Sat Sep 7 Turbo Drive
Danger
Turbo Drive: Danger! Synthwave! Danger says: "As a child, I grew up sitting in front of a computer by myself. That is where I learnt about music; playing video games and watching endless reruns of cartoons and American TV shows. Television gave me shelter when I was alone, nursed me with Hollywood's mythologies. It guided me through nameless countries; with it I brought down colossuses and climbed mountains. I preached its beliefs.

Sat Sep 7 MC Frontalot
MC Frontalot! Hiphop! MC Frontalot spent the last twenty years getting over being bad at kickball and being called a "nerd" by rapping into a computer and to his Star Wars acton figures. Thus began the sory of the genre that he has become the godfather of. He has taken his art form to another level. Nerdcore has metastasized into an internet phenomenon and underground touring powerhouse, with dozens of well established live acts and more than a hundred home-studio rhymers self-identifying within the subgenre.
