A festival that combines electronic music and innovation.
From their site:
We know that the genre of “electronic music” covers many other facets that you won’t find on minitek’s lineup, like progressive or drum’n’bass for instance. We chose the term because most artists can’t possibly be reduced to one single genre, and it leaves room for interpretation and development.
As for the innovation aspect of minitek, we wanted to bring some of the most ingenious projects and inventions from all around the world off the internet and right to your doorstep. We selected a range of experimental art and technology installations that you can discover and try out in the innovation pavillion during the day. and during the night, visual artists will fill the walls with their most unconventional projections.
Also, we will introduce new consumer technologies that have never been applied in a festival context - such as RFID wristbands, which will make your festival experience so much more convenient, with a smidgen of surprise around each corner.
An integral part of minitek is the village, which will serve as an exhibition area for a range of creative industry players. we invited music technology companies to demonstrate their novelty products and softwares that will change the way music is created, and local as well as international record labels will let you come across their newest releases and freshly signed artists.
All in all, we wanted minitek to be an experience; present sounds you haven’t heard and ideas you didn’t even know existed. a playground of sorts, in a city we love.
