Lewsberg
Lewsberg are a four-piece rock group from Rotterdam, who take their name from writer and fellow Rotterdammer Robert Loesberg, famous for his dark and subversive 1974 novel Enige Defecten, which, with its theme of counterculture and big-city cynicism during the 1960s and 1970s, is a huge source of inspiration for the band.
After putting out The Downer ep and single Non-fiction Writer in 2017, Lewsberg released their self-titled debut full-length album in the Netherlands in 2018. Nine rudimentary and repetitive rock songs, full of a tough, nonchalant intensity. The English lyrics, delivered with a heavy Rotterdam accent, show a tendency towards existentialism and black humour. The album will be re-released worldwide in January 2019.
“Rotterdam Talking Heads/Television enthusiasts jut out with a riveting chugger of blase threat and moral ambivalence.” — MOJO
EUT
Bursting onto the independent music scene with a bold new attitude, Amsterdam’s EUT bring a fresh dose of energy to 1990s nostalgia. Drawing on influences from bands such as the Pixies, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Blur, Weezer, Hole, Wilco and Beck, EUT met at art college in 2016 and haven’t looked back since. Fronted by charismatic whirlwind front woman Megan de Klerk, the band combines beautifully crafted songs with captivating melodies, catchy pop hooks and immediate lyrics on topics such as youthfulness and coming of age. Part of a local scene that includes breakout band Pip Blom (now signed to iconic British label Heavenly Recordings) EUT are at once dynamic and intriguing, without sounding too polished.
The band started to make waves internationally after playing packed shows at the latest editions of Reeperbahn Festival in Germany and Les Transmusicales in France. Their sparkling and stunning new indie-pop single Supplies was recently picked up by BBC Radio 1’s Jack Saunder’s as a ‘Next Wave’ track and is starting to build momentum on UK radio. EUT's debut album Fool For The Vibes will see a UK release later this year.
Canshaker Pi
“Canshaker Pi will blow the world away with their sound. They are loud, young and not too snotty. They play guitar rock. They don't sound like anything in the Portland Oregon high school system I can tell you that – confident, frustrated tunes beyond their years. Get in the way of these lads and sparks will fly for sure.” – Stephen Malkmus
Indeed, a Canshaker Pi show can be described as one big kamikaze run. The Amsterdam-based quartet's inflammable brand of indie rock is a gleeful but high-stakes affair. The first thing you notice about Canshaker Pi is how they relish puerile dicking about, albeit never just for the sake of just “dicking about.”
Beneath their fidgety, high-strung stage antics simmers a piercing intensity, one that perhaps comes with a creeping awareness that the days of being young, wild and free will eventually pass. Canshaker Pi frantically capitalise on their youthful zest with a relentless now-or-never stride.
EXIT festival gathers leading DJs for a massive Dance Arena blowout
Judging from previous years’ production, the spectacular Dance Arena stage at the globally acclaimed EXIT Festival will once more push the envelope. Carl Cox already confirmed his return to one of the greatest electronic music stages in the world, and now other leading headliners of today will join him in Serbia on the first weekend of July. Even with more names to come in the following weeks, EXIT seems to be gathering its strongest techno and house lineup at the colossal Arena! It will feature a 2-hour live set by one of the greatest techno producers, the Berliner who packs up stadiums with ease – Paul Kalkbrenner! His live set in front of half a million people at Brandenburg Gate in 2014 is now firmly a part of the music history. Electronic heavyweights will share ranks with new age heroines Amelie Lens and Charlotte de Witte, who have gone a long way since their teenage days in Belgium. Thanks to their true love of music and playing numerous sold out shows around the planet, they both became global superstars and a unique phenomenon of today's music!
