wayoutwest-2010-1Way Out West who had a rather large 2009 thanks to the release of their hugely acclaimed artist album 'We Love Machine' have just been added to the already massive Future Music Festival lineup. Voted #4 in In The Mix’s Top 20 releases of 2009, ITM had this to say: “Nick Warren’s and Jodi Wisternoff’s love affair with analogue synths (which they partnered up with some hi-tech machinery), the result was so lush, detailed and gorgeous that it was like this machine truly was alive.

Heroes of the Progressive House, Breaks and Trance scenes alike, WOW (as their legion of fans worldwide affectionately call them) boast a catalogue of EDM anthems which includes the iconic likes of ‘Blue’, ‘Intensify’, ‘Autumn Leaves’, ‘Don’t Forget Me’ and ‘The Gift’ – the latter of which is one of the most remixed tracks in dance history.
