Decibel Festival this morning announced 57 more acts to its lineup, bringing the total so far to 110, from 17 different nations. Now in its 11th year, the world-class electronic-music/digital-arts event takes place at various Seattle venues Sept. 24-28.
Fans of heady, unconventional techno should be happy about Fluxion, Marcel Dettmann, Recondite, and John Roberts, and future-bass heads should rejoice over Scuba and Salva. Other artists I'm excited about include Oneohtrix Point Never, Max Cooper, Murcof, Tokimonsta, Martyn, Black Asteroid, and probably some folks I don't even know yet. There is much research to be done, as always with Decibel bills. The people you don't recognize now often end up being highlights later. You can explore the individual artists further here.
Check out the second wave of acts below, and peep some details about the rest of the Decibel program below that.
