This week the new music festival Hyperrreality opens in Vienna as part of the Wiener Festwochen, bringing together a range of acclaimed artists from diverse subcultures around the world, who are (un)shaping the evolution of electronic music. In conversation with festival curator Marlene Engel, Joel Mu reflects on the analogies of today's highly disparate musical production, Engel's approach to club music and the series of four “showcases” she has organised in Neugebäude Castle, starting tonight with Portuguese record collective Princípe, followed by NON, BALACORE and GHE20G0TH1K.
