FESTIVALS IN ROMANIA

2010 will most probably be remembered as one of the hottest summers of this century at least for the Romanian electronic music scene. These are our favourite festival picks for this year. Wicked line ups assorted with some incredibly beautiful venues make these events a must for anyone that wants to break away from the hot city pressure.

On the other side of Romania – in one of it’s most eastern points – lies the small village of Sfantu Gheorghe, where the Danube meets the Black Sea in one of the wildest and most beautiful settings we ever saw. If you’ll ever get there you will understand why we are so ecstatic when we talk about it. It’s the perfect spot for a summer holiday where you can reconnect with nature, out in the wild on deserted beaches. We’re more than glad Delta Music Fest is revived and brings some of the freshest local artists to play. There’s more in the programme than music and cherry on top – the entrance is free!

Open Fest invites you on 30/31 July to spend a quality time in the west of Romania – close to Arad on a wonderful sandy beach at lake Ghioroc. We’re keeping our fingers crossed as this is the first edition and hopefully a lucky start for the promoters. The line up looks promising and brings together both internationally acclaimed artists and local talent.

Somewhere near Bucharest in an enchanted forest is the place where you will find One Love Festival. Another fine example of an event that doesn’t exclusively rely on blingy headliners and aggressive marketing. It’s all about the love of nature, positive vibrations and genuine human interaction that’s somewhat starting to be hard to find in the big cities. Go and find yourself!

GET OUT celebrates it’s second coming and comes with an extended line up this year. It takes place between 5 and 7 August in a fairytale setting close to Targu Mures. Besides a dreamy line up and the wonderful landscape you’ll have plenty to do in this open air setting that lays in the heart of Transylvania and preserves a true mystic vibe.

All aboard!

In case you were wondering why we’ve been so quiet lately – you have the answer above. We’ve been giving a helping hand to Skunk Predatorz to make the most of this year’s edition.

Summer Break Festival is round the corner as we speak and this year looks hotter than ever! It takes place in a new venue, which is bigger and looks better than the previous two.

We’re talking about the 5 hectares park of  Gyulay Ferenc Castle which will host the Summer Break village.

You don’t have any excuse to miss the three days of fun in the sun and bass in yo’ face – starting Thursday 8 July and ending on late Sunday afternoon.

There are two stages summing up more than 50 kW of power and 40 artists that will pop out your earwax and mash up your brain cells. Main Stage is bringing some of the hottest and most wanted international acts with support from the local villains while Wonderground Stage will showcase a tight selection of some of the freshest up and coming local talent, backed up by some of the scene’s veterans.

We’re proud some of the HD Music artists will represent! Thursday, Mesmer and MOFO are blessing the decks, among other fine young lads at Wonderground Stage. Friday, same spot,  sees the Galaxi bass assault squad – Pake & LMK and Radio Space Pop’s ethereal frequencies while Keywords shakes the Main Stage at sunrise. Saturday it’s Readymate’s turn to twiddle with the knobs at Wonderground Stage and showcase some of his latest tunes.

Here’s some free ear candy from the boyz we’ve been talking about.

April Fools Day or not we ain’t kiddin’! This month HD Music features the talent of LMK (Galati, Romania) and his trademark grimey – techy take on dubstep. Showcasing tunes from his new EP which is ready to drop in mid April and a healthy slab of own productions and remixes – we’re predicting a bright future for this young lad if he keeps it up.

He started to make music around 2006 under the guidance of his older brother who’s a renowned prog house producer with many international releases. In the beginning he experimented with different tempos and styles, from prog house to drumandbass and managed to gradually define his trademark sound which is a grimey cross between dubstep and techno. In 2009 HD Music released Blaze A Lot an EP co-produced with old time friend and crew member Pake.

The recently rebranded Hazee aka Keywords is gonna represent our little camp this weekend in a short, fast and bassline serious tour.

Kicking off in Bucharest this friday (19 February) the event starts at 23:00 and is hosted by the little and cosy sister of Expirat – Other Side. It’s gonna be a night-long set so get ready for many styles and mashups. The venue is a regular for artists like Infamous (Seb & TRG), Marika, Gojira and also had foreign guests like Atomic Hooligan, Elite Force or General Midi. The party starts Wednesday with the long running series of Selectro and finishes Monday morning. All genres are welcome and ocassionally there are also live shows. One thing is for sure – you can’t leave this place sober, unless you’re a monk!

Saturday it’s Cluj Napoca’s turn to shake. Hosted by our friends from Eastern Block Events in the La Tevi Pub (Cluj Napoca) with a solid line up that promises to resonate on different funky and nasty frequencies along the bass music spectrum.

Keep your ears clean and your muscles flexed!
