The Electronic Beats Fall Festival got off with a bang with the first festival in Podgorica in Montenegro (read here more news about Podgorica). Some of the acts in the lineup were Disclosure, Mount Kimbie, and Retro Stefson.

The event was staged in a small sports stadium with not so great weather as there were a few rain showers.

Retro Stefson opened the concert with high energy from the eight-piece synth-pop group presenting music from their latest self-titled album which was released earlier this year.

Mount Kimbie, who also released their second album earlier this year, and are currently on tour in Europe and the USA, contributed to an already party atmosphere with soundtrack from the musical duo of Dominic Maker and Kai Campos out of London.

The sibling pair of Guy and Howard Lawrence, otherwise known as Disclosure, had a good-sized crowd by the time they took to the stage. Still only a few months after they released their debut album, the pair were eagerly awaited by the soaking-wet Podgorica crowd.

The Electronic Beats Fall series will continue with concerts in Zagreb, Croatia and Dresden, Germany later this year.

Also on the line up will be German Deep House DJ and Producer Fritz Kalkbrenner from out of Berlin. Fritz is brother to Paul and he will bring with him a blend of soul, hip-hop, and techno music.

The brothers worked on the music for the film “Berlin Calling” back in 2008. His last single releases were Little by Little and Get A Life from 2012.

The up-and-coming Dena also performs and comes highly recommended with an older groove with a mix of 90’s beat R&B and a more modern groove.

The final act planned for the evening is MS MR from New York City. Electronic Beats stages a series of live concerts, club nights, and festivals across Europe.
