Dekmantel Festival São Paulo 2018
The comeback
For this brand new chapter, the Amsterdam crew has locked down a selection of top-tier artists alongside underground and local favorites. Electronic masterminds Four Tet and Modeselektor sign up for their first shows in São Paulo in over four years. Nina Kraviz makes a welcome return while Floating Points and Mano Le Tough are set to make hotly anticipated appearances. The festival showcases versatility by booking techno veterans such as Marcel Dettmann and DJ Stingray next to Brazilian legacy outfits Marcos Valle and Os Mulheras Negras. Up-and-comers Mall Grab, Peggy Gou, and Jayda G make their debut in Brazil while there are also a fair share of regulars present such as Antal, Palms Trax and Lena Willikens.
This year’s Dekmantel Festival takes place at former theme park Playcenter, a location that’s part of the collective memory of all who grew up in São Paulo. Serving as the main attraction in the city for many generations until 2012, it is now a mysterious, abandoned and most of all lush green area right in the heart of the city. Dekmantel will be the first to revive this nostalgic place that was once the domain of rollercoasters, transforming it into an exciting new festival site.
Together with local partner Gop Tun, Dekmantel will welcome artists that are right in the forefront of contemporary electronic music, while also tapping generously from the great source that is Brazilian music.
An overview of all artists confirmed so far can be found below and in the announcement-video made by Finnish artist Santtu Mustonen and scored by Dekmantel Records label members Bruxas.
