One of the Poland’s most innovative and exciting electronic music festivals Tauron Nowa Muzyka, which regularly takes a place at the end of August, has just revealed the first names of 2014 line-up. The man behind Innervisions label – Dixon will be leading proceedings along with the legendary German duo, Mouse on Mars. Next to those two names, there will also appear one-third of pioneering label Hessle Audio – Ben UFO, plus 80’s-inspired producer Jackson & His Computerband. Completing this stellar gathering is the hotly tipped experimental R&B songstress Kelela, the mysterious trio Bokka plus Kompakt favourites Terranova and Elekfantz.
Calling home the industrial town of Katowice inPoland, the festival also announced that this year’s event will return to its original home of the Katowice Coalmine after a two-year hiatus. The epic industrial site has undergone extensive refurbishment and has transformed into an electronic music mecca. The old production halls, warehouses, carpentries and the amazing pressure tower prove to be the perfect location to host the biggest names of modern music and the experimental sounds of electronica.
