Durham, North Carolina, provides a scene full of inspiration for the colliding worlds of technology and music. Just hours away from the Moog Music Factory in Asheville, the area was named one of the hottest cities for tech in 2016 by Business Insider. Moog is a unique festival in that it is just as invested in technology as it is in music. Daytime during the event will focus on a wealth of panels, workshops, and installations led by headlining artists and tech icons. Moogfest proves to be an innovator for premiere performances, experiences, and art installations.

Today, Moogfest also released Translational Drifts: Volume 2, an EP which features past, present, and future Moogfest artists that helped (or will help) to shape the festival's sound. This installment of the EP series includes Brooklyn’s jazz and funk master Afrikan Sciences, The Haxan Cloak, Karen Gwyer, Nosaj Thing, and tAz Arnold for eclectic electronic bliss.
