ON SUNDAY MAY 22ND, 2005
CROWN PRODUCTIONS, TRILLIUM PRODUCTIONS, GB PRODUCTIONS, & SOUNDWAVE ENTERTAINMENT PRESENT:
FANTASIA 2005
FEATURING:
BK
London, UK
Nukleuz, Tidy Trax, Positiva
HARD HOUSE/HARD TRANCE/TECHNO
Ben Keen, aka BK, is recognized the world over as the most successful and prolific hard dance producer of all time. With worldwide dance chart hits like ‘Music Is Moving’, ‘Hoovers n Horns’, and ‘Revolution’, BK has reinvented the genre of hard house and breathed new life into the style. And in addition to having conquered the world of hard house with his production skills, BK is positioned to take over the global DJ scene, ranking since 2001 as one of DJmag’s top 50 international DJs. He calls his sound “ever-changing and full of energy,” with innovative infusions of trance and techno that redefine the hard house style. He believes that “the sound of hard house has definitely changed-it’s got to,” and whether producing or playing, the sounds that BK creates represent the future of the genre.
In 1999, BK enlarged his creative scope to include the DJ circuit, proving that his talents are not restricted to the studio alone. By 2000, BK was already playing clubs around the world, headlining and appearing at all of the biggest dance events, including Dance Valley (100,000 people), Global Gathering UK, Gatecrasher Summer Sound System UK, Impulse NL, Frantic HardHouse Academy UK, Creamfields UK, Godskitchen NEC UK, Judgement Sunday Ibiza, Lashed in Ibiza, Gallery UK, Slinky UK, and Code Japan. He currently calls three of the most forward-thinking UK hard dance events home, holding residencies at Frantic’s Convergence, Nukleuz’s Riot!, and Kinky’s Trade. Much of his success is due to the same experimental approach that he utilizes in the studio. “As a DJ, I’ve been looking at other genres, and I’ve found that kind of music is something I like and that I like to play, and no one’s complained!”
In an extremely short period of time, BK has become recognized as not only a genre-defining producer, but also an influential DJ in the hard dance scene. His prodigious talents have created a new direction for the future of hard house, but BK is not ready to stop yet. “I’ve made every sort of music in the past, even stuff for television commercials. I’ve mic’d up a 60-piece orchestra at Abbey Road… And now I want to start bringing that into the kind of tracks I do now. Do that, but make it danceable and club-friendly-find a new sound for myself.”

HARD TRANCE
Comming out of Edmonton, with releases in europe, tracks charting in the top 10 of MixMag, Kris Wilkinson (aka Kristoff) has founded a reputation as one of Canada's leading trance / hard trance artists. A regular guest amonst the likes of Armin Van Buuren, John '00 Flemming, Christopher Lawrence, Jon O'Bir, Blank & Jones, Matt Darey, Adam Freeland, Marcos, JK Walker and Astral Projection, Kristoff is set to make his very first apperance in Winnipeg and we can say that he is sure to not dissapoint. This could very well be the best Canadian Trance act to take the main stage at a Winnipeg event.
ISIS G
CALGARY, CANADA
THE GRUVE
HOUSE
One of Calgary's best kept secrets, Isis Graham is a House DJ with a mission. Ever since her first gig back in early 2000 at the then popular after-hours club Soul Tattoo, she hasn't strayed from her goal. Since then, she has played numerous club nights and parties all over the city and across Canada showcasing what House music is all about. Known for her wealth of quality House music and her ability to evoke an array of emotion within her sets, Isis has become one of Calagary's most in-demand DJ's.
From Deep House to Tribal House, this is one DJ that has her record bag packed to rock our city from the drop of the first record she drops.
