From studio sessions with Kendrick Lamar and Travis Scott to the OFF Festival: James Blake joins a host of exciting artists in our latest lineup announcement.
They’ve called him too melodic for dubstep, too modern for folk. While music journalists have struggled to pigeonhole James Blake, artists like Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, Beyoncé, Frank Ocean, Travis Scott, and Rosalía prize his talent as a collaborator, singer, and producer. The multiple Grammy-award nominee and two-time winner (including for Best Rap Song, co-produced for Killer Mike) has his own niche, one filled with an extraordinary sensibility and superb electronic sounds. Blake’s 2023 album Playing Robots Into Heaven marks a return to his club roots, delivering a breathtaking blend of dubstep, house, techno, and ambient. He joins the 2025 OFF lineup as one of the most singular and inspiring artists on the scene today.
Idolized by fans of cloud rap and experimental pop, Sweden’s Ecco2k has also garnered praise for his forays into film, fashion, and photography. The multitalented artist debuted in show business at the young age of 16, when he launched his own clothing brand. Today, the founder of the critically acclaimed cloud-rap crew Drain Gang is a genre-bending solo artist working at the crossroads of music and the visual arts. Audiences have described his live performances as a can’t-miss experience. Take their advice: this is one OFF Festival show you won’t want to skip.
“If this summer was defined by Charli XCX’s hedonistic Brat, then we’re entering Manning Fireworks fall,” writes Stereogum. Rolling Stone calls him one of the “great poets of sad-sackery,” alongside none other than Neil Young, while the New Yorker hails him as “the next great hope for indie rock.” With a handful of well-received solo albums under his belt, the Wednesday veteran MJ Lenderman, born in 1999, has earned the moniker of a young master of storytelling, and he’s coming to the OFF Festival for his first-ever performance in Poland.
Asked to describe her music, Nala Sinephro says, “I close my eyes and process the emotions I feel without needing to say anything.” Music journalists have debated whether to call the her work spiritual jazz or a unique form of electronic music. Instead of deconstructing her style, we recommend simply immersing yourself in her therapeutic sounds – literally: the London-based Belgian-Caribbean, signed to Warp Records, says playing the harp is a form of therapy, and invites listeners to join in. The mystical and meditative qualities of her compositions are the result of collaborative efforts with a list of artists that includes Ezra Collective sax player James Mollison, Kokoroko frontwoman Sheila Maurice-Grey, and Black Midi drummer Morgan Simpson. Experience the healing sounds for yourself at the OFF Festival.