EXIT Dance Arena 2019 - The biggest year ever: https://youtu.be/pzaEvJhhu-8
Also joining the bill will be Detroit's virtuoso Jeff Mills with his signature futuristic techno sound in the setting of the magnificent Petrovaradin Fortress, where one of the Europe's major festivals is held each summer. The great Maceo Plex, an ultimate headliner of the greatest festivals and a producer of impeccable sound who singlehandedly changed electronic music and erased genre divisions, is also arriving to one of his favorite stages. Nowadays, as almost a resident at the Serbian festival, he once told in a documentary about the Dance Arena, how he used to wonder whether he will play at EXIT! Another superhero who looks forward to Arena is Boris Brejcha, a German producer with his recognizable “joker” mask, who created his own sound dubbed the “high tech minimal” which has since become one of the most popular styles. For the first time ever, the overwhelming sight of EXIT's Dance Arena will fall in hands of Peggy Gou, the rising Korean star whose music selection and the sheer feeling for the floor many consder to be nothing short of sensational while her single "Itgehane" marked the last year in the eyes of critics and fans alike.
But perhaps the most emotional debut this year’s Arena will be that one of Dax J, who holds some of the loudest accolades from the fans worldwide, together with all the leading media and the biggest festivals. He will be marking exactly 10 years after he has won EXIT's DJ competition as an anonymous artist back in 2009 which then got him his first EXIT performance at one of the festival's smallest stages! Another strong debut at the Arena goes to powerful Monika Kruse, a German techno boss who runs one of the most important record labels in the world – Terminal M. After numerous demands and at a time when they are on top of their game, the popular tandem Adriatique will be making their way to the trenches of the Petrovaradin Fortress, followed by the two rising stars and one of the most exciting live acts of the moment, Johannes Brecht and Satori!
Coinciding with the rise of the regional scene, the strongest resident lineup this year comes from the top of charts, standing shoulder to shoulder with the headliners! Among them are the No.1 regional duo, Mladen Tomic and Sinisa Tamamovic, top selling producers from Bosnia, as well as the Serbian local hero, Ilija Djokovic, whose hit single “Atom” is at the Beatport's top spot right now! Croatian producer Lawrence Klein and Bosnian DJ Forniva, as well as the Serbian tandem Miloš Vujović and Ranchatek whose music is published by Carl Cox, will be bringing more powerful b2b sets! Arena will receive an influx of fresh local faces too, such as Runy and Coeus, whose production is played by the Tale of Us and many other top acts!
Second release EXIT tickets almost gone!
EXIT tickets can be found at exitfest.org, and for those who wish to bundle them with accommodation and local transfer, there are also packages from €135. The default accommodation is the festival camp which is located on a sand beach in Novi Sad, next to the river Danube, while hotels can be booked through EXIT’s official tourist agency at exittrip.org.
EXIT Festival will be held 4-7 July 2019 at Petrovaradin Fortress in Novi Sad, Serbia and the first phase lineup already includes The Cure, Greta Van Fleet, Carl Cox, Paul Kalkbrenner, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Phil Anselmo & The Illegals, Sofi Tukker, Jeff Mills, Amelie Lens, Charlotte de Witte, Maceo Plex, Boris Brejcha, Dax J, Peggy Gou, Monika Kruse, Tarja, The Selecter, Peter and the Test Tube Babies, Adriatique, Johannes Brecht, Satori and many more to be announced in the weeks ahead.

OFF Festival Katowice 2019: The Power of the Individual
From Aldous Harding and Neneh Cherry to Electric Wizard and Lotic: Endless Power: As always, individuals, talented madmen, and creative outsiders are the driving force behind the OFF Festival.
This year’s OFF Festival also features the previously announced acts: Daughters, The Gaslamp Killer, The Comet Is Coming, Perfect Son, Boogarins, Lebanon Hanover, and Bamba Pana & Makaveli.
Newly announced artists....
Aldous Harding
This is an invitation to a party. But Harding’s Party, one of the most beautiful and riveting albums of 2017, is more of a folk-tuned meditation than a crazy night of dancing. It’s an intimate journey into the self, a search for answers to the most challenging questions about life and death. The New Zealand-based singer is now putting the finishing touches on her third release, this one produced by John Parish (PJ Harvey, Sparklehorse), so we’re sure to hear the next chapter of her enthralling story this summer in Katowice.
