Weekly Selections: DGTL Barcelona, Berlin Atonal, Octopus
Our top event picks from around the world for the upcoming weekend.
The Amsterdam based festival DGTL will launch it’s first Barcelona edition this Friday and Saturday, showcasing 40 artists across three stages with names like Ben Klock, Dixon, Marcel Dettman, John Talabot, George Fitzgerald and Adam Beyer. Known for it’s total concept of music, art and sustainability, the theme for the inaugural year is Revolution in Barcelona which will focus on a full recycling program for plastic waste during the event.
The world class innovative experimental arts and music festival that is Berlin Atonal kicks off Wednesday next week. Taking place again at the Kraftwerk cathedral with aftershows at Tresor, OHM, and other venues around town, one can catch performances such as Ugandan Methods (Regis + Ancient Methods), Outside The Dream Syndicate (Tony Conrad with Faust), Ben Frost presents A U R O R A (with MFO), and at the aftershows at least another 50 or more mostly A/V shows.
On Saturday at Brooklyn’s Output, Danny Krivit plays an open to close afternoon set on The Roof for the last time this summer, and at night Danny Tenaglia takes over the main floor while the Panther room is hosted by Octopus label night with Sian and Layton Giordani.
