Once again the Ars Electronica Nightline will be showcasing contemporary electronic music by international and local performers. B.Visible, the maestro of broken beats and inventive samples accompanied by his live-band, kick off the evening. Following up is Catnapp who takes whatever she needs from all genres of electronic as well as pop and rap music. Group A will be delivering a hard break from pop-based structures, combining it all into one beautifully chaotic experience. Iglooghost invites us to live it up on the dancefloor with hyperspeed booms, fizzes, squeezes and stretches. Visionist continues on the main stage with detailed visceral soundscapes, accompanied by striking visuals by filmmaker Pedro Maia. Closing the mainstage will be Golin whose performances are full of improvisation, with a strong focus on the body and its movements. Parallel to the main stage, a program of anarchic high-energy non-conformism confronts the visitors on the Salon Stage. The show opens with the Accordion Noise Performance by Stefan Mittlböck- Jungwirth-Fohringer supported with visuals by Peter Freudling. After this, the Viennese duo Dvrst plays a show reflecting on the unity between club culture and experimental arts. The tracks of the duo Mermaid & Seafruit inhale the bass, the Hip Hop, the Hardstyle, the Noise as well as the R’n’B and theatrical spoken word passages. Closing Friday night is the famous DJ Detweiler and for everybody needing to step outside for a minute and take a break, Linz’ all-time favorite Andaka plays in the courtyard in front of the Train Hall.
