"London's trendiest electronic musos will head down to Peckham Rye Park between Friday (May 22) and Sunday (May 24). This year's lineup is, as always, a who's who of the biggest names in dance music right now - but there's more than just electronic stuff on the bill.

"As any regular GALA-goer no doubt already knows, the festival is as much about the curators as the performers themselves.
