When the time has come to do the last preparations for Christmas, and the anticipation starts getting to unbearable due to the gifts that might be placed under the tree, the time has come for the yearly BIM Fest in Belgium. Like in the years before, also the 8th issue comes up with a diversified program and top acts to look forward to. The initial headlining slots were actually given to LAIBACH and JUNO REACTOR, who unfortunately can’t make it to the festival. But don’t you worry as adequate replacements have been found. This year’s BIM Fest will be headlined by EBM legend Claus Larsen aka LEAETHER STRIP who already celebrated a triumphant live comeback e.g. in Germany at Amphi festival and surely will drive the crowd in Belgium nuts.

The next highlight comes right from the US to provide the audience with an array of minimalist club anthems with CRASH COURSE IN SCIENCE and making the dance floors blistering. The next top act is a duo from the UK that has been gone for a long time but has reformed in 2009 playing already a plethora of live shows, exciting audiences in London Berlin and Bochum. At BIM Fest, they’re going to add the vintage touch to the line-up but also show that they’re music hasn’t lost a bit of its power and intensity. Other acts you can look forward to experiencing are e.g. a reunion with Jean Luc De Meyer and 32CRASH, as well as an encounter with AMGOD, founded in 1993 by former YELWORC member Dominik van Reich. Don’t miss this chance to spend an evening with some of the pioneers in electronic music. You surely won’t regret it.