Neneh Cherry
Neneh Cherry reigned the charts in the 1990s (who could forget “7 Seconds”?), and after a prolonged, near-twenty-year hiatus as a solo artist, she returned with a whole new artistic concept. She remains a wonderful vocalist and a keen observer, ready to dish out uncompromising critiques of a world that is veering dangerously off course. Just listen to last year’s excellent release Broken Politics, an ostensibly quiet album that’s nevertheless streaked with anxiety and darkness. Produced by Four Tet (who is joined on one track by Massive Attack’s Robert Del Naja), the LP is sure to win the approval of fans of trip-hop and Gil Scott Heron alike.
Electric Wizard
If Hammer Films’ horror movies had a musical equivalent, it would be the British doom/stoner scene, a natural descendent of Black Sabbath, but with few of Tony and Ozzy’s apprentices in its ranks today. The school’s notable alumni undoubtedly include Electric Wizard, a Dorset quartet that has spent the past quarter century steeped in distortion, reverb, mystical incantations, and clouds of smoke. Whether they play tracks off of their now-legendary album Dopethrone or more their recent work on Wizard Blood Wizard, there’s only one possible excuse for not headbanging at this show: you’ve been decapitated by Electric Wizard’s massive sound.
Loyle Carner
“Being a rapper is wicked—it means I can have ADHD and make money, something not everybody gets to do,” Loyle Carner told the Guardian, and he wasn’t kidding. After years of learning to manage his condition with therapy, he now takes solace in cooking (his kitchen skills are so good that he runs his own cookery school) and music. And he’s enjoying increasing success in the latter: his debut album Yesterday’s Gone (2017) was nominated for a Mercury Prize, a Brit Award, and an NME Award. This year, look forward to new tracks by the British rapper and a live performance in Katowice.
Lotic: Endless Power
An American by birth but a Berliner by choice, J’Kerian Morgan, aka Lotic, aka Lotic: Endless Power is among the most unique figures on the electronic dance music scene today. One Pitchfork reviewer managed to capture the essence of his sound perfectly, describing it as “balanc[ing] on the edge between agony and ecstasy, sweetness and malevolence.” After a series of underground releases on such respected labels as Janus Berlin, #FEELINGS, and Sci Fi & Fantasy, in 2018 the producer debuted with the full-length album Power, released by Tri Angle (home to The Haxan Cloak and Forest Swords). Uniquely absorbing and original, the record is unlike any LP released in 2018. Lotic: Endless Power is currently preparing a special showcase of his new material in cooperation with the visual artist Emmanuel Biard and the fashion designer Chaz Aracil.
Phum Viphurit
Born in Thailand and raised in New Zealand, Phum Viphurit is, in musical terms, a global citizen, one whom many see as a worthy competitor to Mac DeMarco. His specialty is the emotional or happy folk balled, though he’s no stranger to soul-style zeal and the occasional alternative extravagance. Whatever the mood, Phum is invariably convincing and charming, and he proves as much on his debut record Manchild and the single “Lover Boy,” the teaser for his his upcoming sophomore LP.
Black Midi
Little is known about Black Midi aside from the fact that they’re from London and that they’re considered among the hottest live acts in the UK—a reputation they earned by blowing festival audience’s minds at The Great Escape, Eurosonic, and SXSW. This is the kind of math/noise rock that unwavering evangelists of the guitar band have been waiting for. Not since This Heat has an act combined progressive rock and punk this perfectly.
SAMA’
Who plays techno in Palestine? Well, Sama Abdulhadi, for one. The DJ, producer, and promoter has been throwing electronic music parties in Ramallah for well over a decade. Her name and artistic pseudonym is the Arabic word for “heaven.” And it does look like the heavens have blessed her activity, because SAMA’ has performed everywhere from the UK to Egypt and Paris, all while working on her own original productions.
The 2019 OFF Festival Katowice will take place August 2–4 at Three Pond Valley, its regular venue. Three-day passes are now available at the OFF Shop for 290 PLN. This price lasts until February 24 or until the first round of tickets is sold out! Campground tickets are also available for 80 PLN.
