Saturday night will feature electro/rock hybrid MSTRKRFT. The duo of JFK and ALP have been breaking down the musical boundaries between punk, electro, disco, and more since their work with rock project, Death From Above 1979. Since then, MSTRKRFT has released their well received debut LP "The Looks," remixed tracks for the likes of Justice, Chromeo, and Armand Van Helden (to name a few), and excited dance floors the world over with their extraordinary performances. Expect a new album from MSTRKRFT soon!
Electropop will also feature a number of local talents, including blasthaus residents. And along with the musical portion of the festival, the two-night showcase will include interactive art installations by Bay Area new media artists along with blasthaus' low-tech gaming initiative BOLT (Bureau of Low Technology). Come be a part of history with Electropop, the first annual electronic music showcase at Noisepop Music, Film and Arts Festival.

Before the Ed Banger crew began taking the sounds of Daft Punk's Discovery and flipping them inside-out, Toronto's MSTRKRFT (pronounced like "Master Craft") had the equation down pat.

Noise Pop attendees might be wondering what a 23-year-old, largely unknown rapper from Washington, DC, is doing headlining a show at the festival. But if anyone can get the hipsters' hands out of their pockets and into the air, it's Wale (pronounced wah-lay, which stands for We Ain't Like Everyone).
The young MC is already a blog favorite, thanks to an Internet-only Mark Ronson remix of Lily Allen's "Smile" that Wale busted verses on. Wale also appeared alongside hot electro act Justice on the cover of URB Magazine's 150th issue, following the release of "W.A.L.E.D.A.N.C.E.," his remix of the French duo's club hit (which he performed with Ronson's band on the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards).Noise Pop attendees might be wondering what a 23-year-old, largely unknown rapper from... more

The one-time Baltimore native now fronts the Entrance Band, a trio proffering unholy late '60s-style hard rock, with maybe a touch of '90s indie-blues.Guy Blakeslee has come a long way since his days as a teenage bassist for avant-punk... more
