It’s no secret that, over the last decade, nightlife in NYC has migrated east. By the late ‘90s, Brooklyn had become a new epicenter of the city’s electronic music culture, where some still argue it started over three decades back. The Brooklyn Electronic Music Festival (BEMF, scheduled for November 6th and 7th) gave definite voice to this shift when it debuted eight years ago. This year the fest’s organizers once again curate a series of shows across multiple venues in Williamsburg, involving the cutting-edge of emerging live and DJ talent. Bookings include MK, Laidback Luke, Floating Points, Eats Everything, Snakehips, Daniel Avery, Django Django, George Fitzgerald, Matrixx Mann, Luke Hess, and Soul Clap among others.
Newark’s own Nadus, a rather hard to classify electronic artist whose 2014 record, "Broke City," was recently re-released, will be one of the local artists performing at this year’s BEMF, together with – among others – Julia Govor and Gina Turner, who were featured in our latest print issue. Check out Nadus’ electro ode to his home town, streaming below, and – if that’s your cup of tea – don’t miss his show at BEMF on Friday November 6th.
