Off Centre Festival.


Amsterdam is the proud owner of a new born festival, called Off Centre which will be held May 26th until 29th in the Melkweg Amsterdam. The festival is orientated on the wide variety of electronic music and other art-forms in Amsterdam. Off Centre sets innovative electronic music first and unites musicians from several genres. Several names from the line-up are: James Holden, Gui Boratto, Kode 9, Dopplereffekt, The Field, Mala, King Midas Sound and Efdemin.

It's a unique concept since it's the only festival which focusses on the cross over between beats, techno, dubstep, live electronica and art. During the festival the Melkweg will be filled with different artists daily who are working with electronic music in an innovative way.

There will be artists who focus especially on the deeper, melodic sound of techno and electronica such as Border Community front-man
James Holden, Gui Boratto and producer The Field.

Dupstep is getting more popular every day so this genre will be highlighted by artists like
Kode9, Mala and King Midas Sound, and for the electronica sound artists such as Gold Panda, Mount Kimbie and Kelpe are booked. Representing the Dutch electronic music world are Quince (special set), Delta Funktionen, Applescal and Funckarma.

Besides that the
Melkweg will accomodate for other art forms such as the exposition Anharmonium and two performances combined with modern dance, media-art and music: Còncau II from Roser López Espinosa en Isalien from Jérôme Meyer & Isabelle Chaffaud.
