On June 27th, Wrocław's club scene will gain a new, distinctive focal point. This event is designed for an informed, discerning audience seeking more than just entertainment. By focusing on uncompromising, top-quality sound, the festival fills a significant gap in Lower Silesia's cultural landscape. WROCLOVE DEEP HOUSE FESTIVAL 2026 is for those seeking a fresh perspective on electronic events, where every sonic and visual detail has its own profound justification.
A key element of the festival's identity is its unique location. The event will take place at Wrocław's Pergola, which, along with the monumental Centennial Hall, forms a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It's a space where Max Berg's visionary architecture and the austerity of concrete engage in dialogue with the open air and the element of water. This fascinating contrast will provide the perfect backdrop for the organic textures of deep house. The architectural order and mathematical precision of modernism will collide with the hypnotic fluidity of sound, giving the event a unique, industrial-outdoor character, unrivaled anywhere else in the country.
The festival consciously forgoes the formula of mass, hyper-commercial events in favor of building an immersive audiovisual experience. The organizers prioritized what is fundamental to club culture: crystal-clear and selective sound, precisely tuned to the demanding acoustics of the open, modern space. The overall effect will be culminated in a minimalist, futuristic visual setting. Instead of flashy effects, the focus is on a subtle play of light, designed to highlight the beauty of the historic architecture, creating a cohesive narrative that combines historical heritage with modern technology.
The festival program is a curated overview of the finest in the Deep House genre. The lineup focuses on artists capable of crafting hours-long, narrative sets—full of spatial motifs, pulsating bass, and nuanced sonic details. This is music created to celebrate the moment, fostering both introspection and the communal experience of dancing under the stars. WROCLOVE DEEP HOUSE FESTIVAL 2026 is the ultimate proof that contemporary electronic culture and the city's historic fabric can coexist, creating a new, inextricable, and inspiring quality.
TINLICKER
For over a decade, the Dutch band Tinlicker has consistently and uncompromisingly pushed the boundaries of electronic music, cultivating a sound that is both utterly unique and deeply personal. The band's brilliant interweaving of live instruments—from strings and keyboards to expressive brass sections—has long since become a powerful hallmark. This effectively distinguishes their sublime sound from traditional, conventional dance projects. Beyond their exceptional instrumentation, their music possesses the powerful power to evoke a truly diverse range of emotions—captivating listeners from extreme melancholy to absolute euphoria. This is undoubtedly music made for dancing, but it also weaves an incredibly compelling and captivating story.
Following the spectacular, massive success of their 2021 single "Because You Move Me" (currently boasting over a billion streams across streaming services!), the band didn't rest on their laurels, opting for radical steps. They ended their relationship with their longtime label, Anjunadeep, and forged a fruitful partnership with [PIAS], undergoing a further transformation in their format—from playing exclusively DJ sets to live concerts with a powerful live band. These were incredibly bold, risky, yet perfectly calculated decisions. They proved essential to realizing the grand artistic vision of the phenomenal album "Cold Enough For Snow," which was coming in 2024. This meticulously crafted LP quickly achieved masterpiece status, becoming a perfect example of their absolute mastery of striking a balance between uncompromising innovation and the highest, world-class quality. What immediately catches the eye about "Cold Enough For Snow" is its captivating, even stunning, stylistic diversity. The tracklist ranges from highly melodic compositions and captivating indie-electronic productions ("This Life" and "Nothing To Lose") to much harder, club-friendly hits that touch on darker techno notes, such as the powerful "Blowfish" and the unapologetic "Revolution." The album also contains gems—like "Strawberry"—which deliberately eschews the monotonous four-on-the-floor beats typical of dance music. The band produced this epic work by joining forces in the recording studio in collaboration with the prestigious Metropole Orkest, a renowned Dutch orchestra specializing in jazz and pop music. Together, the musicians created a historic performance, performing at the acclaimed opening of the ADE industry event at the end of 2023. Fresh off the release of the highly anticipated "Cold Enough For Snow," the indefatigable Tinlicker hit the road with a bang, electrifying crowds with live concerts across Europe and North America, and being invited to headline major festivals like Pinkpop, the legendary Sziget, California's famed Coachella, South Facing, and the prestigious Portola Festival.
In the spring of 2025, the group's full live lineup formally expanded with the addition of a unique, fresh addition: the charismatic Hero Baldwin, who, as a regular collaborator, enriches the trio's sound as a full-fledged member, supporting them musically both in live concerts and in studio sessions. The band also presented fresh, exciting material, releasing the catchy lead single "I Want Your Freedom," which symbolically and definitively launched their fourth, highly promising new album cycle. At the same time, they announced a long list of new performances as a band, supported by live music, in the near future. As pioneers, the phenomenal Tinlicker project once again leaves no room for doubt, clearly and emphatically declaring: music recognizes and refuses to accept any limitations. The band emerges and persists wherever they persistently and successfully push artistic horizons forward in the name of broadly defined art and the love of creating music, pursuing without compromise only the impulses of their own authentic musical fascination, instead of trivially seeking so-called shortcuts by self-preservingly blending in and adapting to the crowd of market mediocrity, choosing the safe path of popularity on the wave of fleeting, mass consumption. As one of the trio's leading musicians once openly stated, "We firmly do not recognize safe comfort zones or an overly cautious lifestyle." And when it comes to composing innovative music, they have only one decisive artistic condition for this: "there is only one rule: it must first and foremost appeal to us."
MARSH
Some artists exude a complete and uncompromising passion for their craft.

