Simon Raine, MD of Gatecrasher commented;

“ There has always been a unique crossover between the world’s of dance and indie
music and we want to celebrate this at Summer Sound System in a way that is unique and
fits with the whole dance festival culture. There is some quite anarchic about members of
coolest UK bands becoming DJs, you never know what musical style or sound may come up
with!”
