About Elektrisch Festival
Elektrisch Festival is an annual event held at Club Seilerstraße in Zwickau, Germany, dedicated to electronic body music (EBM), industrial, and dark electro genres. Organized by Emmobiz Records, the festival has become a staple in the electronic music scene, known for its exclusive performances and thematic editions.
The 16th edition, held on October 19, 2024, was themed as the “Exclusive 90’s Edition” and featured a headline performance by Calva Y Nada, marking their return to the stage after a 25-year hiatus. The event also included performances by Digital Factor, celebrating their 30th anniversary with a special release, and Accessory, who also marked three decades of music.
Earlier editions have featured acts such as Leaether Strip, Tyske Ludder, and Neotek.
Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
