After the Austrian influx of the Repellent Festival, the Vienna-via-New York fever continues with this six-day fest with a strong focus on the country's vibrant electronic music scene. The talent-rich lineup includes performances from the Sofa Surfers, Electric Indigo, Eno collaborator Hans-Joachim Roedelius with Patrick Pulsinger, funk-infused rock from I-Wolf, and 8-bit beats from a collective of Gameboy musicians — rounded out with screenings of short films and commercials soundtracked by Austrian musicians. Tonight commences with sets from electro artists hp.stonji and dZihan & Kamien, the founders of Vienna's Couch label, best known for their audacious 22-member DK orchestra project. All events are free. Fantastisch! (CJN)
