We are proud to present this year’s Lapsus Festival, held at the Center of Contemporary Culture of Barcelona (CCCB).  Hosted by Lapsus, a multidisciplinary artistic platform established in 2004 that has a radio station (Lapsus Radio) and a record label (Lapsus Records), the one-day festival is sure to be one that is of the highest quality.

Known for hosting artists of avant-garde electronic music, the Lapsus Festival is very unique in its choice of musicians.  For the most part, these acts create never-before-heard sounds and beats, opening a whole new world of musical possibilities to the listeners.  This year’s lineup includes:

• David Cordero, who’s instrumental passages resemble the sea in his new solo project “El Rumor Del Oleaje” (the sound of the waves).
• Irish producer Donnacha Costello, who recorded his new music with only a synthesizer and few effect pedals, and will provide a small workshop at the festival.
• HKE (formerly known as Hong Kong Express), the man responsible for cult label “Dream Catalogue”.
• JLIN and her first LP “Dark Energy”, praised by publications such as The Wire and The Quietus as “Record of the Year”.
• E.S.H., the man behind the Berlin collective with a live show of risky electronic music and his CDJ.
• Soul Jazz Sound System, the group responsible for record shop Sounds of the Universe and the label Soul Jazz Records.

Although it may be smaller than some of the other music festivals in Barcelona, Lapsus is still popular amongst music lovers.  Last year, the show sold out within minutes of opening, so make sure to buy your festival ticket online for €25 beforehand.  Also, be prepared to spend all day there listening to music, as the festival goes on from noon until 1:30 the next day!
