Decibel Fest Announces Program Details

The Decibel Fest's programmers just announced most of its event information, including the line-up for its five A/V showcases. You can review it all here, complete with links, or skim the breakdown after the jump. Among the DJs/producers I'm excited about seeing/hearing at the fest, which takes place Sept. 24 through 27 at 14 locations around the city, are L.A.'s resident dandy Daedelus and legendary dubstep shock jock The Mad Professor. As hinted at above, one of the cool things about the fest this year is that it's expanding beyond Capitol Hill, a development worthy of such a cosmopolitan and inclusive event.
