Piknic Électronik has unveiled its 14th season of programming, which will take place from May 22nd to October 2nd. Piknic prides itself on bringing world conquering artists to Montreal, and the 14th season features a truly international line-up. The inaugural double weekend kicks off Sunday, May 22nd with a live set of gear-heavy House and Techno by Bulgarian innovator KiNK (BG) at the Solotech stage. The very next day, May 23rd, Four Tet (GB) brings an eclectic mix of bass and broken beats to the Calder, twisting GB dance music into new shapes, and they top off the month with a sterling set of Berlin techno by Berghain resident Len Faki (DE) on May 29th.
Things will only get wilder when they team up with MUTEK on June 5th for a two-stage takeover featuring Philly dance legend Josh Wink (US) before following it up with Kill The DJ Records’ Chloé (FR) on June 12th. They’re also thrilled to announce that Crew Love willhelm our main stage to present Soul Clap (US) and Wolf + Lamb (US) on June 26th, highlighting the deeper side of US dance music.
Rolling through July, Cologne’s Lena Willikens (DE) will join Paris-based LOUISAHHH (US) for a day of raw outsider house and bumping techno on July 3rd, and tINI’s (DE) breezy Ibiza vibes will make Montreal dance on July 10th. In the spirit of cooperation, they’ll then be partnering with MEG on July 24th for a two-stage collaboration featuring, among others, jackin’ house don Huxley (GB). Rush Hour veteran San Proper (NL) will bring the sound of Amsterdam to our shores on August 21st and they’ll be closing the month with a set of soulful techno by Deetron (CH) on August 28th, but don’t think the party’s over just yet! They’ve got House trendsetters George Fitzgerald (GB) and Bicep (IE) presented by friends NEON on September 5th, rave legend DJ Harvey (GB) on September 18th, and plenty more to come.
