Weekly Selections: Bacchanale Festival, Symbiosis, Club IHC, and Decibel Festival
Our top picks of upcoming events from around the globe.
The inaugural edition of Canada’s Bacchanale Festival began on September 6 with Lil Louis and September 16 with Pearson Sound, while its main events take place this weekend at Montreal’s Old Port featuring live sets by Octave One, Phuture and Vril, and dj sets by Omar S, Answer Code Request, and others.
Symbiosis Gathering celebrates its 10-year reunion today until Sunday at the Northern California Woodward Reservoir in Oakdale with over a hundred musical acts such as Nicolas Jaar, CocoRosie, and Four Tet, as well as workshops, an alchemy village, and live art component.
This Friday in XLR8R hq Los Angeles, the IHeartComix crew hosts S-Type‘s first LA show along with Brooklyn-based dance music producer Obey City (both on the Lucky Me label), with additional acts including Heathered Pearls and Neo Fresco.
Taking a sneak peak, Seattle’s Decibel Festival kicks off next Wednesday with five days of musical performances including the experimental concert series Optical, boat parties and hosted showcases including the dB After-hours II: XLR8R event with Marcel Dettman, Function and Vril, and workshops and discussion panels as part of the dB Conference.