Lost Frequencies and Tom Walker confirmed for EXIT Festival
Some of the hottest and the most acclaimed acts in music will be arriving to the Petrovaradin Fortress for the next edition of the EXIT Festival in Novi Sad, Serbia, July 4th to 7th, including The Cure, Greta Van Fleet, Carl Cox, Phil Anselmo, as well Sofi Tukker, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike and many others. They will be joined by the chart toppers, dance wizzard Lost Frequencies and the indie rocker who owns one of the greatest hits of 2018, “Leave a Light On”, the man with stardust in his footsteps, Tom Walker! EXIT Main Stage will also welcome Belgian electronic tandem, Two Pauz, whose tracks received the seal of approval from Lost Frequencies and Martin Garrix! https://youtu.be/drT2sMtFCHI
An outstanding hitmaking master, the Belgian superstar Lost Frequencies is coming to Exit’s Main Stage! His tracks, such as “Are you with me” and “Reality”, numbering Youtube views in hundreds of millions, have conquered the tops of the most important European charts, while “Are you with me” went diamond in Germany! After shaking up the audiences at numerous festivals around Europe, including the Sea Dance festival last summer, the DJ born under the name of Felix De Laet is coming back to this year’s EXIT with some contagious tracks, including the summer hit collaboration “Melody” with the talented James Blunt, receiving almost 100 million YouTube views, as well as the new version of the popular song from the end of the last century, “What is Love”, which thrilled even its original performers! Although only 25 years old, Lost Frequencies built a respectable career, among other things due to the fact that the festival giant Tomorrowland has let him host his own stage for four years in a row, dubbed the Lost Frequencies & Friends Stage!
Tom Walker, born and bread in Scotland, gained instant stardom when he published his internationally acclaimed “Leave a Light On” which sold an incredible 2 million copies around the world and hit Number One in numerous countries, and it has been streamed 300 million times so far. Apart from going platinum in several countries, this track launched Walker’s popularity in the United States, where his name reached top charts and popular TV shows. His skill was recognized at the BRIT Awards as well, where he is nominated for the Best British single, as well as the Best New Artist. EXIT Festival audience will have the opportunity to listen to his tracks such as “Just You and I“, “Fly Away With Me“, „Angels“, as well as the cooperation with the energetic Rudimental, “Walk Alone“. We are impatiently waiting for his debut album “What A Time To Be Alive“, announced for March, where he collaborated with producers who have supported global stars such as Adelle, Arctic Monkeys, Ed Sheeran and Years&Years.
Two Pauz, the duo from Brussels, will bring their own mix of melodic and strong electronic sound that makes them unique. Apart from “Space”, a deep house track published via Martin Garrix’s label STMPD, Two Pauz did a remix for Lost Frequencies’ hit “Melody” alongside names such as Ofenbach, giving us a unique new song twist.
EXIT tickets are available at exitfest.org, and for those who wish to bundle them with accomodation and local transfer, there are also packages starting at €135. Default accommodation is the festival camp located on the city beach, while hotels can be booked through EXIT's official tourist agency at exittrip.org.
EXIT Festival will be held 4-7 July 2019 at Petrovaradin Fortress in Novi Sad, Serbia and the first acts have already been announced, including The Cure, Carl Cox, Greta Van Fleet, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Lost Frequencies, Tom Walker, Phil Anselmo & The Illegals, Sofi Tukker, 65daysofstatic, Tarja, The Selecter, Atheist Rap, as well as guitar heroes Arcturus, Entombed A.D, Peter and the Test Tube Babies and Total Chaos.

