DJ Shadow, Khruangbin, Mura Masa, Octavian, Hamilton Leithauser, Hunee, KOKOKO! and more artists are confirmed for Best Kept Secret 2020. They join headliners The Strokes, Massive Attack and The National and more than 50 other artists. The eight edition of Best Kept Secret takes place on June 12-13-14 in Hilvarenbeek in the south of The Netherlands.

DJ Shadow, the pioneering American producer broke through in 1996 with his ground-breaking debut album Endtroducing… and, nearly a quarter of a century later, is still considered one of the most influential artists in his field. Hunee, known from the Amsterdam scene around Rush Hour and De School and his successful album Hunch Music, will play a DJ set straight after Saturday headliner The Strokes. Khruangbin made a big impression at Best Kept Secret two years ago when they played on a packed Stage TWO. The Texan band combine Thai funk, Iranian psychedelic music and many other styles. Up and coming electronica artist Mura Masa has scored hits with ‘Lovesick’ (feat. A$AP Rocky) and ‘Firefly’ (feat. NAO) and he will bring a full live band to Best Kept Secret.  Octavian performs on Friday. The French-British rapper first attracted attention with his mixtapes SPACEMAN and Endorphins and has since collaborated with the likes of A$AP Ferg, Skepta and the aforementioned Mura Masa.

Mute / BMG have announced the long-awaited vinyl reissue of Goldfrapp’s third album, Supernature – out on May 15. The new edition of the album will be available on transparent green vinyl, packaged in a gatefold sleeve with an exclusive art print of the original artwork.

Originally released in August 2005, Supernature marks the point when Goldfrapp brought their sound to an even wider global audience - the Grammy nominated album debuted at #2 in the UK Albums Chart and the album’s lead single, the pulsing, sophisticated, glam-pop dynamo ‘Ooh La La’, went straight to #4 in the UK Singles Chart. The album generated further hits in the form of ‘Number 1’, ‘Ride a White Horse’ and ‘Fly Me Away’.

Described by The Guardian as “a brash, beautiful celebration of love and dancing”, the album is a colossal, multi-layered, sonic-pop thriller, a radical, confident, bold record that took a joyous step forward from 2003’s Black Cherry.

Goldfrapp are on tour in 2020 celebrating the 20th anniversary of their debut album release. Felt Mountain: The 20th Year Tour will see Alison Goldfrapp perform tracks from the album for the first time since its original release in a brand new show featuring lush and intimate takes on classics from across their 20 year career. A remastered deluxe edition of Felt Mountain will follow in autumn 2020.

“We’ll be touring the UK with our band plus a string section for a series of intimate concerts. We haven’t performed many of the Felt Mountain tracks since the original release, so we’re really excited to play this album live, and more, for this significant Goldfrapp anniversary” says Alison Goldfrapp
