On paper, it reads like a booking sheet for a spontaneous festival that happens to be landing in the middle of downtown Montreal: The Society for Arts and Technology (SAT) is bringing big international names together this summer: DJ Nobu from Japan, KiNK from Bulgaria, AceMo and Sister Zo from New York, Belaria from Paris.

But there’s more to it than that.

Dômesicle is the SAT's immersive electronic music series. Artists, collectives, VJs and audiences gather beneath the Satosphere's dome for nights where electronic music and immersive audiovisual creation come together. Over the years, Dômesicle has become a must-attend event on Montreal's electronic music calendar.

What the SAT has built over 11 consecutive Friday nights from June 12 through August 21, 10 p.m. to 3 a.m. inside the Satosphere, is more like a statement. Every one of those international names shares a bill with Montreal artists and collectives who don't need the co-sign: Ferias, Homegrown Harvest, Musik Me Luv, OCTOV, Shift Radio, Homeby6, and Ether are on the tickets, name that have been building this city's electronic culture from the inside out, night after night, for years. Dômesicle puts them on the same stage, at the same level, in the same room.

And the room? It’s under an 18-metre-wide dome kitted out with eight 4K projectors and 93 speakers that wrap the space in precisely spatialized sound and image. As the first permanent immersive theatre in the world built entirely for artistic creation, it’s a venue that simply doesn't exist anywhere else.

Across 11 nights, the programming spans techno, house, groove, electro, trance, EBM, disco, bass music, and everything that falls between and beyond those categories. Each night pairs headliners with live 360° visuals performed in real time by VJs with visuals that are intertwined with the set.