SEA STAR FESTIVAL - SUPERSTAR DJs AND MEDITERRANEAN POOL PARTIES IN CROATIA
May 24-25 | seastarfestival.com
Acts Announced: Sven Vath, Nina Kraviz, IAMDDB, Illario Alicante, Enrico Sangiuliano, Petar Dundov live, Vojko V, Krankšvester, High5, Fox, DJ Jock, Lawrence Klein, Unique, Hazze, Buntai, Smoke Mardeljano
Sea Star is another coastal dance extravaganza hatched by the experts behind EXIT, so it’s no surprise that it’s been nominated in the Best Medium Sized Festival category in this year’s European Festival Awards – less than two years after its first edition (it was also nominated for Best New Festival last year). Sea Star will return this year to the idyllic Stella Maris lagoon in Umag, Croatia on May 24 and 25, with special opening and closing parties on the 23rd and 26th. With over 70 artists on six stages, from local Balkan heroes to international superstars, Sea Star is an event with high production values in a stunning Mediterranean paradise. And if you need a time-out from dancing, Umag’s historical Baroque and Renaissance buildings and winding streets are a hive of quaint bars and restaurants. Still, it won’t be long before you’re drawn back to the lagoon with that 4/4 pulse nearby… Sea Star festival takes place from May 24-25, with an opening party on May 23 and a closing party on May 26.
SECRET SOLSTICE - GLACIER RAVES AND SURREAL MIDNIGHT SUNSHINE IN ICELAND
June 21-24 | secretsolstice.is
Acts announced: Black Eyed Peas, Robert Plant and the Sensational Spaceshifters, Martin Garrix, Rita Ora, Patti Smith, Morcheeba, The Sugarhill Gang with Grandmaster Melle Mel & Scorpio, Foreign Beggars, Pussy Riot, Kerri, Chandler, MK, Mr.G, Jeremy Underground, Boy Pablo, SMASH TV, ALXJ, Ari Árelíus, Árstíðir, Ása, Auður, BenSöl, Birgir Hákon, Birnir, Captain Syrup, Carla Rose, Chris Hirose, Clint Stewart, ClubDub, Dilivius Lenni, Doctor Victor, Exos, Floni, Grúska Babúska, Hatari, Högni, Ingi Bauer, Joey Christ , Johann Stone, JóiPé & Króli , KrBear, Logi Pedro, Mike The Jacket, Monello, Nitin, Oktavdj, Pink Street Boys, Ragga Holm, Ricoshëi, Rokky, Séra Bjössi , Skaði, Sólstafir, Sprite Zero Klan, Sturla Atlas, Svala, The Vintage Caravan, Una Stef, Vibes, Vök, Vom Feisten, Warmland.
Secret Solstice is all about unique experiences – the most obvious being the fact that the sun doesn’t set for the whole 96 hours, so get used to midnight pool parties in bright sunshine. As well as an eclectic line-up of US, European and local acts, Iceland’s premiere music festival is a bucket list party in the capital Reykjavik during the magical summer solstice. The carbon-neutral festival prides itself on using Iceland’s stunning natural spaces and rugged landscape as a backdrop – while the main stage hosts many of the blockbuster acts, you can literally have an underground vibe, at exclusive raves in a glacier and a 5,000-year-old lava tunnel. Back above ground, catch DJ sets in naturally heated lagoons or at boat parties in the midnight sunshine – and marvel at glistening waterfalls, black sand beaches, caves and vast volcanic fields on special day trips. Secret Solstice is celebrating its fifth anniversary, and 2019 is set to be its biggest edition yet.

For four days every summer, the 17th century Petrovaradin Fortress opens its gates for EXIT – the award-winning music festival in Serbia’s second city, Novi Sad. EXIT began in 2000 as a student protest fighting for political change, and over the years it’s grown into one of Europe’s biggest festivals, with [thousands] partying in the stunning citadel perched high on a cliff overlooking the River Danube. The positive activism remains in the air, and each year has a specific theme (it was ‘Freedom’ in 2018). EXIT has possibly the most diverse line-up of any European festival, with 20 outdoor stages that feature everything from death metal to pop, indie, reggae and techno – among cobbled paths, courtyards, grass verges, ramparts and underground tunnels. The Dance Arena is the festival’s energetic hub, with 20,000 raving in the fortress moat waiting for the awe-inspiring moment when the sun rises above the ancient walls. Many DJs say the Dance Arena is the greatest place in the world to play, and after Nina Kraviz closed EXIT 2018 with an extended set until 9am, she called it “one of the most special places on Earth”.

