Oneohtrix Point Never If Daniel Lopatin is the Philip K. Dick of the synthesizer set, his recent Garden of Delete album is his Blade Runner: a noir-ish, industrial dystopia that compels its central figure to ruminate on his humanity. He’s arguably the fest’s furthest futurist. Early Sunday, 1-2:30 a.m., Booba Cosmica.

Caribou Live music abounds at Further Future, and few acts will sound or look as live as this electronic psych quartet. Its otherworldly moods demand lots of hardware, but conventional instrumentation give it some flesh and bone—and plenty of groove. Early Saturday, 12:30-2:30 a.m., Mothership.

Dixon Given the renowned drive and dimension of this German house and techno producer/DJ’s aesthetic, it’s no wonder he’s playing a six-hour sunrise set below the iconic neon heart. Saturday, 4:30-10:30 a.m., Robot Heart.

Spacebyrdz Alex Clark and Oscar Molina will be serving up techno and house beats for breakfast. Need another reason to power through the morning? They’re locals. Saturday, 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m., Void Village.

Nicolas Jaar Las Vegas, treat this as your only shot to witness the musical moonwalker and his mesmerizing presentations of rhythm. Saturday, 9:45-11 p.m., Mothership.

Four Tet Kieran Hebden’s genre-spanning remixes (see: Radiohead, Sia, Jamie xx) and originals take a less-travelled, roundabout way to a song’s emotional center. Friday, 10:45 p.m.-12:15 a.m., Mothership.

Low Leaf A live, soulful, sunrise alternative, the Filipino-American singer/multi-instrumentalist fuses numerous genres into a blend all her own. Sunday, 5-6:30 a.m., Booba Cosmica.

Andy Stott The acclaimed dub/techno producer usually projects a darkened, slo-mo view of the dancefloor. But expect cooing, airy, tinkling cuts from his new Too Many Voices album to complement the starry ambience outside. Early Sunday, 2:30-4 a.m., Booba Cosmica.

Kid Koala The Canadian producer/DJ continues to push turntablism and hip-hop forward. Saturday, 3:30-5 p.m., Mothership.

Still Corners This folky, ethereal London duo will prepare you for both sunset and the festival’s close. Sunday, 5:45-6:45 p.m., Mothership.
