Gather up your dancing shoes and head down to The Yard for over a dozen electronic acts in one outdoor music explosion.

Fuck All Points West, the place to be on Saturday is right on the sunny Gowanus canal from noon to nine pm, for an all ages, all-day dance party. The Yard is proving to be one of the seminal New York summer venues: less crowded than McCarren pool, less sweaty than Death By Audio, it's got all the joy of your best friend's backyard plus a front-row view of the world's dirtiest river. And Saturday we've got some killer acts.

Culled by a team of obsessive curators, the first Brooklyn Electronic Music Festival features over 14 DJs and live acts on two stages at Brooklyn's Yard this Saturday August 9th, from noon to 9pm. Mainly though, BEMF was designed by and for electro-philes. Impose, Famous Friends and Street Attack have gone farther than any promoter in New York to bring out the most impressive genre-crossing amalgamation of up and coming fixtures of electronic music. This is the class of 2008's best and the brightest electronic performers in the northeast, gathering for our full-day festival. We're proud to make this a regional event for its inception, but come and witness the first installment of what will soon be an institution with a national scope.
