Though it is not quite a fully mainstream genre, many say that EDM has become a bit predictable. Festivals devoted to the genre tend to meld together and thus, it can be hard to separate the devotees from the dilettantes. The NNMF is not just aware of that fact, they are actively trying to provide a more authentic electronic music experience to new fans and avid festival-goers alike. Though the featured producers and DJs at this three-day festival range from the emerging to the internationally-known, there is a marked emphasis on fostering unknown acts to help them build a following. In addition, organizers feel passionate about leaving room for experimentation in the genre, so you won’t just be hearing a Top 40 of electronic music as you might at other festivals. Add in the majestic setting amidst the “Redwood Curtain” as well as some distinctly laid-back Californian and bohemian vibes, and you’ve got an event that stands out from the rest.
