Biolive Timegate
30.12.2013 – 01.01.2014 – Porrentruy, Switzerland
10th edition of Europe’s supreme NYE event
Take the light and laser
setup of a big festival plus
a decent sound system. Fill
them into an indoor venue.
Add a generous pinch of
the most exquisite DJs and
live acts around, spice it
up with some technicolour
surprises and let it brew
for 3 days and 2 nights.
Voilá – there you have
your Timegate!
It’s a big year for the Biolive
crew: Their monumental NYE
rave Timegate is held for the
10th time. A cause for celebration
– but also a challenge.
Why? Because the Swiss
event gained a reputation that
is very similar to that of an
international open air festival,
a reputation that demands an
extremely high level of quality
to be maintained. So what’s
the plan for the upcoming anniversary
edition? “We will take
our idea of an indoor festival
another leap forward”, one of
the promoters says with a sly
smile. “3 floors, 3 atmospheres,
1 massive celebration. Again
we have a 360° sound and
light concept, yet completely
different than last year. As always
the midnight countdown
on NYE will be a highlight,
with synchronized lasers, music
and some nice psychedelic
gimmicks.” Held in a huge
indoor tennis court, Timegate
offers enough space to have an
ongoing adventure for several
days. Plus a multitude of good
music: “We have a mix of big
names who will deliver the
goods, and some very talented,
exciting locals who will rock
just as much. Some names are
Allaby, Day.Din, Hyperfequencies,
NOK, Paul Taylor, Sensifeel,
Sonic Species, Nukleall,
Lyctum, Brainiac, Electrypnose,
Braindriver, Telephatic Vision,
Mapusa Mapusa, DJoanna,
Armonix… Not to forget about
L-Acoustics, our beloved sound
systems. They present the music
of each artist just perfect!”
The compilation Timegate Vol.
4 is also part of the 10th anniversary.
Capturing the musical
quality and variety of the event
itself, this CD is a precious
collector’s item.
So if you fancy a massive
blast for NYE but don’t have
any plans yet – Porrentruy,
Switzerland, is the place to be.
Also before and after the party
it’s a great destination for a
winter trip to the Alps. Just
keep in mind: As the tickets are
limited and Timegate is gaining
ever more popularity taking
advantage of the pre-sale is
highly recommended.

Es ist ein großes Jahr für die
Biolive Crew, denn ihre Timegate
Sylvesterparty feiert 10-jähriges
Jubiläum. Und das bedeutet
ein großes Jahresende für alle
Feierwütigen. Schließlich ist das
mehrtägige Event im Schweizer
Porrentruy auch außerhalb des
Alpenstaats bekannt für seine
extrem hochkarätige Aufmachung.
Als Höhepunkt gilt der Countdown
zur Jahreswende, für den das opulente
Licht- und Lasersystem perfekt
mit dem Sound synchronisiert
ist. Zudem wurde ein komplett
neues 360° Konzept angekündigt.
Timegate Vol. 4, die Jubiläumsauflage
der hauseigenen Compilation,
gibt einen Vorgeschmack auf das
exzellente Musikprogramm. Da die
Tickets limitiert sind empfiehlt sich
der Vorverkauf!
