Unsound Festival New York Announced for 2012

Third round of the festival to take place April 18th-22nd 

Last year’s New York edition of the Unsound Festival brought in such talent as Appleblim, Dorian Concept, Kode9, Lone, and more – so naturally we’re excited to reveal some early details of the third iteration of the festival, set to take place from Wednesday, April 18th to Sunday the 22nd. The festival, which also takes place in the fall in Krakow, Poland, works to connect lesser-known artists from Eastern Europe with their Western counterparts by working with partners including the Polish Cultural Institute New York and the Goethe-Institute New York.

Confirmed acts so far include Hype Williams, Demdlike Stare, Ital, Sun Araw, a special commissioned project by Biosphere and Lustmord, Baaba, and more – you can see the full details on the festival’s official site.