OFF is a unique boutique festival that values experimentation and diversity above everything else – with founder and organiser Artur Rojek’s hands-on vision an inspiration to ambitious promoters and dreamers worldwide. OFF takes place in ‘Valley of Three Ponds’, Katowice – a beautiful green hideaway in the industrial Silesia region, with a huge choice of bars, restaurants and cultural centres to explore in the city close by. OFF ignores popular trends in favour of an expertly curated programme of esteemed artists – with the festival bringing many acts to Poland for the first time. It was created in 2006 as a way for Rojek to indulge his “dreams and passion for sharing music”, even if that means a black metal band can play next to a techno DJ, a post-punk act, avant-garde noise-rock, hip-hop, jazz, post-rock and beyond. From the greatest international underground heroes to essential forward-thinking Polish artists, OFF is an inspirational meeting of minds.

A Campingflight to Lowlands Paradise is the Netherlands’ most prestigious music festival that’s been a rite of passage for the Dutch since 1993. It takes place in rural Biddinghuizen – only an hour away from Amsterdam, so there’s even a chance to add in a city break either side. It’s a true music, arts and culture weekender, featuring the world’s biggest headliners on the circuit, as well as installations, theatre, comedy, film, debates and even science workshops. Each of the uniquely designed stages are covered so you can party rain or shine, and the iconic ‘Armadillo’ area is the festival’s power station, quirky bars, DJ booths and artisan restaurant areas that surpass regular festival food stalls. The Dutch are world-renowned as expert festival organisers, and Lowlands is a perfect smooth operator, from the intuitive layout to the lack of queues for bars, food and bathrooms – with the best campsite facilities of all the big European festivals. It’s a proper lost weekend too – Lowlands doesn’t do day tickets, so once you arrive on the Thursday you’re on a journey with your fellow happy campers until Sunday. This vibe was picked up by 2018 headliner Nile Rodgers, who posted: “Lowlands was fire! This was an amazing f-ing crowd! Truly insane, and that’s how we like it!”

Evan as a relatively new addition to the festival scene, Sea Dance already has reputation for securing the biggest names in electronic music.

At the 2019 edition many anniversaries were celebrated, European talents praised and both the festival and the conference highlighted diversity and sustainability.

The conference had its home base at De Oosterpoort, hosting a place to network and discuss the latest developments in the music sector for 4.135 international professionals from 44 countries.
Eurosonic, the European showcase festival, took place in 42 venues across the city centre of Groningen, where 342 acts showcased their music to music fans and professionals. Among them were 21 acts from the focus countries Czech Republic and Slovakia.
Noorderslag, which traditionally takes place at Groningen's Oosterpoort on the Saturday of ESNS, showcasing Dutch music with an emphasis on emerging talent.

European Music Awards Night
At the opening night of ESNS, Wednesday, January 16, the Music Moves Europe Talent Awards were presented for the first time at the European Music Awards Night: the European Union's new prize for popular and contemporary music.

In a keynote interview by Eric Corton, Pinkpop director Jan Smeets talked about the 50-year history of the Dutch festival.
In addition to the conference and the festival, ESNS supported initiatives from its partners in the city centre for the first time. Under the name of ESNS EXTRA and ESNS ART, showcases, parties and exhibitions were organized that were often open to people without an ESNS ticket.
Another first was the ESNS Academy, a program specially developed for students to offer young music lovers a glimpse into the (European) music industry. Participants were able to visit the festival and conference for a reduced rate.

SVEN VÄTH, NINA KRAVIZ AND ILARIO ALICANTE FIRST ACTS CONFIRMED FOR SEA STAR FESTIVAL!
