Burn Selector Festival
1-2 June 2012
Even before it was organised for the first time, it was already a top tip of the British New Musical Express magazine (better known as NME).
The two-day long event that débuted in June 2009 made its way into the twelve most recommended musical events in Europe. Justification? Quite simple: a pleasant city, not too expensive tickets, and good music. Very much in line with the goal, which was to establish a large, modern festival of electronic and dance music that in a few years would become an important point on the agenda of European events.
Organisers from the established Alter Art Agency invited the absolute crème de la crème of contemporary electronic and dance music. Quite a bold step on their behalf was to invite the Franz Ferdinand guitar band to an electro-dance event. Their decision proved later to be a good one: the Scottish group left the great numbers of international listeners awe-struck. Similarly, the performances by Orbital, Röyksopp, and Fischerspooner were fantastically received. This rich line-up was supported by CSS, Dizzee Rascal, Young Pony Club, Digitalism, Deadmau5, Erol Alkan, and Busy P.
This festival has also become a place for presentation of actions at the interconnection of music and multimedia arts. Sound has been connected here with intriguing visual settings and avant-garde spatial installations.
