Pray Silence Festival + Late 2010

I am immensely excited to announce that, thanks to the kind folks at Pray Silence Productions, I have just confirmed my first gig for 2011: the 3 day long Pray Silence Festival, which will take place in Lisbon, Portugal, from August 26-28, 2011. For years, I've wanted to break into the European festivals, and after years of working as hard as I can, it means so much to me to see this dream finally be realized. When I first started DJing, I sure as hell didn't think that would ever happen and the fact that it did is rather... surreal. But in the best way possible :) I'm thrilled that my first festival involves sharing a bill with not only some great friends, but a number of artists I enjoy and admire. This will also be my very first visit to Portugal, so even with over a year to go, I can't wait!

In the meantime, the second half of 2010 certainly has a lot to be excited about. Folks in and around Austria will be seeing a lot of me and not only in Vienna! This fall, I'm booked both in Salzburg and Klagenfurt for the first time and looking forward to having a chance to play in other parts of Austria. The Austrian scene as a whole, Vienna in particular, has truly come to feel like home over the past year and a half and it's always an honor for me to be able to work at such high quality events and with truly talented DJs and bands. Hopefully there will also be exiting happenings to announce within Philadelphia and the Northeast as the year gradually draws to a close. Whatever happens, you can be sure to find info here.

Many more opportunities that I hope to share with you all are on the horizon. In the meantime, make sure to investigate my mixes page and I hope to see you at the gigs! - Ilyssa (DJ Totentanz)

DJs Totentanz and Thomas Rainer will be on hand to provide the soundtrack to the one summertime party you can enjoy without having to brave the sweltering July sun. Expect nothing less than top quality industrial dance music as well as favorites new and old from a variety of dark styles (and perhaps some surprises to go along with the theme of the evening).

Since 2007, Electronic Fallout has been working to bring top-quality live acts and DJs from within Austria and abroad to Klagenfurt.

The November edition sees the return of Industrial-Metal favorites Hanzel Und Gretyl and the first-ever Klagenfurt appearance of DJ Totentanz, who will be joining resident DJ Tumor behind the decks for the evening. Will Klagenfurt even be standing after a blitz this big? Come party with us and see what happens...
