Halloween may be over, but Brooklyn Electronic Music Festival is just around the corner. Now in its seventh year, BEMF remains one of the most brilliant festivals out there, taking over Williamsburg this Thursday through Saturday (November 6 - 8). I had the pleasure of chatting with co-founders Jen Lyon and Katie Longmyer, who told me to expect an expanded set of venues, updated partnerships and, of course, the freshest electronic music around.
So, who's playing? Aeroplane, DJ Shadow, Huxley, Todd Edwards, Machinedrum and Fur Coat to name a few. From trap to deep house to nu disco, at BEMF, there's really something for everyone. Longmyer and Lyon emphasize the diversity of sounds concertgoers will encounter as well as the incredible energy that comes from having a dozen unique venues participating this year.
I could not be more excited. So, in anticipation, listen to some of my favorites from this year's lineup below... and better yet, check them out live this weekend!
