Mimi Bentaleb covers two circuits that overlap more than either admits. The first is electronic music's own festival economy, from Amsterdam Dance Event to Tomorrowland. The second is the showcase and conference calendar, where bookers, agents and export offices decide a year in advance who will be on next summer's posters: MaMA in Paris, Reeperbahn in Hamburg, BIME in Bilbao, ESNS in Groningen.
She writes about what those events are for and whether they deliver it, in French, Dutch, German and Spanish language sources as well as English ones.
