How many great European techno festivals are out there?

One has to keep asking, as news of yet another is unleashed.

c/o pop takes place for its fifth annum in Cologne, Germany and will feature a whole rambunctious and lovely slew of artists from the 13th through to the 17th this month.

2008 will be the second year of the “Europareise” project, an international summit meeting of European festival organizers sponsored by the Federal Cultural Foundation, and of the “Asia-Pacific Platter”, an inter-cultural exchange programme hosted by the Goethe-Institut to promote cooperation between electronic musicians from Germany, Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand.

Cologne’s flagship label Kompakt will also be heading up one of the highlights of the party program, with their event “Total 9”, and there will also be an open air classic party called “PollerWiesen” on the Sunday of the festival with Sven Väth, Ricardo Villalobos, and Chris Tietjen.

Acts catching Beatport’s attention include, but are not limited to:
Hercules & Love Affair, the BPitch label crew: Paul Kalkbrenner, Sascha Funke, Fritz Kalkbrenner, and Zander VT.

In fact another great aspect of the event will be a special film screening of Paul Kalkbrenner’s film, “Berlin Calling”.

The closing Sunday party called Treibstoff takes place with a live set by Robert Babicz, and DJ sets from Sarah Goldfarb, Gabriel Ananda, Marcel Janovsky, Rene Breitbarth, and with visuals by Four your Eye.

Traum Schallplatten also has a party on Saturday August 16th in the Sensor club that will feature some of its remarkable artists: Dominik Eulberg (DJ), Thomas Brinkmann (live), Piemont (live), Triple R (DJ), Roland M. Dill (DJ), Pierce (DJ), Oliver Hacke (DJ) and a new band called Scott playing a blend of Chicago and Detroit house, live.

This party will support some of the label’s latest releases, namely:

TRAUM V101 Super Flu - Rattelschneck
Release date: 04August08

TRAPEZ 090 TG – Mr Dry
Release date: 11.August2008
