MiniTek | New York’s First Electronic Music Festival?

Well it’s like someone has been tapping into our conversations.  About 3 months ago we were asking why the hell New York “the nitelife capital of the world” doesn’t have an electronic dance festival.  I mean cmon – Miami has one. Detroit.  Los Angeles.  But not us.  WTF?!?

Welcome MiniTek.  A minimal techno focused music festival the likes of which we haven’t seen since the rave days.  If you can remember Park Rave Madness, Uptown Underground & Brooklyn Zoo you know what I’m talking about.  In the meantime, minimal has become real popular with the underground music circles here in Manhattan driven by the likes of groups Minimoo, ReSolute, BLK Market Membership, LESS, and the Bunker to name a few.  The culmination of which could be a really effin good music fest come September.  Come out and support.  Success means it can only be bigger better and broader next year.  — Paul [EV-11]

Details are still forthcoming, but here’s what we know so far… minitek will run September 12-14, ticket presales start June 2, and the lineup, with more to be announced, is shaping up to be damn good.
