the Emerald Lounge will present MODE:fest, a free, one-day electronic music festival showcasing some of Asheville's best electronic music. MODE:fest will feature extended DJ sets from Disc-oh!, DJ Story, The Wolf, Apogee, IXNéE, CollectiveONE, Stereospread, Jer Bear, Crux, and B1G BEN. MODE:fest highlights the diverse talent of Asheville's burgeoning electronic music scene and brings listeners a sonic experience on par with the city's larger electronic festivals in a small club atmosphere. MODE:fest embodies the concept that the best MODE to experience music is free, local, and on the dance floor.

Many of the artists playing MODE:fest have played at some of the largest music festivals in the country, including Burning Man. The Wolf (aka John Wolf), CollectiveONE, and B1G BEN hail from the Asheville Drum and Bass Collective. ADBC recently started its third year of free weeklies, and John Wolf's SOUNDfoundation throws intimate parties with world class multigenre sounds. IXNéE has been rocking dancefloors across the country since 2007 from Chicago to San Francisco. Disc-oh! has been pumping clubs and parties in the Southeast with his distinctly urban sound since '99. DJ Story has been producing and performing music for over a decade at some of electronic music's largest festivals and events. Jer Bear will be spinning some of the hottest and darkest underground sounds of Dubstep, Drum and Bass, Glitch-Hop, Trance, and Trap. Apogee will be contributing original material for an event that is sure to keep you dancing all day. And in addition to scorching sets from these world class acts, Stereospread will be remixing their popular synthpop tracks and presenting new dance tracks.

MODE:fest will open from 12pm to 2am on April 27th. Admission is free and open to ages 21 and up. The Emerald Lounge is located at 112 N Lexington Ave in Asheville, NC.
