[Dancecult-l] Electronic music and arts festivals

[Graham St John]

Thanks Evan, but to qualify my inquiry, right now im looking at 
international electronic arts festivals normally held in clubs, 
galleries, warehouses and campus buildings in metropolitan districts, 
often with arts council funding, sometimes requiring registration and 
featuring a range of experimental electronic musics alongside other 
digital media arts performances, workshops, techniques and forums. ie 
not psytrance festivals or teknivals.
