Weekly Selections: Dekmantel, Krake Festival, Charivari Detroit
Some of our top event picks to keep you dancing for the next seven days.
Last week of July means we are up to our neck into festival season, and to prove it there’s no festival shortage anywhere in the U.S. or Europe this weekend, nor any way for me to keep this post short. Check out some of our favorite picks below.
Amsterdam’s Dekmantel Festival kicks off tonight at Muziekgebouw aan ‘t IJ with Autechre (live) and Manuel Gottsching performing a live version of ‘E2-E4’, followed by expanded day and night performances throughout the weekend with two new venues added from last year.

US grime label Slit Jockey Records is celebrating their 10th anniversary this year with a ’10 Years Of Grime’ mini tour with stops in Brooklyn, Providence and Philadelphia and acts Spooky, Starky, Dev 79, and El Carnicero.
