Crossroads Electronic Music Festival

Crossroads is a new annual Brisbane cultural event that aims celebrate and integrate electronic music, art and new media. The first Crossroads occurred in September 2002 and showcased visual and performance artists, DJs and musicians.

Now in it's second year running, Crossroads expands to two sounds stages and represents the key electronic music and multi-media event at SOOB [Straight Out Of Brisbane] Festival, happening 3 to 6 December.

The focus of this year's Crossroads is SUPER SATURATION, a term inspired by the saturation and manipulation of digital colour. This theme will be applied as a philosophy to all aspects of the Crossroads production, particularly the visual art - hence - a sensory overload or super-saturation of the senses will be achieved!

Crossroads will be showcasing young, emerging and established local and interstate electronic musicians, live acts and DJs; new media, multi-media, aerosol and performance artists, VJs and more.

Sounds will be highlighting the diversity and talent in the Australian, particularly Brisbane electronic music scene, incorporating everything from ambient, downbeat, hip-hop, techno, electro, house, breaks and drum`n bass beats.
