Got some exciting news to share with you all before starting my weekend by partying with SebastiAn from Ed Banger Records in Vienna tonight: I’m giving away a pair of weekend passes to the Urban Art Forms Festival 2010 in Wiesen, Austria, Europe’s leading audiovisual festival. This years (questionable, I admit) headliner is David Guetta, alongside the likes of Carl Cox, Sven Väth, Boys Noize, Armand van Helden and Digitalism. The list of performing artists reads like a who’s who in electronic dance music: Adam Freeland, The Japanese Popstars, Buraka Som Sistema, Moonbootica, Parov Stelar, Infected Mushroom, Spor, Benga and many more.  To get your hands on the tickets to festival-heaven, simply email me at discodemons@gmail.com (subject line: UAF) and tell me why I should ignore 10.000 other entries and give the tickets to you instead – the winner will be contacted on May 15. Good luck!
