Next week I will be attending LungA in Iceland and then the week after it’s straight to Dekmantel Festival. It’ll be my first year but I simply couldn’t miss out on the 10th anniversary and the frankly insane lineup.
To coincide with the festival, the Dekmantel label is releasing a very lavish vinyl box set. With artwork to die for by Jonathan Castro these seven slabs of 12” vinyl will no doubt be collectors items very soon. Each disc represents a stage at the festival and artists who have performed there, with individual cover art.
Among the list of contributors are legends like Jeff Mills, Marcel Dettman and Steffi, as well as newer names like Upsammy, Identified Patient, NVST and Roza Terenzi. There are also plenty of non-western producers, like the great Animistic Beliefs, who played Roskilde last year.
