Returning for its 8th season in Croatia, Outlook Festival has just announced its second wave of artists for 2015. Taking over the stunning Fort Punta Christo this September 3rd - 6th, the new names add even more scintillating depth to an already majestic event. Uniting the very best performers across dub, reggae, hip-hop, drum & bass, garage, grime, dubstep, house, techno and electronica, Outlook is a hand-picked curation of the world’s taste-making icons and music and cultural pioneers.
Madlib is a true living legend, a critically acclaimed hip-hop DJ, producer, MC and collaborator. The idea of The Madlib Carnival was born with his team, and together they and Outlook have curated a lineup featuring some of Madlib's favourite producers and DJs – Pete Rock, J Rocc and Moodymann - across an arena for a full 10 hours.
Over on the house and techno tip, Outlook, as always, serves up some brilliant artists. Leaders of the UK underground and BBC Essential Mix of the Year contenders Dusky grace the festival, and Lone brings his lauded techno and house to Outlook. Radio 1’s Toddla T brings further genre-spanning sounds to Outlook, with plenty of bass, bounce and party vibes from around the world. Legend and pioneer of good times, Norman Jay MBE brings some party-time funk to Croatia.
Shy FX leads the drum & bass charge, with the amazing Congo Natty feat. Congo Dubz and Tenor Fly bringing the jungle vibes. Loefah, along with his partners, Mala and Coki have dubstep on lock, and heavyweight crew the Newham Generals – aka D Double E, Footsie and DJ MS1 – bring crowd-rocking grime. Shogun Records’ founder Icicle brings Entropy LIVE to Outlook, and will have Fort Punta Christo shaking with his high-octane, relentless drum and bass.
Seminal dubstep DJ and producer Hatcha joins Artful Dodger who bring their 2-step garage to the festival too, huge crowd pleasers each time they perform. Canadian trio BADBADNOTGOOD bring their spellbinding retro fusion to Croatia, and bright talent Kate Tempest adds a brand new edge to Outlook. Soulection’s eclectic parties which have elevated them higher into the underground’s echelons; the collective’s members Sango, Mr Carmack, Jay Prince, Pyrmdplaza and Hannah Faith will all take Outlook to a different level.
