December is near, and what does this mean in Singapore besides that there will be a Santa Claus in every shopping mall on Orchard Road? That's right, it time for ZoukOut! For all electronic music lovers, clubbers, ravers, grinders and straight up party-animals, ZoukOut is truly the most highly anticipated party of the year in Singapore.

With world class international DJs and artists rocking palm tree lined Siloso Beach on Sentosa island virtually from sunset to sunrise, how could you go wrong? Last year's ZoukOut attracted more than 25,000 people (half of which were wearing bikinis) from across Asia and around the globe. There is no doubt that this years festival could be even bigger and better.

ZoukOut has announced a handful of artists confirmed to rock this years party. Headlining this years festival is Armin Van Buuren, named the No. 1 DJ in the world twice by DJ Magazine. Other artists include Simon Dunmore from Defected Records, The Martinez Brothers who are residents at Pacha (NYC & Ibiza), Cielo (NYC) and Social Club (Paris), owner of the Mi-nus label Richie Hawtin, three-time World DMC Championship Winner DJ Craze, the music label owner of Turbo Records, acclaimed remixer, producer and singer - Tiga, as well as live acts such as Miss Kittin & The Hacker.

ZoukOut 2009 is on Saturday December 12th on Siloso Beach, Sentosa so mark your calendars now and stay tuned to MetroWize and the official ZoukOut website for the latest developments and lineup announcements.
