In 2005 and 2006 Belio Magazine organized, one of the most experimental and transgressor cultural events that have been held in Madrid: DeciBELIO Festival.



It was a kind of cultural rave with free entry, where the latest trends in digital art, urban culture and electronic music were presented. Two long nights with more than 100 international artists spread over different areas: music, visuals, graffiti, experimental art installations, video, design and so on. The festival was subsidized by The Council of Madrid.




On February 11th and 12th, 2005 (from 22:00 to 6:00 pm) we held the first edition of the festival at a factory in the outskirts of Madrid, near Boadilla del Monte town. It was an absolute success of criticism and public, with the assistance of nearly 10,000 people between the two days.

The guest artists in  2005 DeciBELIO Festival were: Kid 606 (USA), Dj Rupture (USA), Panacea (DE), Proyecto Mirage (ES), Klangstabil (DE/IT), Salt (DE), Strand (ES), Squaremeter (DE), Substanz-T (BEL), Architect (DE), Needle Sharing (DE), Metropol (ES), AZ-Rotator (ES), CTRLer (ES), J.O.R (ES), Pablo vs Javier IA (ES), Freaklüb (ES), D'Face (UK), Dr. Hofmann (ES), Flying Fortress (DE), El Tono y Nuria (ES), Suso33 (ES), Nano 4814 (ES), Suso (ES), Boris Hoppek (DE), Extralargos (ES) 123 Klan (FR), Insect (UK), No-domain (VEN), Vasava (ES), Power Graphixx (JP), Phoenixart (USA), Phunk (SING), Mk12 (USA), Lobo (BRA), Masa (VEN), Robledo + MTV (ES), Ezba (ES), Grande Graphix (ES), Brain Box (IT), Keloide (VEN), Buck (USA), Superdeux (FR), Pleaseletmedesign (BEL), Vertico's Puppets (DE), Matt Clark (USA), Nathan Jurevicius (AUS), Copyright Studio (ES), Gee.Oh.Dee (ES), The Red Ribbon (ES), Softless (ES), Mate Universe (DE), Big Toxic & Nikky Schiller (ES), Fiumfoto (ES), Anxo Amaralle (ES), Gabriel Dhijo (ES), Adelin Schweitzer (FR), Fuss!

No future!
After two successful editions of DeciBELIO Festival supporting alternative expressions of ART, the Government of Madrid decided to not continue with the financial support of this cultural event. The unique reason that they have given us is that they are interested in other kind of projects.

We are still working hard to get new sponsors and institutional supports to organize again the festival, a difficult and complicated work in a city like Madrid... For the moment we can't promise anything, we can't give concrete dates or location of the next edition of the festival, because DeciBELIO is like a miracle in the middle of the spanish desert, and we can't predict miracles... although we can believe to make dreams come true again!
