Rave extravagance based on an collision of club esthetics and the culture of waste. The essence of the information noise, smell of hot tarmac and a brutal charm of a late, weekend evening.

Japanese veterans and masters of de(con)struction/ guitar collisions of extreme forms and bubblegum pop: drum blasts, sweet, exaggerated vocalizations, harsh and cut melodies’ half life.

Artist who expresses herself through sounds and images, transposes BDSM onto the music stage. Her work connects industrial rhythm, screams, synthesizer’s sounds and combines them with the sound of a whip striking human skin, metal and various objects.

After dub-hop explorations of Syny - reduction to a minimum based on minor post hip-hop; emotionally penetrating areas of urban neuroses and deviations, journeys into agglomerative melancholies, discreet searches for the future.

Porter Ricks is the legendary techno project of Thomas Köner and Andy Mellwig. Their seminal releases on Chain Reaction (1996) and Mille Plateaux (1997) will soon be complemented by a new LP to be released on Tresor Records in 2017.

Known through his work with Fennesz, Sunn O))), Otomo Yoshihide (AAF 2010) and Keiji Haino (AAF 2014, 2016), an accomplished experimentator who moves and transforms himself between the paths trodden by minimalism, improvisation, contemporary electronics and the physicality of rock music.

Evolution of the early techno-dub inclinations into deep drone and the almost dark ambient direction; heavy, organic/synthetic psychoactive mash in various hues of emptiness and coldness.

Since 2004, Laurent Gérard also known as Èlg, has drawn concentric sound spirals made of musical pipes and entrails. He uses an arsenal of instruments and methods, constantly renewed and builds improbable bridges between concrete music and french song debris, between cryptic electronic tribal incantations and russian doll dancing in Plutonia.

Return of a yass legend: the destruction of the jazz formula with intense interventions of psychedelic rock, occasional interjections of musique concrète, and a fertile collision of professionalism and enthusiasm.

The classic Austrian trio will perform at AAF for the second time: precise, half-synthetic repetitions on the verge of post-rock and a distinctive art rock reduction: complicated machinery’s tender heart with a steady beat.
