Earthquake

Earthquake - Ignored and provoked
The indoor hardcore festival

Speaking...but not heard...
Talking...but misunderstood...
Explaining...getting returned by disbelief...
Feeling powerless... screaming...been seen as an idiot...
Becoming speechless... judged to be a liar...
My revenge will come...just accept it...

The Earthquake festival which represents a large piece of the harder house styles has made quite a journey already in Germany. Since 2006 cities like Köln, Duisburg, Oberhausen and Bochum have been the centre for this event.
Many of you will have the EQ festival being held at 29-08-2009 in Oberhausen fresh in their memories. An in & outdoor event not to be forgotten. In 2010 another indoor edition was added to the list in another historical location in Bochum, which has changed owners in the mean while.

Saturday August 27th Bochum will rumble again. The former Tarm Center at the Rombacher Hütte 6-10 in Bochum will be transformed exclusively for all the hardcore & techno lovers into one of the most adequate indoor hardcore locations in Germany. Not long ago a huge alteration has taken place and there has even been build some extra room attached to the mainarea! A total of 4400m2 of party space. Saturday August 27th 2011 the gates will open for Earthquake – the indoor hardcore festival 2011. Divided over 4 indoor areas and 1 outdoor area (with swimming pool) the international top from the hardcore scene will be invited. In a 12 hours long lasting marathon almost every harder house style will be represented. Time to give a summary from all the last facts and updates:

Extra Chill out(door) area
The special outdoor area with swimming pool will function as a unique chill out place where with a relaxed sound level the “History of House” will be presented in a 5 hour non stop lasting dj set from DJ Stanton (Rotterdam - Parkzicht). There’s probably no one else who can tell this musical story like this man!

After his very successful first album release at the beginning of this year he will also present his first official mix CD. A mix totally in Triax style with a surprisingly varying tracklist which contains experimental hardcore till mainstyle and industrial till uptempo hardcore! The 2nd CD has been done by the German gentlemen D-Ceptor & Newstyler. A new milestone in their careers as hardcore artists. You can expect tip of the top mainstyle hardcore! A superior mix with a perfect tracklist which you don’t want to shut off. The CD (Catnr: ROT78) will also be available already during the event exclusively at the UHM merchandise stand and after that exclusively via the Midtown Distribution at the well known cd stores.

Traditionally a very special Earthquake T-Shirt has been designed with on 2 sides a full colour print + and an extra print at the sleeve. Furthermore 2 new cool Spanish fans with the artwork from this event have been designed also. And another “most wanted” product is of course the Mega Abri poster, from which are only 100 pieces in stock. The event shirt, Spanish fans and huge posters are all available during this eve, in limited amounts at the UHM merchandise stand. If you want to have an idea already how they all look, just check www.u-h-m.nl/shop.
It’s obvious that all other merchandise from Raving Nightmare, Earthquake and Proud 2 Be Hardcore are also present at the UHM stand! One little give away: during this event some spectacular sale prices will be offered! Sold out = sold out!
For those who can’t live without it: Australian & 100% Hardcore will also present their newest items in their merchandise stand as our steady partner in crime.
