Kentronica brings together a diverse lineup of local and international artists exploring the fringes of sound. From deep ambient drones and modular synthesis to glitchy beats and cinematic textures, this is a day for sonic adventurers and curious listeners alike.

Expect a day of performances, live hardware sets, collaborative drone pieces, film, live visuals, workshops and theatre —all curated to celebrate innovation, atmosphere, and community in electronic music.
