Electronic music and related arts will be center stage again at this year's Rokolectiv festival scheduled to take place between April 17 and 21 at the Modern Club, as well as at the Museum of Contemporary Arts in Bucharest (MNAC).

The festival will kick off with the installation Waste Landscape (in picture), which will open at MNAC on April 17. Over 60,000 unsold or collected CDs which have been sorted and hand-sewn are gathered in an installation made by Elise Morin and Clemence Eliard. The opening night however will take place on April 18, at Modern, a new Bucharest club, with a live appearance of Jaki Liebezeit, the drummer of rock group CAN, alongside ‘fusionist-tribalist ‘ Burnt Friedman. Two live audio video shows will complete the evening: Kuedo's futurist beats will also feature MFO’s video realms, and the psychedelic laptop & guitar chess game Coughy.

On Friday, April 19, the fun will move to the museum's rooftop, where shadows, ghosts, and unveiled truths will take center stage. Tri-angle records stars, Holy Other and Evian Christ will make an appearance and perform during the evening, while Bucharest’s already established bass-queen Hipdiebattery, and Polish The Phantom will both open and close the evening.

Village, Sinjin Hawke, MikeQ and John Talabot will perform on Saturday, April 10, while the festival will end on Sunday, April 21, with a daytime après dance at Modern from 6:00, with no names announced, but with plenty of promised surprises.
