springfestival
springfestival is one of Europe’s leading metropolitan festivals and is arguably set in one of the continent’s most stunning cities.
The cosmopolitan and historic Graz is a melting pot of architectural wonders and urban chic, and again is set to host a brilliant array of live acts and DJs, the first wave of which have just been announced.
Fully exploring the richness of electronica is what springfestival is all about, and 2011’s initial offering will further build on this template. Live acts include USA party pioneers the Jungle Brothers who bring their fusion of hip-hop, house and rap to springfestival, along with Canada’s electronic wizards Caribou, the riotous DJ Mehdi and Riton combining for Carte Blanche, and East London’s Crystal Fighters – a wild synchrony of ghetto house, punk and Latin electro.
The UK’s DJ Yoda will wow with his fusion of music and images whilst Berlin-based Egotronic offer their electro-punk sounds to Graz, alongside inspired Parisian trio DOP and minimal king Isolee. Belgian soloist beat-beater Aeroplane makes his debut, along with the widely revered and legendary Kompakt Records boss Michael Mayer. Made to Play’s head honcho Jesse Rose, electro scene-stealer Riva Starr, Ed Banger’s DJ Feadz and DJ Koze all star too, forming the part of the first wave of announcements.
