FRESHWAVE FESTIVAL LINEUP COMPLETED WITH TWO MORE WORLD-RENOWNED NAMES

This year’s edition of the Freshwave Festival has officially completed its artist lineup with the addition of two major names from the global electronic music scene – German live performer Recondite and influential DJ and producer Patrice Bäumel.

With these latest announcements, the festival has rounded off an impressive and genre-diverse lineup of artists set to perform at Kastel Fortress in Banja Luka, confirming Freshwave once again as one of the strongest festival programmes in the region.

German artist Recondite will bring his distinctive and meticulously crafted live performance to Banja Luka, a format that has earned him international recognition. Over the past decade, he has developed a unique sonic signature combining melodic tones, subtle electronic elements and a distinctive atmospheric sound. He is known for releases on influential labels such as Innervisions, Ghostly and his own Plangent Records.

His live performances are widely regarded as emotional musical journeys that are not strictly planned in advance, but instead evolve and adapt directly to the energy and reactions of the audience.

Meanwhile, Patrice Bäumel, one of the most respected figures on Amsterdam’s club scene, is known for his infectious energy and distinctive sound. His releases on prestigious labels including Afterlife, Kompakt and Get Physical regularly feature in the sets of leading international artists, while his performance at Kastel Fortress promises a top-class open-air club experience.
