Seattle’s Decibel Festival will return for its fifth year this fall, and while the four-day music, art, and media event has always boasted a worthwhile lineup, it seems the organizers have gone all out for 2008.

Detroit techno legend Car Craig will take some time away from his busy schedule to headline the show, and joining him will be artists from all corners of dance music, including Lusine, The Bug, Jeff Samuel, Jahcoozi, Audion, Tujiko Noriko, and a bunch of others listed below.

In addition to the music, the festival will host visual art performances, multimedia installations, panel discussions, and workshops. And this being Seattle, one of America’s greenest cities (literally and in the environmental awareness sense), Decibel has announced its commitment to create a zero carbon footprint during the event.

Decibel 2008 takes place September 25 – 28 in various locations around Seattle.
