You’d higher consider there’s a fantastic idea behind this Austrian gathering.
Austria, prepare for fascinating new proposals within the Dance music floor. Sound | Escape, a free competition, is about to happen in Kitzbühel from March 28 by 30, providing a singular mix of underground music and alpine surroundings. The occasion, which is able to happen within the city’s historic centre and surrounding mountains, goals to supply an inclusive expertise with out entrance charges or VIP areas. This yr’s headliner, by the best way? The legend himself, Sven Väth.
Väth, a residing legend of Techno, is answerable for headlining duties this time, and joined by artists equivalent to Matthias Tanzmann, Tom Novy, and Tube & Berger. The lineup will function a spread of digital genres, together with Home, Techno, and Drum and Bass, the latter being a much less frequent sight in Austria in the mean time.
The competition’s creator, Marvin Aloys, states that “Austria’s acquired this deep musical historical past, however Digital music has its personal roots, its personal tradition, and it belongs right here simply as a lot”. His thought with the competition is to interrupt away from the same old “Large-ticket, VIP-heavy competition scene, and giving one thing again to the folks. A free competition, in a setting that’s actually unreal – mountains, historic streets, contemporary air – it’s the sort of backdrop that makes it further particular”. And I’d agree.
Aloys says having Sven Väth headline is critical, noting that Väth’s assist demonstrates the competition’s objectives. He says they need to return to the uncooked, inclusive power of early Digital music, eradicating limitations and exclusivity.