Sea Star festival promoted by the team behind globally acclaimed EXIT Festival will have its third edition from May 24 to 25, 2019 in the beautiful seaside town of Umag in Croatia. First acts confirmed for this year's edition is the artist who wrote some of the golden pages of music history and one of techno’s “founding fathers” Sven Väth, along with the absolute leader of today's electronic music, the charismatic and unique Nina Kraviz! While Papa Sven, as he is called by his die-hard fans, is seen as a frontman of European dance music and the uncrowned king of Ibiza whose Cocoon parties have been ongoing for a record-holding 20 years, in the same time no one defines the momentum better than Nina Kraviz, probably the most sought-after DJ of today and absolute headliner of the world’s biggest music festivals. Nina marked EXIT Festival in the last two years, playing the most prestigious closing slot of legendary Dance Arena with tens of thousands of people chanting her name, calling her out to many encores, as if it had been a stadium rock show in a moment not yet seen in electronic music. Alongside Nina and Sven, Sea Star welcomes Ilario Alicante, the winner of the Best Techno DJ award of 2018 at the DJ Awards on Ibiza who made a name for himself as one of the biggest stars of the festival circuit. The next day will be equally exciting on the nearby Nautilus Arena, with Beatport's best selling act in 2016, Enrico Sangiuliano, joined by talented local support such as Croatia's techno mainstay Petar Dundov, and rising stars DJ Jock, Lawrence Klein and Unique.

More Sea Star festival acts will follow soon in a genre-oriented manner, with the next superstar announcement arriving in just a couple of weeks! The festival’s third edition will take place in the breathtaking Stella Maris lagoon, whose 80+ thousand visitors and numerous famous music names have already placed it among the most important festivals in the Mediterranean.
For more than 35 years, the name of Sven Väth has been synonymous with revolution and innovation in electronic music. Some dare say that it would be hard to find someone else whose life work has been more connected to the creation and promotion of an essentially underground sound, as well as its breakthrough to an audience of millions, all this without making compromises. Sven’s vision, starting from his first steps in 1982, through a huge amount of published works and the club revolution on Ibiza, as well as the progressive Cocoon Recordings, has always been the acknowledgement of the positive feeling that dance music brings. This was pointed out when Frankfurt awarded him the Goetheplakette in 2015 for the exceptional contribution to the cultural life of the city. In 2019, a special year which looks back on 20 impressive years of Cocoon Ibiza, the parties that forever modified club culture’s DNA, Papa Sven will create a unique mix at the Stella Maris lagoon with his record players, just as it’s expected at the Sea Star Festival.
There is no one quite like Nina Kraviz, with such dedication and an uncompromising attitude, but above all the courage to constantly push boundaries, curiosity to break new ground, desire to learn and lead by example the global electronic scene with countless titles, one of them being the Mixmag's DJ of the Year! Her sets break up the calm waters of the techno scene with brave musical surprises and artistic risks. This is why both fans and media see Nina as the trendsetter who spearheads the world's DJ scene, her own inimitable way. Following notable sets at the EXIT festival's closings in the past years, as well as numerous headline shows on major festivals, Nina Kraviz is coming to the magical Stella Marris lagoon in the moment when the whole world is watching her every step with enthralled attention. Her unique record label трип recently released it’s 23rd vinyl with artists on the labels including Aphex Twin, Nikita Zabelin, Marc Arcadipane, PTU and many others.
The Italian producer and DJ who is bringing his name to top of the electronic ranks, Ilario Alicante, debuted at the age of 15 and has gone from a music wunderkind to a great and respected act whose tracks have been published and played by greats such as Richie Hawtin, Dubfire or Sven Väth himself. Precicely due to tracks he released through the legendary label Cocoon, Alicante earned the Best Techno Artist award in 2018, while competing against some notable acts such as Alan Fitzpatrick, Amelie Lens, Charlotte De Witte and Nastia. After gracing the stages of festivals like Awakenings and Tomorrowland, as well as numerous Cocoon and Elrow parties, end of May will see him playing at the EXIT's sister festival in Croatia.
The third edition of the Sea Star Festival will be held at the famous Stella Maris lagoon in Umag, on May 24 and 25, with the Welcome Party on May 23 and the closing party on May 26. Tickets for Sea Star festival are available at THIS LINK. Accommodation and travel arrangements can be found at Exit’s official travel agency, ExitTrip’s OFFICIAL WEBSITE.
