Among the highlights of the event include a live performance by Juan Atkins’ Model 500 project, a Sun Ra reel-to-reel session presented by techno don Mike Huckaby and a panel on techno’s early history featuring Underground Resistance’s Mike Banks, Mark Ernestus and Tresor’s Dimitri Hegemann. There will also be a whole evening dedicated to hip-hop and feminism featuring Miz Korona & The Korona Effect, Ché & Dj Stacyé J and AWA – African Women Arise.
