Dimensions Festival Adds Four Tet, Carl Craig, Mount Kimbie, more

The first ever Dimensions Festival is still five months away (Sept 6-9), but already hype is building around the incredible lineup and setting. Today they announced the final round of additions to a lineup that is already a wet dream for many dance music fans. The additions consist of Four Tet, Mount Kimbie, Carl Craig, Portico Quartet, Tom Middleton, Koreless, Todd Terje, John Talabot, Morgan Geist, Axel Boman. Here’s more from the press release:

Kieran Hebden is without a doubt one of the most diverse musicians London has produced and has played a huge role in some of the most memorable music the city has created. Known to many as Four Tet, Hebden has a career that dates back to the late 90’s with a string of impressive albums on Domino Records. Drawing elements from Folk, Jazz, Electronica and Hip Hop, Hebden has worked with a wide range of artists from MF Doom to Radiohead. Currently living in New York, Four Tet sets sail for Croatia for a highly
anticipated live performance.

Embracing the raw energy from live music, Dimensions welcomes a Mercury prize nominated four-piece band. Formed in East London, Portico Quartet have a delicate and cinematic sound drawing influence from a wide rage of genres, encompassing both acoustic and electronic elements. Another great British act to perform this year have travelled the globe with their impressive live show and have certainly made their mark on the Bass music community.
Signed to the prestigious Hotflush Recordings, Mount Kimbie bring the full live set up to Dimensions.

Tom Middelton is an artist who is no stranger to all things deep and wonderful. Prolific during the 90’s as an ambient producer, Middelton is also well versed in House and Electro. This September Middelton joins Dimensions as Sounds Of the Cosmos, his new label which showcases a variety of styles all of which fit in perfectly with the vibe of the festival.
Glasgow has always produced exceptional talent and Koreless is by far the city’s hottest new contributor. His break through moment was back in 2011with his track “4D’ which saw appreciation from Benji B and numerous Dj’s on Rinse FM. Alongside the live acts added, Dimensions boasts some of the greatest DJ’s from Europe and America. New York’s Morgan Geist of Metro Area joins Norwegian Disco prince Todd Terje, Swedish Deep House don Axel Boman and Spanish melancholic master, John Talabot.

And here’s my two cents:

Four Tet is rapidly becoming a living legend. For many 20 somethings, (incl. me, natch) Four Tet was their college dorm soundtrack. And it appealed to people who thought they didn’t like electronic music, like parents or girlfriends! He’s since earned his chops as an amibitious avant garde musician, collaborating with Burial, Thom Yorke, and the late Steve Reich and as an incredibly accomplished remixer (Aphex Twin, Andrew Bird, The xx, Radiohead, Bonobo, Madvillain, etc) . More importantly, he’s learned how to

Mount Kimbie had one of the most universally acclaimed albums of 2010, Crooks and Lovers. And while they haven’t put out a whole lot since then, I hear that their live performance is excellent. I’d be stoked to see them recreate their noodly compositions.

I don’t listen to a ton of techno, but I do know two things – 1, it’s best left to the experts, and 2, it’s best when it’s raw as fuck. So a don like Carl Craig, whose name is basically synonymous with Detroit, doing a live set with a ton of gear, well, you know that’s going to be something special.

Koreless is another big name for me. His boiler room mix was all too short, but one of the finest Dj sets I’ve heard in ages.

Launched as the little sister of Outlook, currently the world’s best bass music festival, Dimensions promises a more intimate experience focused on house, techno, and other grown-folks dance music. What it shares with Outlook, however, is the amazing setting (an abandoned castle on the Croatian coast), the most incredible soundsystems you’ve ever heard, and an absolutely unbelievable lineup.
