The 23rd of July 2010, as dawn breaks over the seaside surround of Kołobzeg on Poland’s north coast, the Sunrise Festival will rise up from the ground. A recent graduate to the global A-list EDM festival circuit, it is the biggest outdoor music event in the country. Now talked about in the same breath as Nature One, Dance Valley, Creamfields and Tomorrowland, it will bring in world-class DJs and acts, and draw in over 30,000 clubbers from every corner to power it through final July weekend.

As great as festivals are though they have one substantial drawback: they only last a couple of days. With some well-placed assistance though those memories can last forever and that’s where forward-looking electronic dance music label High Contrast come in. They have teamed-up Sunrise to release the festival’s as-essential-as-being-there 2010 compilation companion…

To engrain the sound & spirit of the event into the release, High Contrast have recruited two of their tip-of-the-spear Sunrise spinners to bring the festival experience back…

Flying the flag for the trance corner is Cliff Coenraad – a man whose persona beams out originality and ingenuity and someone who can pump funk into the most minimal of productions. Leading out his mix with production wunder-team Nic Chagall, Rank 1 & Wippenberg’s club-decimator ‘100’, he maps an early tough trip around the suburbs of techno & tech-trance. Dave Schiemann’s ‘Elements’, Christian Fischer dark ‘n’ long ‘Wildsleep’ and his own ‘Ticked off by Default’ all pour fuel on the floor-fire. Halfway through Cliff begins to amp up the pressure and starts working in the main-floor, big-room guns, with tracks like of Ali Wilson’s ‘Pandora’, Marco V & Benjamin Bates all-tranced-up ‘WTNF’ and his own official Sunrise Festival 2010 anthem ‘Massive’ making the speakers sweat..

Sunrise is as much about house as it is trance and to fully reflect that flavour, Netherlands sensation Hardwell takes control of the mix for the second disc. Kicking off in big form with his 2010 rolling piano-vs-synths spin on Red Carpet’s anthem ‘Alright’, he takes the listener on an 80 minute round-the-world journey that starts with cool, summer-style grooves… and gradually works its way up and up… Alex van Alff & Errol Reid latest Big & Dirty release ‘I Never Knew Love’, Daniel Portman’s reformation of Marco V & Khashassi’s ‘Scenario’ and the Tiësto-champed ‘Switched’ by Nicky Romero all get their moment in the sun. Hardwell’s big own one-two of ‘Smoke’ & ‘Molotov’ comes under the laser before Disc 2 climaxes with Dada Life’s stabby, wonderfully-unhinged electro-avalanche ‘Cookies With a Smile’.

The festival’s unique DNA is available now at your download portal or CD shop. To deny yourself one is to deny yourself part of summer itself!

Cliff Coenraad has reached the number 1 position at the Planeta FM chart in Poland! His latest release ‘Massive ‘, which is the official anthem for Sunrise Festival 2010, went straight to number 1. When mister bootylishious dropped his Massive anthem at Sunrise Festival last weekend the Polish people lost it and shaked their booties to the beat. Cliff Coenraad played a bootyshakin set which the Polish fans appreciated a lot. So it’s no wonder that his anthem is now number 1 at Poland’s number 1 dance station.

On the 23rd, 24th, and 25th of July, the Polish city of Kołobrzeg will play host to this year’s Sunrise Festival. For three days and three nights the world’s spinning elite will descend on the seaside resort on the country’s north coast for what is now, without question, the pinnacle of the Polish electronic dance music calendar.

Very much at the centre of that action will be Cliff Coenraad – one of The Netherlands brightest nu-breed dance stars and a man who will be delivering a big 1-2-3 in support of the festival!

‘Massive’ – The Official Sunrise Theme: Back in April Cliff was offered the opportunity of producing the track that would come to encapsulate and enrapture Sunrise 2010. “When I got the call asking me to do this I felt both honoured and excited at the same time”, says Cliff – “I couldn’t wait to begin”. Grasping the task with both hands, he set about creating a track that had every element necessary to rank as a festival anthem. The result is both titularly and literally ‘Massive’. Released on the 5th of July through High Contrast, its pistoning beats, speaker-quaking bass and huge stabbed super-synths and are primed and ready to push Sunrise into supernova.

Sunrise – The Compilation Album: for his second Sunrise maneuver Cliff will be mixing one of the discs on the festival’s compilation companion. Already confirmed to be worked into the C.C. mix are ‘100’ – Nic Chagall, Rank 1 & Wippenberg all-star collabatory colossus, Phatzoo’s Remix of Dada Life’s ‘Love Vibrations, Ali Wilson’s thunderous tribal trancer ‘Pandora’, Marco V. and Benjamin Bates’ latest ‘WTNF’ and, naturally enough, Cliff’s fest-fist ‘Massive’. Dutch house merchant Hardwell will be whipping the other disc into shape and the album will be out on the 23rd of July – again thru High Contrast – and will be widely available at the event.

The Gig – Sunrise, 2010, Kołobrzeg, Poland: Back in 2007 Sunrise became recognized as a world-class electronic dance music festival, fielding a line up of DJs and acts to rival the rest of the established European events. Over the last 3 years it has continued that growth and now stands as a ‘must-play’ for the world’s very biggest DJs. Kicking off on the Friday Sunrise will once again reign supreme. Cliff Coenraad will be playing there alongside a veritable who’s who of DJs. Armin van Buuren, Sasha, Pete Tong, Markus Schulz, Laidback Luke, Joris Voorn, Dirty South, Gareth Emery, Funkagenda will jet in, make the short trip to its spectacular amphitheatre location and rock Sunrise… right the way to sunrise.
