As the leader of the second wave of announcements, Seasplash Festival is happy to welcome for the first time at the Fort Navigator MC – the veteran of the global jungle movement with more than 30 years of music experience. Navigator is a performer who can command the biggest crowds with his energy on the stage, MC skills, and witty lyrics. He has “lent” his voice to bands like Asian Dub Foundation and Freestylers, and on the Seasplash stage he will be joined by Filip Motovunski, one of the most significant domestic drum and bass, jungle and hip-hop DJs, and a permanent guest of the festival.

Digitron Sound System – the most famous sound system in the region and the first sound system in Croatia, celebrate their 10th birthday this year, and also at the Fort. These Croatian dub pioneers are recognizable by the fierce sound coming out of handmade sound boxes and a mix of different musical directions – from electronics to organic dub music.

A similar path, from the construction of their own sound system to the leaders of the scene in their hometown in Italy, took Italian duo Wicked & Bonny. With no rules in music and with sharp dubs in the digital-analog style, soulful versatile vocals, sirens and live effects they are ideal for summer festivals.

Vojko V, owner of the biggest Croatian rap hit in 2018, and judging by the critics, perhaps the best hip-hop album simply named “Vojko”, arrives at the Seasplash Festival. This rapper and music producer from Split, best known for his work in Dječaci and Kiša Metaka bands, thrills with his unique rap style, sense of humor and interesting song topics.

For over two decades Revelation Sound System promoted conscious music and heavy roots sound with the full spectrum of loudspeakers and bass boxes that you will hear but also feel.

Another domestic-foreign, MC and DJ combination comes in the form of Joe Raygun’s voice, and 207 DJ skills. Joe Raygun is a skilled British dubstep and drum and bass MC, a real lyricist at heart that doses every set he appears on with a string of thought-provoking bars and strictly good vibes. He will be accompanied by 207 from Pula, possibly the tallest dubstep DJ and producer in the world, who is constantly releasing music for big record labels of this genre.

Along with the above mentioned, on the ever-interesting Seasplash list that features a wide range of musical tastes, with emphasis on bass music and sound system culture, arrives yet more than 20 performers, which you can find about more at this link.
