The Together Crew will see to it that your week starting Feb 8 will be nothing less of mind blowing.

So for the past month or two, my really good friend and supreme advice giver, Chris aka C Dubs, has been up to his eyelids in work putting together a festival within Boston in conjunction with some of Boston’s best venues, producers, promoters, DJ’s, and generally, some of the best people around the East Coast. As one of the founding members of the Bassic night in the Bean, Chris has been dealing with one of Bostons first ever week long electronic music festivals to grace this side of the country. (and oh boy are you guys in for a treat!)

Okay so what exactly IS Together Festival about?
“Together: The New England Electronic Music Festival is a multi-venue, multi-party, multi-panel super event uniting not simply genres of music, but entire scenes once thought to be disparate. The city of Boston provides a unique platform as well, with its enormous student population, numerous technology centers and differing types of venues.

Together Boston will reach thousands of personalities within the mixing generation. As The New England Electronic Music Festival we will touch on not just dance music, but the emerging technologies of electronic music production. By involving different groups—from the most senior avant-garde lovers to the youngest members of this new sound, this is the genesis of a new era of collaboration and innovation for the New England arts, technology and music communities.”

If you have a love of dance music, or are even just a tad interested in the emerging new sounds that have been so heavily changing the music industry, you wont want to miss the events of this week long party. So dust your dancing shoes off and brace yourself…

What is BFF you ask?

“In 2001, Brendt Barbur, Founder and Director, was compelled to start the Bicycle Film Festival after being hit by a bus while riding his bike in New York City. Instead of being deterred by this experience, it inspired him to create a festival that celebrates the bicycle through music, art, and film. Now in its ninth year the festival is held in 39 cities worldwide. 250,000 people are expected to attend this year.

The Bicycle Film Festival celebrates the bicycle in all forms and styles. If you can name it – Tall Bike Jousting, Track Bikes, BMX, Alleycats, Critical Mass, Bike Polo, Road Cycling, Mountain Biking Recumbents – we’ve probably either ridden or screened it. What better way to celebrate these lifestyles than through art, film, music and performance?
We bring together all aspects of bicycling to advocate its ability to transport us in various ways. Ultimately the BFF is about having a good time. We have been fortunate enough to include the work of established artists such as Jorgen Leth, Mike Mills, Jonas Mekas, Blonde Redhead, Swoon and Michel Gondry; as well as talented newcomers as part of our programming.”