This intense emotional investment and complete dedication to his art, his fans, and his culture defines Marsh and remains constant in everything he does. And in everything he plans to create.
NILS HOFFMANN
Hailing from Berlin and shaped by German culture and electronic music, Nils Hoffmann has always found deep solace in music. A classically trained pianist, he grew up listening to producers like Paul Kalkbrenner and Trentemoller, which pushed and inspired him to create melodic, deep, and progressive house. Today, as one of the most exciting and promising electronic music artists in the world, Nils aims to live up to his idols and lead a new generation of producers and live performers.
To date, this 28-year-old artist has amassed over 100 million streams across all streaming platforms. In 2022, his second album, "A Radiant Sign," was released on the renowned Anjunadeep label.

WARUNG
Warung is the musical duo of Aaron Hopkins and Dillon Ames, who abandoned their solo careers to create electronic music inspired by Balinese culture and the ethos of local, family-oriented communities. The project has been developing rapidly for seven years, earning recognition from prestigious labels such as Anjunadeep, Armada, and Shen. Their biggest hit, "Illusive," made Beatport history, occupying the number one spot in the Breaks category for a record six months. The band regularly performs on major stages worldwide, including the anniversary ABGT 500 in Los Angeles, New York's Anjunadeep Open Air, and Albania's The Explorations Festival.

Despite their global success, Warung consistently cultivates their organic identity and spiritual depth, never slowing down in building a unique brand on the map of modern popular culture.
RESIDENT
In house, electro, techno—or dance music in general—there's that unique, magical point where a song can equally heat up a smoky dance floor and serve as a repetitive, spiritual mantra, blurring the unusual line between pure fun and musical therapy. Rezident, the project of rising 26-year-old producer David Roif from Karlsruhe (in the German region of Baden-Württemberg), is undeniable proof that electronic music works best when these two seemingly distinct worlds intertwine. Drawing heavily on the work of Deadmau5 during their adolescence and learning from progressive music masters like the brilliant duo Bicep, Rezident is rapidly gaining enormous momentum toward 2025.
Like many of his peers growing up in the tech boom of the early 2010s, Rezident began his journey downloading various music programs onto his laptop at the age of just 12. His passion was sparked by a ringtone on a classic Nokia cell phone, created by his sister's friend. It was in the privacy of his room that he mastered key production techniques, such as mastering sound layering, streamlining the creative process, and the valuable art of gaining distance from a song while working. Today, his intimate yet ever-expanding discography is a phenomenal interweaving of reverb, beautiful chords, and strong deep house accents. They seamlessly fade in and out, then suddenly sharp, decisive hi-hats and intermittent whistling flawlessly break this etherealness. Such practices reflect Rezident's deep pursuit of an even more minimalist, utterly honest approach to production—a stark contrast to his early, "commercial" school of beatmaking. Now the young artist has full confidence in himself and the unique vision he has developed for his project.
