Architects + Heroes own DJ Stephen R. has been added to the Closer Electronic Music Festival. The festival celebrates Portland’s unique and vibrant underground techno and house music scenes, Closer 2011 unites many of the city’s respected and influential djs, producers and live performers in a two-day, five venue festival event.

Held at several intimate spaces in the heart of Portland, the events aim to bring our scene closer, to celebrate the artists and dancers who fuel it, and to expand the collective consciousness of this burgeoning dance community.

In its debut year, Closer features over 30 local performers along with several top-notch special guests from elsewhere on the Pacific Coast. With your support we hope to grow this event in the years to come.

We’ll be announcing all the details in the days to come, so stay tuned.

The even is sponsored by our good friends at Nude Photo Music and Subsensory.
