The May Festival is honored to present from May 11 to May 15 a selection of important German music and electronic video artists, the nutritious staging responsible for the recent world-wide development of this art.

On the 11th, Mister Coconut and his Orchestra Feat. Opening this concert cycle with a premiere specially staged for the May Festival of their ‘2008 AROUND THE WORLD TOUR’, they will present their new album with Argenis Brito. The twelve musicians of this band, headed by Atom Heart, leader of this project, will trigger the starting gunshot for this electronic German music icons marathon. Get ready to bring back to life re-mixed classics such as Daft Punk’s “Around the World”, Eurhythmics “Sweet Dreams are Made of This” and the Trio’s “DaDaDa”, with the energy and the formula that has propelled to become, in a single album, one of the most popular bands of the moment.

On May 13th, the group Apparat Band will present its recent album, “Walls”, which became one of the most important 2007 records. The creation of this band stems from their urge to play this more organic album live, not so phased on dance music as the Apparat in Solitaire project. After presenting and rolling this idea through all the most important cities of the world, they appear for the first time in Mexico, another string and exclusive platter offered via the May Festival to the delight of Guadalajara’s audiences. More brainy than danceable, Apparat’s music implicitly carries that melancholy which has taken many to say that, in spite of being almost completely computerized, it is loaded with feeling.

On May 14, it is the turn of Mouse on Mars, mythical band of the German stage. With seven albums and nine Eps, Mouse on Mars has won the reputation of being one of the most innovative and prolific groups of the electronic scene.
Musically, Mouse on Mars creates dense atmospheres thanks to their superimposing sound layers which go from experimental to pop and trying to avoid the typical looping succession, so common lately. They have collaborated with the house enlightened Mathew Herbert, and as if that were not enough, they also found time to musicalize the ineffable film “Glam” in which Tony Danza shines.

On May 15, the grand-finale corresponds to T-Raumschmiere and DJ Flush, visuals by Transforma and Thomas Brinkmann, in conjunction with Kart Kliem visuals.
The best techno and visual choice from Germany, a genuine German-Fest with a super de luxe show.
No introduction is necessary for these artists that, for their career and works deserve to be in the Hall of Fame of electronic music. You cannot risk losing this unique opportunity.
