If you're in the Seattle area over the weekend and you're even slightly a fan of electronic music, you might just want to block out some time for the 4th annual Decibal Festival:
The 4th Annual Decibel International Festival of Electronic Music Performance, Visual Art and New Media is happening September 20th through the 23rd in Seattle. This year's program features over 80 artists presented in 14 showcases, representing 9 countries across 9 venues, each being outfitted with custom sound and video. In keeping with festival tradition, expect to experience a broad range of cutting-edge electronic music based performances from international talent of the highest caliber.
The line-up, as usual, is stupidly impressive, including notables such as Diplo, Simian Mobile Disco, Lusine, Caro, Harold Budd & Robin Guthrie, Biosphere, and - holy moly! - Speedy J, as well as a huge number of artists I'm not clever enough to have heard of. All reports from previous Decibal Festivals is that the shows are typically quite tasty, so don't delay in getting your tickets lined up.
