In the wake of their sold-out debut, Electronik Brunch is back at the CCCB. It'll be another family-friendly Sunday, where the little ones and their grandparents and everyone in between will find loads of fun and educational activities, all accompanied by brunch courtesy of Woki Organic Market. But of course music is still the star of the show. The line-up starts with the young French DJ Morgan Hammer, a true revelation in the world of electronica that seamlessly blends European techno structures with the freshest sounds from the American scene. Following Hammer is Danton Eeprom, a Frenchman based in London who will keep you wanting more as he mixes electronic and rock sounds. Later it's Crazy P Soundsystem to the stage as the most veteran group in the bunch with more than 15 years of experience who will fill the air with funk, deep house and elegant  disco. The icing on the cake will be Matías Aguayo. The international Chilean will burn up the dance floor with his relentless mixtures of house, swing, italo disco, cumbia, techno and Colombian champeta.
