It is the year 2106 - world peace at long last. Humankind is holding hands and the clubs of the world unite. Previously hostile nations, states and religious communities are coming together while diametrically opposed styles and beats are mingling on the dance floor.

From the official press release:

World Government officially proclaims April 30, 2106, World Club Day. The biggest sound system in human history is installed on the Eurasian tectonic plate. Its sonar energy is derived from geothermic power and nuclear fusion, seeing that the remaining fossil energy reserves have been allocated exclusively to vinyl production by decree of World Government.
The Alps and the Andean Range, the Rocky Mountains and the Tibetan highlands serve as bass reflectors. All public squares, streets, deserts, valleys, and plateaus are transformed into dance flows, rave areas, chill out lounges and the like. The orbit around the planet is equipped with giant sun sails which illuminate the planet in flickering lights and yet unseen colours. Billions of hands reach out in ecstasy as the moon over Europe turns into a huge projection screen and illuminates the horizon as the biggest disco globe in history.

And then, at 6 PM sharp, Central European Time, the continents start trembling, shaken by the biggest beat of all times. Across the world shrieks of excitement can be heard as the moon finally sports the Mayday logo.

In spherical movement the sound waves expand across the universe. With a three-day delay the colony on Mars files a complaint about excessive noise.

Yep they sure know how to write a science fiction press release at Mayday, but they also know how to compile an awesome line-up! Check this out;

Live

The Prodigy
Voodoo people from outer space. Liam and the boys are a synonym for Rave - just like Mayday. The masses of the Dancing Universe enjoy following them. Right after landing, they check out the new energy flashes. Kazoom! Let's go berzerk!

Westbam & Band
The Master of the United Nations of Rave has a vision. It's universal and it's proven. Why leave the instruments to the rockers if you can play them yourself? Rock for world peace! 15 years of bam bam bam @ Mayday. Including drums, guitars, and bass. Straight in yer face!

Members of Mayday
What a long-standing tradition! The parliament of grooves, aka The World Club, again convenes in the epicentre of beats at the Global Westphalia Bass Dome. United we stand! Solemnly illuminated, they celebrate the klonks and bleeps of the 15 year old Sonic Empire.

Anthony Rother
Electro, body, music. Or maybe it is: electro, music, body? Did Anthony Rother already complete his cyborg transformation? Maybe he doesn't join us from Offenbach, but from the future? Who knows? Click, click. In Electro we trust!

Northern Lite
Are these the apocalyptic Horsemen from the Book of Revelation -- or are they the Messiahs from Terra Quadrant Thuringia? The energy they release keeps the world in suspense and has the crowd hold its breath. And they have only just begun their peaceful crusade! Neo Pop now!

Lexy & K-Paul
From which solar system have these two been sent onto the field? The vibes exuding from L&K at their Berlin home base are definitely positive. Which generation of cybernetics do they belong to? Whichever it is, they enjoy gracing Mayday World Games once more. Welcome home!

Einmusik
Einmusik are some busy astral bees from the Northern hemisphere of Techno. Somewhat nervously, but confidently they enter the galactic circus arena, travelling all sectors of planet Germany and always bringing a whole load of minimal Pop and crisp Techno. Crack it with an attitudeŠ

Booka Shade
Get physical! Walter and Arno are floating in from Deep Space. Welcome to Mayday base station! Deactivate all optical and acoustic shield systems, for they have come to dance! Let the Groove take over.


DJs

Paul van Dyk
This is the A student of advanced electronic music. The only traveller in this solar system with a frequent flyer status. A man of principles. The appearance of this knight at the Round Table of Mayday is a question of honour; even if his Vandit space jet is already landing again at the other side of the known universe in just a few hours.

Ferry Corsten
FC represents the occult knowledge of the Dutch Trance Federation which, at the interstellar level, is in charge of fantastic soundscapes, of strings and general getting down. In his own words, his foremost qualities are "loud, electronic, and ferocious." Watch out for L.E.F.!

Chris Liebing
This is the Dark Lord of Techno. Perhaps an incarnation of Darth Vader? The power pulsing under his shimmering metallic Armour of Noise is unparalleled. Hard and complex, and traditionally heavy. Gimme some extra bullets!

Takkyu Ishino
For many years now, Takkyu has been our revered ambassador from the settlements of Asia; the Rising Sun of Mayday at the global horizon of Techno. Relentlessly making his way with a stopover at Westphalia's Dome.

Jesper Dahlbeck
Swedish supplier of high-end tools for any dance floor. It will remain his professional secret where he has acquired his stunning skills. A real professional who is appreciated by all of the Mayday people. Credit where credit is due. Jesper makes us sweat, but boy, he does it with style.

