The world-renowned EXIT Festival Dance Arena is the place to be this summer for all electronic music lovers! For the 15th edition of EXIT festival, the “Best Major Festival” will prove exactly why it’s host to one of the most exciting electronic dancefloors in the world, by hosting Part II of Exit’s back to back dance specials.

If you were there in for the Decade of Dance in 2009 you will remember when EXIT was the FIRST festival to put together such a groundbreaking line up back to back performances.  While many a DJ have played b2b before, this feat had not been done to such a massive scale anywhere before. Each night, DJs from the past 10 years played against each other and created the biggest birthday bash known in the history of dance music!  Get ready for round two, with dj’s from the past and present! It’s going to be one hell of a party!

On Friday, July 11th, the Dance Arena of the EXIT festival will again have the highest class of honour to host the famous “Carl Cox vs Friends” night. Not only was EXIT one of the first festivals to host this concept in 2005, but since then it has been presented at the biggest world festivals, and it’s made up of carefully selected representatives of the new waves of electronic music, as well as the genre’s greats that tickle Cox’s fancy!

Carl Cox is coming back to the Petrovaradin Fortress to defend his title as one of the best in class, mind-shattering DJs ever, and to shatter the ground under Dance Arena gladiator’s feet once again. Everyone’s memory is entrenched with his legendary b2b gig (VIDEO: http://bit.ly/1iAf7Ig) with Green Velvet in 2009 when he performed wearing a t-shirt that wrote “Dance Arena Saved My Life.”, Cox is excited for this year’s edition and said this about his colossal gig: “Cannot wait to get back and do it all over again. It was truly amazing the last time around.  x”

There aren’t a lot of things this man hasn’t done yet – there’s the cult residency in Ibiza that’s been going on for 13 years now; two DJ sets at the beginning of the new millennium – in two different time zones; a gig in front of 1 500 000 people at the Love Parade in Berlin… all the while spreading his venerable message of love for music and life. This year he’s bringing his group of music friends to make the loudest, biggest party that’ll last until the soothing light of a summer’s day dawn.

CARL COX vs DANNY TENAGLIA
A music ambassador, acid house veteran, techno champion and father of the British rave scene, Carl Cox, together with the best NY DJ who has more than 200 production works, the legendary Danny Tenaglia, will battle out one of the most exclusive electronic music b2b sets at this year’s EXIT! These two giants with careers that lasted longer than tree decades will definitely give the best Dance Arena in the world a new dimension of unforgettable fun.

BEN KLOCK vs MARCEL DETTMANN
Two of the hottest guys in techno at the moment, Ben and Marcel, based in Berlin, the indispensable ingredient of the scene this city helped flush out, and two of the most important names in newer history of techno music, are coming for the first time to the Dance Arena to show why their six hour sets, sometimes even twelve hour marathons in the cult club Berghain are one of the most anticipated events in the calendar of every Berlin clubber.

Catherine Britton aka Cassy the Caribbean-born and British-raised resident of the famous club Panoramabar in Berlin, Cassy has worked so far in her career with huge names such as Luciano, Mathew Jonson, Ricardo Villalobosa and Steve Bug. This is of the most interesting pairings, and will be a sure delight!
