I'm not sure how it is now it's moved to Athens itself but I went a few years back when it was over on the North coast of Attica about 50km (?) away and then it was a great combination of party by night and beach / pool by day. From: Synch newsletter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 03 May 2008 00:03 Subject: Synch in the city SYNCH JUNE 13.14.15 Technopolis Athens Benaki Museum Synch’s 5th edition is expanded into 6 different venues in the center of Athens, from Technopolis and Benaki Museum to K44, Bios, Motel and Yoga Bala, For three days and nights the Greek capital’s center will be transformed into a big cultural event full of music, digital arts and technology. Synch is showcasing artists with different musical backgrounds, who contribute to today’s music evolution. From the urban poets of the English North, Happy Mondays, the man -Juan Atkins- who invented the term “techno” and the “noisy” Chris & Cossey, to the sophisticated pop collective of Stereοlab, electro-pop diva Roisin Murphy, politically-minded Yo La Tengo and the electronic alliance of Kieran Hedben (Four Tet) and legendary drummer Steve Reid, who has collaborated with Miles Davis, Fela Kuti, James Brown. Synch also presents the new musical trends through the lens of Canadian Holy X, dubstep’ s (Kode 9, Pinch, Peverelist, Headhunter), and dance’s representatives (Juan Atkins, Andrew Weatherall, Luomo, The Field, Jamal Moss, DJ Pierre, Moritz Von Oswald), highlighting at the same time the work of electronic sound experimentalists like Vladislav Delay, Angel, Soisong and Staubgold Records’ roster. This year’s line up includes some of the most intriguing Greek acts like My Wet Calvin, Monika, Rodes, Your Hand In Mine, Parallel Worlds and many more. Synch extends its exploration beyond music’s frontiers into the fields of Moving Image and New Media, while for the first time in Europe, the festival will present the sound software for one laptop per child, the first 100$ laptop that can provide every child in Africa (and not alone) access to knowledge and modern forms of education and creativity.
