Initial details of this year's Turin's Club To Club festival have been announced.

Th 2013 edition will run from November 7th through 10th. The theme is "Twins," though there isn't much info yet as to what that actually means in terms of programming. Club To Club typically takes over venues and nightclubs in the city, happening alongside Contemporary Art Week and ARTissima.

So far, six acts have are slated to perform at the gathering: Moderat, who recently announced their long-awaited follow-up album, will play live, while Detroit house producer Kyle Hall and John Talabot will both DJ. Also booked are Tri Angle's resident conjurer of spooky sounds The Haxan Cloak, noise-drone duo Fuck Buttons and Italian group Niños Du Brasil, all of whom will perform live.

Dancity 2013 will take place in the Italian city of Foligno from June 27th to June 30th.

Every year the festival pits cutting-edge electronic acts against a historical backdrop (Foligno's roots date back to pre-Roman period times). This year, Dancity's theme is "A Unitary Urbanism," reportedly inspired by Situationist school of thought and geared towards disrupting the everyday city atmosphere with art. Events will happen in usual venue, Auditorium San Domenico, as well as a few other older buildings and a nightclub.

The festival is typically split between dance music and more experimental artists. Berghain resident Ben Klock and Border Community's James Holden are the only two DJ acts billed so far. They'll join the live dance sounds of Robert Hood, Mathew Jonson, Metro Area, Claro Intelecto and Andy Stott. UK hip-hop artist Ghostpoet and American Kranky-signed band Deerhunter are some of the other live acts confirmed, while Shackleton will premiere a brand new set at the festival, performing with the Foligno Quintana drummers.

Claudio PRC and Ness are teaming up as The Gods Planet to release an album entitled LP1.

The two artists—real names Claudio Porceddu and Andrea Deplano—are natives of Sardinia who've become known for their pursuits as producers of deep and dark techno, both as a duo and in solo mode. Porceddu is a core member of the Prologue crew, having produced his debut solo LP Inner State for that label in 2012. Deplano has also appeared on Prologue, and more recently has put out tracks and remixes for the likes of M_Rec LTD and Attic Music, along with helping to launch a new imprint, Frames Of Thought.

Porceddu and Deplano's collaboration as The Gods Planet has led to two self-released white label vinyls, and as the name implies, LP1 will be their first full-length effort together. The album is comprised of material the duo have been working on since 2009, and they describe it as "a completely Sardinian joint," with the label On2Sides and visual artist Luca Licciardi both hailing from the island as well. It'll be made available as a limited cassette tape and a digital download in May, though an exact release date is still yet to be revealed. The pair will soon link up again, as Claudio PRC and Ness, for an EP on Leo Anibaldi's Cannibald Records.

Permanent Vacation's John Talabot and Tensnake, French youngster XXYYXX and Giraffage will provide some of the more dance-oriented live sets, while R&S outfit Vondelpark and Ghostly's Shigeto will also perform live.

Organised by the people behind Turin's Movement Festival, 2013 will mark the event's second year under the Kappa sports brand. Set against the industrial backdrop of the city's Parco Dora across two stages, the first day will welcome the likes of Damian Lazarus, Kerri Chandler and Nicole Moudaber. Carl Cox is booked to headline for the second year running, while Dyed Soundorom also returns to play alongside label mates Shonky and Dan Ghenacia as Apollonia. The Sunday will keep things suitably varied with Erol Alkan, Ellen Allien and Zombie Nation featuring alongside the techno-strong pairing of Marco Carola and Richie Hawtin.
