Festival season is upon us, and 1 hour outside of Montreal, Canada you can find AIM Electronic Music Festival, offering an unparalleled festival experience, where attendees may immerse themselves in more than 24 hours of non-stop music, while camping amidst nature and friends. This year’s edition marks the 5th anniversary of AIM, in which the festival will be taking it back to their roots, with a curated lineup which will offer longer set times, for the ultimate musical journey. This year’s theme is ‘Monolithes City’ – which is a trip into the concrete jungle, an urban tale annexed into nature held firmly by its roots. Somewhere by the water or between the trees, we take to dancing, as with the past, this primitive ritual cannot be erased! We now present to you, AIM’s 2019 lineup.

In alphabetical order, we announce the AIM Stage, which will see South America’s techno export ANNA, Berlin’s minimal maven Anja Schneider, Argentina’s house don Guti – who will perform live, UK dance legend John Digweed – with a 4 hour extended set, evolving techno duo Pig&Dan will be making their first Canadian appearance as a live act, ethereal techno artist Soul Button, and Ukrainian duo Woo York [live] with their driving and dark yet sophisticated sound.
