Electronic Beats Festival Cologne 2014 - Goldfrapp, Milky Chance, Jon Hopkins, Mac DeMarco, Vimes, Cologne Sessions E-Werk, 23.05.'14

Headlining EB Festival Cologne at E-Werk on May 23rd are Goldfrapp, the game changing electronic duo whose various permutations have seen them go from trashy-glamorous electroclash envoys, weirdo disco doyens and eldritch folk outliers in their fifteen year lifespan. Joining them is folk-pop project Milky Chance—the duo of vocalist and musician Clemens Rehbein and DJ Philipp Dausch. You probably recall the 2013 chart-topping hit "Stolen Dance", or perhaps the 2013 debut album it preceded, Sadnecessary. Their quirky blend of electronic and reggae influences garnered them a sold-out tour in their native Germany and a larger European tour launching this year, of which our Cologne event will be the highlight. Jon Hopkins has worked with names ranging from Brian Eno and Coldplay to Four Tet and David Lynch. He's even chilled with our very own Slices team, which you can watch below. His recent album Immunity was nominated for the Mercury Prize, and one listen reveals why; with its haunting moments of beauty and emotional ambiance, it perfectly captures the resonance of a really good night out. Coming all the way from Canada, Mac DeMarco's particular blend of glammy, woozy jams have been described as "slacker rock" and "jizz jazz", and should go down quite well for fans of the inimitable Ariel Pink and other outsider weirdos. And opening the night is local electro-pop duo Vimes. Support is offered by the Cologne Sessions DJ Team, Hugo Hoppmann and Mitch.
