This is Distortion, one of Europe's biggest, most crazy street events. Including buses, trains, boats, even tanks!

This year, Retelly takes you through the 4 days of party extravaganza to find out what this freeform monster is all about…

About Distortion Fesitval
openhagen Distortion is "a celebration of streetlife & nightlife" orchestrating 150+ dancefloors hosted by 150+ local and international icons of streetlife and nightlife (people, shops, clubs, galleries, labels, magazines…). The characteristic Distortion atmosphere involves high-energy impulsive chaos with a strong "streetlife freedom" feel. The music selection is sharp and upfront: names like Hot Chip, Simian Mobile Disco, Spank Rock feat. Amanda Blank and Sebastien Tellier were booked for Distortion events before they had become underground heroes of international scope (see notable names & dates below). The festival has always been a Copenhagen leader in the field of using urban space and unusual locations: In the years 2005-2006 the festival started to focus strongly on outdoor street parties. In 2008 Distortion changed its tagline "A Celebration of Copenhagen Nightlife" to "A Celebration of Streetlife & Nightlife": out of 56 events, 14 of them were street parties and 3 of them were massive outdoor block parties on famous Copenhagen squares (Latin Quarters + Sankt Hans Torv + Enghave Plads). In 2011, Copenhagen Distortion became one of the largest street events in Europe with 80.000-100.000 people per day.

About Retelly
Let’s face it, the Internet is a wasteland. A zillion hours of homemade YouTube clips hasn’t exactly produced another Hitchcock. Instead, we find ourselves drowning in a sea of cat videos. Retelly provides an escape from all that. Videos are sorted into eight categories, like Adrenaline, Documentary, LOL, or Places enough to keep a curious person occupied for hours. The videos are selected to make viewers emerge feeling energized and inspired.

The internet promised us that once content access was democratized, the cream would rise to the top. Though today’s reality might seem clouded, sites like Retelly are doing their part to recapture that worthwhile dream.
