There will even be stay units from KOKOKO!, Drew McDowall, Fennesz and rave-punk duo Deli Women.
DJ units will come from Mabe Fratti, TOCCORORO, LCY and extra, whereas on the opening night time the Stockholm-based organist and composer Kali Malone will even carry out an intimate organ set on the Basilica di S. Maria dei Servi.
Acclaimed producer Marta Salogni (Björk, Depech Mode, Romy, MIA) will likely be premiering her new present with collaborator Francesco Fonassi, which blends tape loops and electronics whereas former Coil and Psychic TV member Drew McDowall will current his new album. Scandinavian experimentalists Maria W Horn and Mats Erlandsson will carry out their posthumous rating for considered one of Andy Warhol’s movies.
