. Styled

after Berlin’s Watergate with its sense tingling LED disco

panel and killer soundsystem, it’s the club everyone wants

to party at and the place all DJs want to play.

About Cocoon

Cocoon Recordings was founded in 2000 by Sven Väth in

order to complete the Cocoon platform as a supporting tool

for young artists in electronic music. The label philosophy is

as simple as demanding: helping young producers and DJs

to release their music without depending on major label

structures. Artists include Cassy, Joris Voorn, Dubfire, Guy

Gerber and many more.
