THUMP Is Hosting Floating Points at BEMF This Year, Along with Four Panel Discussions

Our favorite dance music scholars will discuss hot topics at VICE HQ before the UK artist's new ensemble hits the THUMP stage.

The 2015 edition of the Brooklyn Electronic Music Festival is upon us—and THUMP is psyched to get in on the action this year. We've scheduled a whole day of programming for next Saturday, November 7th, starting with a series of afternoon roundtable chats. At night we'll all head to the Music Hall of Williamsburg, where Floating Points and his eleven-piece ensemble will grace the THUMP stage with a rare live performance.

It all kicks off at 4 PM at the VICE office lobby in Williamsburg, with a session called Future-Proofing Tomorrow's Technology, a celebration of today's timeless gear and tomorrow's classics that we've organized with the help of the lovely folks over at Novation Music. Then it's The Invisible Woman: Gender Equality in Dance Music (a subject we at THUMP have spent plenty of time covering), followed by What the Streaming Wars Mean for the Future of Music, and at 7 PM, a community roundtable on New York City Vogue and Ballroom Culture.

Then at 8 PM, doors open at the Music Hall of Williamsburg, which gives us just about enough time to wolf down a salad before party time.

To RSVP for the daytime roundtable sessions, email us at thump-media@vice.com. Tickets for Saturday night's gig at the THUMP stage are available here.
