Station Narva 2023: A Global Fusion of Dance Music and Hidden Gems of Ida-Viru County Await

Get ready for the sixth edition of Station Narva, the ultimate music festival that will take you on a captivating journey through the post-industrial wonders of Ida-Viru County. From September 7th to 10th, this year's event promises to be an exhilarating experience, showcasing an eclectic lineup of musical talents from near and far.

Prepare to be blown away by a diverse range of genres, ranging from ultra-modern alternative RnB to innovative interpretations of ska and grunge, and an enchanting blend of left-field hip-hop, techno, and Arabic pop. The Vaba Lava Narva Blackbox will come alive on September 8th and 9th, uniting the rich heritage of dance music with thrilling future fusions from across the globe.

In an exciting announcement, DJ James Lavelle has been added to the festival's star-studded lineup. For over three decades, Lavelle has been an influential tastemaker and curator, shaping global club culture. As the co-founder of the esteemed left-field hip-hop label Mo' Wax and one-half of UNKLE alongside DJ Shadow, Lavelle has collaborated with industry heavyweights such as Richard Ashcroft, Mike D, Thom Yorke, and Ian Brown. With legendary residencies in London and performances across all inhabited continents, Lavelle was a trailblazer, being among the first DJs to perform in China and Eastern Europe. His contributions include curating the Meltdown Festival lineup and creating the soundtrack for Virgil Abloh's final "Off-White" show at Paris Fashion Week. Notably, Lavelle's artistic journey was beautifully captured in the documentary "The Man From Mo' Wax" by Matthew Jones in 2018.

James Lavelle will join an already impressive lineup featuring the French electronic dance music crew Acid Arab, the sensational Swedish blend of hip-hop and grunge from Deki Alem, the Ukrainian pop star Ivan Dorn, the energetic Dutch ska-rock band Bazzoookas, and talented Estonian RnB and pop acts YASMYN, manna, and IVI.
