ETEP brings up-and-coming European Talent to INmusic Festival #16

Successful INmusic festival and ETEP (European Talent Exchange Programme) cooperation continues to shine a spotlight on rising European stars.

This year, ETEP brings a dynamic selection of three innovative acts to INmusic Festival #16. From a master of cassette manipulation to a band praised by Iggy Pop, ETEP bands promise a captivating showcase of unconventional music. Lenhart Tapes, the solo project of Serbian artist Vladimir Lenhart, pushes the boundaries of music. Using a unique setup of walkmans and cassette tapes, Lenhart crafts a mesmerizing blend of noise, folk, and industrial sounds. This time around, he'll be joined by vocalist Zoja Borovčanin, adding another layer of depth to his already captivating soundscapes. Leatherette, a rising star from Bologna, Italy, already caught the attention of music icon Iggy Pop, who featured their track "Dead Well" on his BBC Radio 6 show. This Italian quintet isn't afraid to push boundaries with their thrilling mix of punk rock energy, jazzy improvisation, and the raw experimentation of no wave. Macedonian six-piece band Lufthansa was formed at the height of the pandemic, and has already released four albums, showcasing their relentless work ethic and dedication to their craft. Their music defies easy categorization, blending elements of noise rock, post-punk, and experimental music.
