Returning for its third edition in Hong Kong, ALTN8 Festival presents a fabulous array of electronic musicians from across the globe
With a great number of Hong Kong concerts and festivals awaiting us, including Clockenflap and Shi Fu Miz Festival, 2018 is definitely ending on a high note. One that is also not to be missed is Hong Kong’s enigmatic electronic dance music get-together ALTN8 Festival. Returning to PMQ, Central on 24 November with an eclectic offering of emerging electronic music and art, we tell you why we’re excited about its line-up and who to look out for!
What’s ALTN8 Festival?
As one of Asia’s most exciting electronic dance music festivals, ALTN8 Festival is most known for its innovative state-of-the-art technology. Having debuted Asia’s first 360 degree sound stage last year at Wonderfruit in Thailand, the team is now building a new sound experience with d&b Soundscape Live to present a truly immersive experience for participants at the third ALTN8 Festival. Other than musical performances, there will also be demonstrations set up on site a day before the festival, such as specialist breathing classes, immersive audio demos and conservation screenings.
Who to see at ALTN8 Festival
Dedicated to bringing outstanding music and visual design to its audience, ALTN8 Festival features a wide range of electronic musicians and DJs from the underground to the foreground. One of the highlights for this year’s line-up is definitely London-based producer Rival Consoles (real name Ryan Lee West) from Erased Tapes label. Crafted with beautiful downbeat electronic sounds, his latest album Persona is an emotional and expressive one for all.
Other highlights include Montreal-based producer Jacques Greene, British producer Leon Vynehall and two of the biggest names in the German electronic music scene – Roman Flügel and Extrawelt. With this carefully-curated line-up, you’re guaranteed contemplative and lively DJ performances like no other at ALTN8 Festival. See you at PMQ on 24 November!
