Keeping track of new music, media and industry news.

Taking place in Torino every November, Club To Club has established itself as not only the premier music festival in Italy, but one of the very best electronic music events in the world. Attracting over 40,000 eager punters to ‘the Capital of the Alps’, the line-up consistently curates some of the finest artists in the field – in fact, the quality is so strong that it spills out into satellite events in London and Istanbul.

True to form, this years’ bill faultlessly spans the spectrum of electronic music. On the more experimental side, Holly Herndon will be bringing her conceptual laptop acrobatics to Italy, which will no doubt be appreciated by the members of Throbbing Gristle / Factory Floor spin-off project Carter Tutti Void, and esteemed electronic composer Oneohtrix Point Never, who will both also be performing.

Chaotic noise conduit Prurient will be looking to test the festival’s speaker capacity, but those looking for something more danceable are more than catered for too. Disco dynamo Todd Terje will be laying his groovy Nordic sounds down, and Jamie xx will surely produce one of the most crowd-pleasing sets of the event. Accomplished beat-sculptors Andy Stott, Jeff Mills and Shackleton are certain to provide some crucial dancefloor action as well.

Four Tet and Nicolas Jaar will both be showcasing their recent releases, but the entertainment at Club To Club expands even further beyond the more electronic elements. Syrian dabke specialist Omar Souleyman will play wedding music the like of which you’ve never heard before (unless you’ve been lucky enough to see him in the past), while the pulverising post-rock of Battles will also make a welcome appearance.

Finally, it wouldn’t be a festival in 2015 without grime and PC Music being represented, and here that will be done by Mumdance & Novelist ft. The Square for the former and SOPHIE & QT for the latter. All performed at Sonar recently, and you can read our review of that event here for an idea of how they got on…
