Festival Focus

Where The Wild Things

Much like its namesake children’s book, this festival invites you to let your inner wild thing out to play – in its luxurious bungalow accommodations (hot tub, anyone?), on its gloriously green grounds, in its self-described ‘swim paradise’ (featuring a 154-metre water slide!), and most of all, on its dancefloors.

7-9 March – Center Parcs De Eemhof, Zeewolde

Trentemøller
This versatile Danish producer/DJ has plenty of tricks up his sleeve. With a live band of lovely assistants in tow, he may just make your dancefloor inhibitions magically disappear.  

Moderat
In this Berlin supergroup, Apparat’s soulful techno and Modeselektor’s eclectic experimentalism form a dancefloor alliance whose orders you’ll be happy to obey all night.  

Jon Hopkins
This UK producer’s breakthrough 2013 album, Immunity, offered a rare glimpse into his world – one replete with organic sounds and his most danceable take on techno yet.

Savages
With their Straightforward but intensely delivered post-punk, this London all-female four-piece seems possessed by the ghosts of the Pop Group, Joy Division and the Slits.

of Montreal
On their latest album, this beloved Athens indie-pop band scaled back the weirdo funk of their last few releases and made a welcome return to their ’60s-loving lo-fi beginnings.

Crystal Antlers
Label switched and line-up streamlined, this Long Beach band’s hard-hitting and cathartic organ-driven psych punk continues to both thrill and elude easy classification.

Other highlights include:
Thomas Azier and Young Fathers.
