First up are the irrepressible Norwegian party band, Datarock, who return to the UK with their brand new live show and sizzling sounds from their enormous second album Red set for release this summer on Nettwerk Productions.
Loop Festival
With Fela Kuti, Afrika Bambaataa and Kraftwerk sited as Datarock’s new trinity of inspiration, peppered with a splat of West End, a hint of the Caribbean, a dash of West Africa - and whole lot of pulsating post modernity, Datarock are gonna party like it’s 2009…
Godfather of French electro and remixer extraordinaire, Joakim and the Disco join the proceedings whilst Fujiya & Miyagi are set to play a master class in Krautrock–inspired techno grooves.
Showcasing the best in new and emerging talent, Loop are pleased to welcome the infectious and beautifully orchestrated indie pop of Fanfarlo and London’s Hatcham Social.
Loop Festival has announced pioneering producer, musician and contemporary composer, Squarepusher to join Matthew Herbert Big Band amongst its headline acts across the three day festival at Victoria Gardens, Brighton.
After a decade absent from the touring circuit, Squarepusher returns with an exhilarating new live show, comprising a virtuoso bass electronics and live drums performance, accompanied by the insane trade mark Squarepusher light show. In no uncertain terms, this is a live performance not to be missed.
Loop Festival expands its commitment to digital art and culture in 2009 with the unveiling of Loop films, installations and an audiovisual programme developed in conjunction with OneDotZero, the critically acclaimed contemporary digital arts organization responsible for producing the world’s most innovative audio-visual festival OneDotZero Adventures in Motion Festival.
