Weekly Selections: Nuits Sonores, Öona Dahl in Venice, Donaufestival, George Fitzgerald & DJ Tennis at Fabric
Our top weekly event picks from around the globe.
Following on from the success of last year’s scheme, the 14th edition of the festival will hand over control of part of its programming to three artists they believe embody the spirit of Nuits Sonores. Danilo Plessow (a.k.a. Motor City Drum Ensemble) will take the reigns on the first of the NS Days, which runs on Thursday May 5, followed by Godfather of French techno Laurent Garnier the day after, and Seth Troxler on the Saturday. With the festival’s continuing focus on the Confluence area of Lyon, the events will take place in La Sucrière, an exhibition space and former factory between May 4-8. You can grab tickets by going here.
The mystical and transformative Berlin-based artist Öona Dahl is set to play a special performance on Saturday May 7 at Townhouse in Venice. Öona Dahl’s tenor and cutting aesthetic perfectly matches her musical breadth and production skill. With forthcoming releases on respect brands like All Day I Dream and the fresh Hallucienda label, it is beyond likely that Öona Dahl will make further strides in distinguishing herself this coming summer. With support from DJ-producer Michael Sandler (aka SAAND), who was named as one of Beatport’s “Breakthrough Artists of 2015” and Deep LA’s very ownMarques Wyatt, this edition of Venice Gets Deep is bound to be one that will not be soon forgotten. Buy your tickets here.
That same Saturday, George FitzGerald, DJ Tennis, Skream, wAFF and more are spread throughout the three legendary rooms in London’s infamous venue, Fabric. You can learn more by going here.
Also this week, the Austrian festival known as Donaufestival once again presents a program beyond all genre borders, between new art forms and pop culture, between underground and radical sociopolitical motives, between performance and music.
