Numusic Festival 

Norway’s Numusic Festival (Sep 6-9, 2006) was born out of a desire to have an intimate non-commercial festival that would bring the most contemporary electronic artists together on a bill with musical pioneers who have influenced them. Everyone from the Afra Beatbox Orchestra to Annie to Andy Weatherall got people’s happy feet moving in the nearby venues, where having fun ruled and pretension of any sort was frowned on.