Tom Novy
Munich without Novy? The world without Novy? Mayday sans Novy? Heaven forbid, this would be inconceivably sad. He keeps catapulting himself into new sonic spheres, yet remaining faithful to his own self. Watch out for a Nouveau Niveau!

Sharam Jey
What a story. Zoom into quadrant Cologne. Back in the days, Sharam Jey provided a remix milestone for Energy 52. Those times are unforgettable but for this artist, it is the present and future which count. A man who does not know of boundaries in music. King Kong to the max!

Reason
Welcome to the resident of Luxy mega club in Taiwan! The history of Mayday is global; it spans the world. One more reason to steer this master of electronic dance music to European territory and to rejoice in his skills.

Dominik Eulberg
It would be just clichés if we reduced Mr Eulberg to his passion for plants and animals. However, an ecologically sound balance to raving is certainly not the worst means to foster creativity. His strength is relaxed and experimental sounds.

Oliver Koletzki
An artist of visions, driven by an unstoppable urge to search out new sonic experiences. He probably knows all clubs of the nation. This year, he joins the World Club.

Marco Bailey
Belgium's finest. By now, he can certainly be labelled a long-standing and renowned Mayday player. His appearances at Mayday satellites were the bomb. Over the years, his style has matured and gained in diversity. Nonetheless, he still believes that the laws of style limits are to be broken.

Moguai
A DJ, a producer, and a radio guy. That's our multitasking Moguai. Never neglecting any of his many obligations, our all-rounder from the land of steel and coal has become one of the real big shots of the Techno scene of Germany. To him, World Club is a home game.

Tomcraft
Be it as producer, as DJ or label manager, whatever Mr Brueckner touches turns into gold. He has been part of Mayday for many years now. A warm welcome to Tomcraft at World Club in our jubilee year. Great stuff!

Leon Segka
From Athens to Berlin, the cities that shape the life of Leon, acting European champion. His style is anything between Technolectro and dark Electro. Relentlessly searching for the never-ending loop, all over the place. Next stop: Mayday World Club.

Kai Tracid
Meanwhile the Man of Trance & Acid has become a good friend of ours. For the humanoid dancers between Canada and Australia, his sound is the ideal energy source to float the beats. Give us some more, Mr Tracid!

Dero
Electro Latino flavour in the halls of Mayday. Dero is our Latin American envoy. A continent where emotions are still paramount, whether it be about soccer or about Techno. Dero provides the hymns to go.

Felix Kröcher
The maniac among the vinyl junkies. If need be he might even kill for the twelver-incher of his obscure desire. His love for black gold is unparalleled and thankfully, he is here to share his acoustic revelations with us.

Superpitcher
AAA quality ranking is probably the best way to describe this exceptional talent. Mr Schaufler feels at home wherever people appreciate getting down in style. Never too obvious, always a nuance away from the beaten path. A man of the future.

Zuhouse Rockers
For Todde and Lars, Dortmund is their home base and Mayday is a must, this time on stage! It's incredible how these local heroes rejoice in pumping it up. As their name suggests, House noblesse oblige.

Man At Arms
In his hands, turntables turn into weapons. Nonetheless, Man At Arms does not care for mass destruction. They prefer a massive ole school Rave. From Acid to Techno. His sets defined Techno Metal.

The Disco Boys
These boys with a mission are ever more successful. Disco and House with just one goal -- party for the masses. Grown up with the tradition of Warehouse and Garage they exactly know when to push to the climax, and how to enjoy these sweet moments of bliss.

Hardy Hard
The guy who brings Funk to the dance floor. Always to be had for some surprising break, this founding father of Berlin style makes sure keeps his secrets on the mother ship. At World Club, some of these will be lifted again and trigger ecstasy in the wide-opened eyes of ravers.

Moonbootica
Hamburg's finest. With a sure hand they pick their tunes and guarantee a night full of kicks. As experienced producers of advanced dance tracks and a DJ team in perfect harmony, Tobitob und KoweSix are just unbeatable. Get ready for hedonism in action!

Tocadisco
For Mayday, Tocadisco leaves his studio where he works on new floor fillers behind closed doors, and graces us with his presence. He stands for electrified remixes and his very own Electro style at the decks. We sure love the stuff you play!

Markus Kavka
A child of Independent with a hang for electronic dance music. He appreciates both guitars and heavy bass drums. Sounds like Mr Kavka. Proving his Bavarian nonchalance, he never misses the mood of the moment. And you bet you will see some irony in his eyes at times.


Pretty impressive list, right? Of course Beatfreax will be there to cover the whole night again. We wouldn't miss this event for anything (including the birthday of our own queen).
