Soundwave Festival is arguably Europe’s leading intimate odyssey, a musical journey and sun-splashed adventure which takes place on the stunning Dalmatian coastline in the town of Tisno. The festival’s ethos is to do things a little bit differently, and each year it has continued to build a renaissance in Croatia unlike many other events in the region, cultivating a crowd who flock from around the world to what is as much a festival as it is a holiday.

The music is provided by the some of the world’s finest exponents of broken beat, reggae, afro to acid jazz, hip-hop, soul, funk, drum and bass, vocalists, rappers and more, and brings a soundscape to the region which is seldom heard, joining so many dots together into a beautiful single whole.

And with some amazing names already announced, Soundwave are very proud to announce three new additions who each bring a different element to the already wonderfully diverse collection of artists performing this August. Drum and bass pioneer LTJ Bukem is one of the UK’s most iconic names, with his Good Looking label embracing the jazzier, more atmospheric side of the scene. And leading the Jungle Revolution is the amazing Congo Natty; the lauded Rebel MC blends African-inspired rhythms and heavy urban beats in his rousing sets. And finally the revered eclectic collective from Berlin, Jazzanova, have been busy producing, composing, arranging, remixing and DJing for many years, continuing to create magic in clubs, the airwaves, their studio and live on stage, with their label Sonar Kollektiv one of Europe’s most respected. They join Pharoahe Monch, Calibre, Mala, Craig Charles, Fatima & The Eglo Band live, Gentleman’s Dub Club, Channel One Sound System, Riot Jazz, Romare, Harleighblu and many more names already announced.

Soundwave also is announcing its boat party schedule, with each show taking place on the legendary sea-dog, The Argonaughty.

Soundwave Croatia – First wave line up announced

June 10, 2020February 9, 2016 by Jane Anderson

Sound-tracked by the some of the world’s finest exponents of broken beat, reggae, afro to acid jazz, hip-hop, soul, funk, drum and bass, vocalists, rappers and more, the festival is a harmonious and beatific odyssey which seamlessly merges a sublime holiday and musical escape like no other. Soundwave is revered for its eclectic range of bookings and its laid back attitude, which come together in an enchanting adventure by the sea, exploring a range of music seldom heard in the Adriatic region. It’s a journey which explores a different path to many of the region’s other festivals, a little more edifying and spiritually enriching, set under the sizzling Croatian sun and star-lit skies.

The headliners for Soundwave have now been revealed. While a member of the New York City duo Organized Konfusion, Pharoahe Monch developed a reputation as one of underground hip-hop's preeminent lyricists, crafting intricate and intelligent raps with partner Prince Poetry. He is also an incisive political and social commentator, using hip-hop as a platform for political engagement. Calibre is responsible for some of the most beautiful and sublime tracks in drum and bass. Releasing on only the most distinguished labels, including his own Signature Recordings, Calibre’s distinctive sound has progressed taking on elements of jazz, funk, dub and techno whilst losing none of its esteemed soul.

Many more great artists join the festival. Digital Mystikz’s Mala returns with a heavy dose of bass-shaking dubstep, whilst one of 6 Music’s lead presenters Craig Charles, a funk and soul DJ and prime instigator of good times, makes a very welcome return. Fatima & The Eglo Band perform live; soul star Fatima has worked with everyone from Floatings Points, Shafiq Husayn (Sa-Ra) and Dam Funk, and the band are drawn from performers from the famed Eglo label. Still on the live side, Gentleman’s Dub Club will deliver their energetic and exhilarating live show, emerging from the UK reggae and bass music scene as its prime exponents. Channel One Sound System have been at the Notting Hill Carnival for over 30 years and are the UK’s most prominent and respected reggae crew; the Red Bull Culture Clash winners are set to bring ground-shaking bass to Tisno.

Back to genre-skipping delights, the Riot Jazz Brass Band bring peace-lovin’ aggro jazz, hip-hop samples, funked-up favourites and re-interpreted dubstep too, dropping drum and bass and dancefloor bangers that always have everyone dancing. Romare sublime cut ’n’ paste style blends Afrocentric beats and global inspirations, encapsulated in his brilliant Projections album; this also translates into bouncing party sets of the highest order. And the incredible voice of Harleighblu is set to enchant, the young singer and songwriter one of the UK’s brightest new names. Clap! Clap! is the project by the Italian producer C. Crisci. His focus is around sampling African tribes, bands and singers, creating tribal rhythms through drum machines and synths. And BAFTA and MOBO award winning artist Akala is a rapper with heart, soul and steel, a historian who brings a touch of lyrical grace and edge to Soundwave.

