The buzz around the Clapham Common festival is becoming monumental. With quality lineup announcement after quality lineup announcement, South West Four is without a doubt going to be one of dance music's most treasured festivals this summer.

The last round of announcements added the likes of trance godfathers Paul Van Dyk and Paul Oakenfold to the stunning bill which already consisted of Armin Van Buuren, Carl Cox, and Example to name just a few.

With the world’s finest in trance and house already lined up, as well as some of the most popular crossover artists in place, South West Four have turned their attention to the main man of techno - Sven Vath.

The German legend needs no introduction. Sufficed to say running one of the most successful and iconic club brands in the world has made this guy one of the leading figures of the techno scene, and he shows no signs of losing that status.

He will be joined by progressive house pioneer Steve Lawler. Since the turn of the century the Birmingham born DJ and producer has been one of the most in demand figures in his scene, with his unique dark and twisted style working wonders with the clubbing world. His sets remain an intoxicating journey between the genres, which nobody accomplishes as well as Steve Lawler.

James Zabiela will also be putting in an appearance. In his 14 years in the business, the trailblazing DJ has become world famous for his unique turntable skills and use of all manner of loop pedals and effect to create sets that are unlike anything anybody else is doing. His experimentalism is always balanced with a fiercely dancefloor aesthetic. His set at SW4 will be a rip roaring journey through the genres, bringing a real party feel to proceedings.

Last up for the new announcements is Hotflush main man Scuba. With a slew of releases under his belt and a label that sits on the cutting edge of house, dub, breaks, and techno, Scuba is a man that has been one of the most original innovators to have come from the dubstep mold, and has honed his craft into the genre spanning success that it is now. His sets are always full of energy, moments of beauty, and of course a hefty dose of bass.

Surely SW4 can’t get any more appetizing than this!
