Derby Electronic Music festival
PR Leap (press release)
CM) UK instrumental music label AD Music celebrates its 20th anniversary this year with a festival of electronic music in Derby. The midlands was considered by many people to be the UK hub of electronic music with a series of similar events in Derby during the 1990’s including the last AD Music festival in 1996 featuring Klaus Schulze. AD Music hope that this 2009 event will help rejuvenate interest in an annual all day electronic music festival and if it’s a financial success then it is AD Music’s intention to organize another next year. So if you’re into electronic space music of the Kraftwerk Tangerine Dream Vangelis Jean Michel Jarre style and era then this event should appeal to you so come along to the Derby electronic music festival. As can be seen from the strong 2009 line up it is not exclusively an "AD Music artist" festival and it won’t be in the future either.
