The Spanish electronic music festival Sonar has released the first round of acts for its first ever Chicago edition to be held Thursday, Sept. 9 through Saturday, Sept. 11 at both Jay Pritzker Pavilion and the Chicago Cultural Center.

Time Out Chicago confirms that Canadian DJ Kid Koala will perform with his new project The Slew. Also slated to appear are dubstep guru Martyn, electronica artist and producer Nosaj Thing, Chicago experimental producer The Flashbulb, and ambient techno-poppers Oval, who are signed to Chicago’s own Thrill Jockey.

Get the full schedule and information on Sonar’s film festival after the jump.

In addition to the music, Sonar Chicago will hold SonarCinema during the day.

Per Time Out Chicago:
During the sunlit hours, Sonar By Day will feature film screenings that range from a documentary on the festival itself to a BBC produced exploration of synthesizers and how they influenced popular music in the ’70s and ’80s. In addition there will be audiovisual performances and demonstrations held in the Chicago Cultural Center.

Sonar Chicago is stacking up to be the premiere destination for the world’s hottest electronic music acts. If the current schedule is any indication, there are more acts to be announced for Friday’s show at Pritzker Pavillion.
