DENOVALI SWINGFEST 2014 / EXPERIMENTAL MUSIC FESTIVAL / 4 days in the city of Essen, Germany

Due October 2nd-5th 2014 for 4 days in the city of Essen, Germany

After already two very successful festival editions in Berlin and London earlier this year, we’re turning back to our home edition in the city Of Essen/Germany with a 4-day-festival in the first weekend of October 2014 featuring Ben Frost, James Holden, Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra, Oval, The Haxan Cloak, Demdike Stare, Hauschka, Bohren und der Club of Gore, Greg Haines, Rafael Anton Irrisari and more. We’re more than happy to share the full Line-Up of the 2014 Denovali Swingfest Essen edition with you.

Mainly conceived as a label festival, we have invited guest musicians, who represent our musical context and influence, right from the beginning of the first festival in 2007. Not limited to one musical genre, Denovali Swingfest offers a diverse range of music styles from darker experimental sounds, ambient, drone, indie and electronica to dark jazz, jazz or piano and string driven modern compositions.

The festival again takes place on 4 days (October 2nd until October 5th 2014) at the wonderful Wetstadt Halle. This year’s edition will feature 21 artists on the regular days and a piano pre-event with 2 artists on Thursday October 2nd. Their sets will as always be as long as a proper club concert (around an hour). The ticket preorder has already started. A free festival download sampler is planned to be available a couple of weeks before the festival starts.
Presented by COOLIBRI, DIGITAL IN BERLIN, GROOVE, INTRO, JAZZTHING, K.WEST and SPEX
