Magnetic Man, Disclosure and Com Truise to Burn Selector Festival 2012!

Burn Selector Festival

Burn Selector Festival: the centre of urban space, electronica and dance, new music trends, multimedia arts, music enriched with intriguing visual forms, avant – garde spatial instalations. In other words: best contemporary music and multimedia. The festival mixes smoothly into the scenic city of Krakow. Hop in to Poland for a Bank Holiday weekend unlike any other.

2012 – first announced artists: this year’s line-up opens with three strong names, no doubt cherished by all electronica fans, with many more to come

Magnetic Man

If we now experience a breakthrough of dubstep to stages worldwide, it is thanks to Magnetic Man. Skream, Benga and Artwork opened the door to low tones and pumping bass adding a touch of trance and vocals to turn club bangers into songs. It is not just because of their music, but also thanks to the choice of guest singers: Katy B, Ms. Dynamite, John Legend. “Dubstep is the biggest progression in music in the last five years,” says Skream, and they surely know best.

Disclosure

Brothers Guy and Howard Lawrence from Disclosure are taking the musical scene by storm, getting to the position occupied in the 90s by another brotherly duo – Orbital. On the first anniversary of Oasis' break-up (with no logical connection), they released their debut single „Offline Dexterity”. Their remixes include Crystal Fighters and Everything Everything. This is the sound of young London, very young, as brought to you by a 17- and a 20-year-old

 Com Truise

Apparently, not everyone wants to be the “Top Gun” star. All Seth Haley needs is a synthesizer. His roots in the 80s, he admits to be inspired by Joy Division and Cocteau Twins, while his production gives the music a hint of Xbox sound. He just released his debut LP “Galactic Melt” and is sharing his current mixtapes under the name Komputer Cast, paying homage to the 80s synth wave now rediscovered by the new generation.
