The pandemic has brought about a kind of body awareness undergirded by extreme anxiety. To the perennially anxious—such as myself—every sniffle, cough, headache, belch, weird poop, or bead of sweat could be a sign their time has come. While this type of self-surveillance is needed (to an extent), it’s important to remind yourself of other things your body can do: sway, bob, shuffle, one-two-step, swivel, roll, act as a vessel for joy.
This weekend, you’ll have a chance to do so at Kremfest, Kremwerk’s fourth annual celebration of some the best electronic music and talent the scene has to offer. For four jam-packed nights, Seattle’s premiere club has stacked lineup after lineup with incredible DJs that will facilitate music and body euphoria. Shake off your 9 to 5 at House Party’s night, featuring NSO, Arel, and Euse on Friday. If anything, I suggest ending your weekend with Sunday night’s Bloom, a techno-infused showcase in Timbre Room, headed by resident DJ Gag Reflex and featuring Reverend Dollars and Bored Lord. Dancefloor bliss is just around the corner—make it yours!
Kremfest runs from Thursday, September 14 thru Sunday, September 19. Both 4-day passes and day passes are available to purchase here. Masks and proof of vaccination are required for entry.
