KOVACS (NL)
Artist / Musician / Creative Beast
The incredible enigma Kovacs is ready to release new music into the world! Her career has expanded to embrace, art, high fashion, culture, and she weaves these influences into her personal rollercoaster history to create an exuberant technicolor record of joy and pain.
Schedule
The Dutch artist Sharon Kovacs has been making music from an early age inspired by singers such as Betty Davis, Etta James and Tina Turner. In 2014 she released her first EP My Love. Success followed with the singles 'My Love' and 'Diggin' and her debut album Shades Of Black, charted in 36 countries, making the Top Ten in Germany and hitting Number One in her Dutch homeland. Sixty million YouTube views, a modelling contract with Viva Paris, a clutch of awards and high-profile sets at major festivals and a Robbie Williams support slot later. She also won the prestigious EBBA award and performed at festivals such as Glastonbury and Sziget.
Public Memory creates music from corners of the psychic landscape. Gritty atmospherics and damaged synthesizers invoke trip hop, dub, krautrock, and blend with a mixture of electronic and organic percussion, shadowy production + emotive singing.
A38 Ship
Converted from a coal-mining ship, the A38 is easily Budapest's most unique concert venue. The belly of the ship has been home to a wide range of live and electronic music for almost 20 years, and when it's full you can feel the rhythmic movement of the partygoers making waves in the Danube. Foreign acts often refer to it afterwards as their favourite club.
