Featuring International Headliners Sabo, Halo, Julius the Mad Thinker, & Fei-Fei

Fall into the sound Thurs. Sept. 15 – Sat. Sept. 24

RALEIGH, N.C. (September 2, 2011)-- For the third year in a row, Raleigh's Mosaic Wine et Lounge will present its ever growing seasonal dance music festival -- staying true to form and raising the ambitious bar of innovative, live entertainment in the Triangle.

Over the course of 10 straight nights, this veteran club recognized for its dedication to bringing world-wide flavors of sensational sound to the Triangle dance music and entertainment scene promises a detailed pairing of internationally renowned DJs and producers intermixed with Triangle and North Carolina-based talent.

Keith Ward, resident Mosaic DJ and MFMF Program Director has crafted an experience that he intends to be as intoxicating for the visiting DJs as it will be for the reveling dancers in attendance.

"Since the inception of this festival in 2009, the goal has been to create an environment that not only allows the audience to interact with world-class DJs in an up close and personal way, but to also bring to the Triangle the same energy and cultural movements of sound that are happening all over the globe in major markets. To have a dance experience in such an intimate space like Mosaic with these creative talents just doesn't happen everyday," notes Ward. "For local and surrounding area audiences that can't travel to London's Fabric or New York's Cielo or Miami's Mansion to get into the sound of this caliber, this is for you."

With up to 75 artists currently programmed, the vibe will range from Deep House to Techno to Down Tempo to various forms of EDM with each thematic evening offering a variation of outdoor patio and indoor house sets grooving simultaneously.

Fresh off tours of duty in L.A., N.Y., D.C., Oslo, Berlin, and Buenos Aires the not-to- be-missed headliners leading this semi-annual festival of infectious grooves include the following:
