Fuck Buttons, Richard Devine and Bogdan Racynski have each confirmed one night of “experimental, noise, psychedelic, breakcore”, as part of Animal Collective’s 90 minute upbeat mega show.

Animal Collective will play a 90 minute upbeat mega show in a marquee on Friday night. Three new names have been added to this night of experimental sounds.

Fuck Buttons

experimental-electro pop psychédélique noise

Fuck Buttons is an electro/noise duo from Bristol, one of the most prolific cities for music produced today. Their influences are diverse and vary from noise to pop, cacophonic to melodic. Long tracks “like the sun rising over the ocean…then going supernova”, as described by Pitchfork. An unmissable experience to keep you uplifted after the 1:30am show, just before Animal Collective…

Richard Devine

idm electro

Richard Devine is one who has often been described on the electronic scene as the American Aphex Twin. This influential producer and musician brings us heavily mastered, chaotic breaks, generally based on a mechanical, factory universe. His frenetic clicks are monumental to hard tech music, producing tracks with rich ideas and different sounds.

Bogdan Raczynski

breakcore experimental-electro

Young Polish prodigy specialising in electro music since 1995, Bogdan Raczynski was quickly spotted by Aphex Twin, which got him recording his debut albums on the Rephlex label. His music is as chaotic as his life (he grew up in Poland, the US, Japan and the UK) and he is sure to remind some of Squarepusher.

The ultra-elaborate, frenetic and epileptic beats rarely drop below 200 bpm. Infantile melodies and apocalyptic breaks also feature in his musical compositions. His talents have him singing in English, Japanese and Polish. His last album, Alright! brought him big success!

True Rock’n’Roll attitude is coming to Dour this summer: Monotonix and The Death Set brings even more madness to the programme

Monotonix

Rock Experimental-rock psychédélique

Rock’n’Roll attitude? Monotonix! 2008 saw the real birth of true madness.
Monotonix is a trio of Israelians, made up of one voice, one guitar and a drum. Their show is a mix of rock, pagan rituals, wild nudity, strange riffs and above all, decadence. Proof that rock can make people invincible! Without a doubt THE concert to kick off the Dour festival with a bang!

The Death Set

electro punk experimental-electro

From Australia to the US. The Death Set is energy, speed with a touch of craziness. You could say this combo was born to play at Dour, with a punk attitude, they produce electro, hip hip style. Britain’s NME magazine named them “the number 1 biggest hope of the future”. This will make your mouth water! Yeah, jump around!

And to put a bring a bit of sweetness to the world, we’ve invited New York’s Au Revoir Simone

Au Revoir Simone

electro pop synthpop

With a passion for keyboards, the three New Yorkers, discovered by London label Moshi Moshi, produce a refreshing, 100% synthesized, minimalist electro pop sound. It’s beautiful, melancholic, soft and it puts you on a high. It’s as light as can be… A continuous journey through their enchanting music. Let yourself enter their world in which you will be sure to enjoy your trip
