Above: techno is BACK courtesy of a growing movement pushing the genre to re-emerge on dancefloors worldwide. One of its freshest faces happens to be London expat turned Berliner Tommy Four Seven, who'll be closing Igloofest's 2013 edition come February. Check out a clip of his work, just below.

Yes. February.
The outdoor winter music fest is extending its usual three-weekend January run well into February, if only to accommodate the event's massive crowds that just keep growing with every edition as the masses realize that dancing in -10°C weather is, contrary to inexperienced belief, REALLY FUN. And in my experienced experience, it gets hot. I always inevitably have to open my jacket while I'm dancing, regardless of how cold the night might be. Anyone skipping Igloofest over weather issues has my sympathy for missing out on one of the most exhilarating dance events on the continent.
Igloofest 2013 promises to the be the biggest and best edition yet, with organizers tacking on an unprecedented fourth weekend to the annual subzero music fest.

Of course, there's not a South American (you hearing me, Hernan Cattaneo?!), nor Mediterranean, nor Southeast Asian native in sight, but an abundance of UK, French, Dutch, American, German, Russian and of course, Canadian talent round out the 2013 Igloofest bill, fearless warriors scoffing at the very notion of frostbite come spin time.
