‘Cream Kiev’ electronic music festival will take place at the International Exhibition Center Dec. 6. The Kyiv festival is the child of the worldwide renowned British music brand Cream, which organizes “Cream” and “Creamfields” festivals and music shows all over the world. Festival “Cream Kiev” gathers only top-rate representatives of electronic music on one stage such as Marco V, Duderstadt, M.i.k.e, Simon Patterson, b2b, Sean Tyas, John “00” Fleming. Headliners are famous electronic trio Above & Beyond – DJs Jono Grant, Tony McGuiness and Paavo Siljamaki. Above & Beyond is quickly becoming one of the strongest moving forces behind electronic music. Indeed, the September 2003 issue of Mixmag singles out Above & Beyond as one of the most prominent trance acts in the world today. Making music collectively and individually under various nicknames such as Oceanlab, Tranquility Base, Nitromethane, POS, Aalto, Dirt Devils and Free State, the boys have also remixed tracks like Madonna "What It Feels Like For A Girl" and Armin van Buuren "Sound Of Goodbye," as well as artists such as Delerium, Three Drives and Japanese superstar, Ayumi Hamasaki. Organizers of the festival have prepared several comfortable zones for guests: main-zone, fan-zone, VIP-zone, deluxe and chill-out zone, spacious parking-lot, cafes and snack bars, festival souvenirs and much more.