Rinse FM presenter and DJ Josey Rebelle’s house and techno spans across time and space, venturing into rare groove, soul and garage, and Eglo Record’s boss Alexander Nut brings his richly varied sounds to the festival. Henry Wu hails from 22a Records, a young label which has been causing a real stir. Their beautiful tracks are inspired by luminaries including Roy Ayers and John Coltrane to form jazzy, dubby soulful beats. Further names announced for Soundwave include Dan Shake, Jordan Rakei, Harvey Sutherland, Flo Real (Mahogani Music), Chunky, Werkha, Eva Lazarus, Bambooman, Sarah Williams White, Bobbafat, Gilla, DJ Mylz, Tehbis, Normanton Street, Chiminyo, CC Disco, Taste The Difference, So Fresh So Clean, Plates and Tuckshop.

Soundwave Festival Croatia announce full lineup

June 9, 2020February 25, 2013 by Summer Festival Guide

Bringing together a list of artists to surpass all that has gone before – from stunning live acts to truly talented producers and the very best sound systems – Soundwave Festival Croatia hosts three stages (and a boat) over five days, as revellers are invited to enjoy the finest boutique festival experience in the ultimate sun-drenched location.

Having curated an intelligent selection of acts that sit at the forefront of their genres, Soundwave Festival Croatia is proud to announce it plays host to Bonobo, DOOM (MF DOOM), Quantic live with Ondatropica and Robert Glasper Experiment as their very special guests. Joining them on the bill are Alice Russell, Ghostpoet, Submotion Orchestra, Riot Jazz, Craig Charles, Com Truise and Channel One Sound System and a whole list of others, making a trip to Soundwave a priority stop on the summer music festival calendar.

Soundwave Festival Croatia’s prominent live aspect ensures a veritable feast of first-class performers. Bonobo brings forward-thinking electronica, with a full live band promising an unforgettable experience. His is one of UK electronica’s most enigmatic live shows. Creating a new sound, Quantic live with Ondatropica reinterprets the tropical musical heritage of Columbia; cheerful collision of styles, there’s everything here from cumbia dance to salsa, and the rhythms of gaita, ska, hip hop, dub and, most of all, fun.

MF DOOM is one of the biggest names in hip hop with slick beats, eccentric wordplay and a unique, sample-heavy production style that is recognised the world over. Robert Glasper Experiment explores fusions of jazz and hip hop. Boldly staking out new musical territory, they transcend genres, drawing from jazz, hip-hop, R&B and rock.

Alice Russell – a British favourite and a true talent who has collaborated with the likes of Fatboy Slim and Mr Scruff – ranges from samba-infused Latin with tinges of uplifting jazz and funk to a more laidback, hip hop and soul-inspired sound. Mercury Prize nominee Ghostpoet brings his innovative mix of rap and musicality – exciting things from this singer and producer who promises a new album in the spring. Submotion Orchestra is one of the UK’s most interesting and original outfits; drawing upon dubstep, soul, ambient electronica, jazz and dub, their unique music is atmospheric but firmly rooted.

Channel One Soundsystem add the roots and culture flavour from one of the best soundsystems in the world. Com Truise is a true synth enthusiast – a musician whose striking album ‘Galactic Melt’ received praise across the board. Craig Charles – whose Funk and Soul show on BBC Radio 6 Music has a cult following – brings a soulful vibe.

Anchorsong, Kidkanevil and Kelpe deliver their mind-blowing displays of live electronic music including atmospheric favourites, reinterpreted dubstep and slick hip hop samples. Riot Jazz go big and brass. Eliphino had an amazing year in 2012 dabbling in the UK house and garage sound, which he brings to Soundwave. High-energy DJ sets come from the likes of Tempo Clash favourite Om Unit, underground name Kutmah, the inimitable Flako and Jonny Dub, who will get the party moving as they lay down their experimental beats.

Acclaimed British hip hop producer Mr Thing joins the fray. And quality hip hop productions will be championed by the likes of the hotly tipped New Yorker Homeboy Sandman and Chicago-via-Detroit sample-smith Tall Black Guy. Hoya:Hoya’s Jon K and Illum Sphere make an appearance, as do soul and funk connoisseurs Scrimshire, and futuristic sampler Memory9. Ghostly’s prolific one-to-watch Shigeto brings his ambient and explorational production, and Ninja Tune’s dynamic duo Letherette bring their dreamy beats and unique blend of hip hop, R&B and soulful house live. And there’s lots more.

Soundwave Festival Croatia is the place to let loose, unwind and party to quality hip hop, reggae, soul and funk this summer. Set in a secret cove at the heart of Tisno and right on the Dalmatian Coast of Croatia, The Garden is an utterly beautiful backdrop to one of Europe’s finest boutique festivals. Whether you stay on-site, camp close to the action, or hire an apartment or villa – the site is just a short walk from the small town of Tisno in this idyllic part of Croatia, which sits between Zadar and Split airports.
