Aphex Twin
In 2001, The Guardian described Aphex Twin as "the most innovative and influential figure in contemporary electronic music". Pitchfork referred to him as the author of "the most interesting music that has been created with a keyboard and a computer". During the 21st century Richard David James has not produced in the 13 years between his albums 'Drukqs' and 'Syro'. The latter, highly valued for its constant desire to reinvent, was awarded with the Grammy.
 
MGMT
A little more than a decade has passed since 'Oracular Spectacular', the great debut which has seen songs like 'Time to pretend', 'Electric feel' and 'Kids' permeate the indie scene. Continuing to innovate, the group don’t stop leaving their comfort zone, signing unpredictable records like their recent 'Little dark age', one of the most celebrated psychedelic pop collections of the season.
 
Editors
The Birmingham group led by Tom Smith led the way in bringing back the sounds of post-punk classics like The Cure, Joy Division, Echo & The Bunnymen and The Chameleons. After debuting in 2005, they have just released their sixth album 'Violence' which has already been defined by critics as their new creative peak.
 
Jon Hopkins Live
His collaborations with Brian Eno, Coldplay and Massive Attack are a good example of his status in the global electronic scene. His classical training and experience with film soundtracks have given him have a unique and special style. His latest album 'Singularity', which he will present at BIME Live, proves it, with critical acclaim already pointing to him as one of the greatest talents of the electronic scene.
 
Slowdive
They separated two decades ago after a short but magical discography and are claimed as one of the pillars of the British shoegaze. Their return to the stage has come accompanied by new record 'Souvlaki'.
 
Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks
As Pavement frontman and member of The Silver Jews, Stephan Malkmus is considered an alternative rock -icon as. After leaving these groups, Malkmus embarked on an illustrious solo career with the support of The Jicks, with whom he has just released his seventh album 'Sparkle Hard’ after a four-year hiatus.
 
Belako
One of the most outstanding bands on the national scene right now, receiving countless awards and and recently releasing their third album, 'Render Me Numb, Trivial Violence'. They are pure adrenaline and each concert is just as special.
 
Kurt Vile & The Violators
This respected and prolific author, founder of The War On Drugs, is part of the avant-garde of folk-rock and boasts an unmistakable style that ranges from indie-rock, psychedelic pop and acoustic intimacy. After ten fantastic years with several masterpieces, last year he released the album 'Lotta Sea Lice' with Courtney Barnett.
 
Unknown Mortal Orchestra
Probably the most important band to come out of New Zealand in the last decade, Unknown Mortal Orchestra could be considered the most original and bizarre in its history. Ruban Nielson manages the project at will, mixing passages of melodic goldsmithing with futuristic sounds, psychedelia and sharp guitars. Their fourth album 'Sex & Food' was released in April.

Damien Jurado
Finally we can see the live performance of one of the favorite alternative songs writers in the world. He began his career in the mid-90s on the label Sub Pop and 13 albums after he retains all its strength, freshness and a way of composing unorthodox and very exciting. He arrives at BIME Live with a clean and direct album, 'The Horizon Just Laughed', which he just released in May.
