Five acts to see at Lovebox

For anyone with a slight leaning towards electronic music, Lovebox is an essential calling point for your summer travels. By carefully selecting a crop of leading beat makers and artists, the East London festival forms a pool of eclecticism for revellers to submerse themselves in throughout a weekend in July. 

For those of you not drawn to a particular genre, we've manoeuvred through the festival programme to assist your Lovebox itinerary, and picked out five acts we recommend you should take in at London's Victoria Park. 

Bonobo DJ set 

By simply studying the footage of his live show at Alexandra Palace above, you'll get a sense of the sheer tranquillity that oozes through one of Bonobo's sets. Majestic behind the controls, the producer's name lies at the purest point of eclecticism with records like last year's Flashlight EP. He'll provide the optimum festival tonic, for losing yourself in the moment and detaching yourself from the outside world. 

Howling Live

For any self respecting fan of electronic music, you'll be vastly aware of Âme's awe inspiring abilities. More to the point, Howling is the side project of Ame's Frank Wiedemann, who links up with Australian singer/songwriter RY X. For the majority, this will be the first chance to catch them in the flesh, and judging from their debut album Sacred Ground that brought 'Stole The Night' above, it has the makings of something special.

Novelist

Veering away from electronic music for a minute, Novelist has arguably been the cream of the crop in the resurgence of grime music this year. Providing a fresh of breathe air with sharp and witty lyricism that comfortably rivals any of his peers, he's sharp emerging as a serious contender for Boy Better Know's title. Captured by XL Recordings, his best work was formed with Mumdance, evidenced with '1 sec' above. 

Mark Ronson DJ set

Glorified producer and superstar DJ, Mark Ronson has took 2015 by storm. Having worked with some of the biggest names on the planet, the time is now for Ronson to steal the limelight and we're certain that he'll grab this festival season by the balls.

The past few months have provided us with his most stellar works, including 'Uptown Funk' and his remix of Duke Dumont's 'The Giver' above, with both going hand in hand with the coveted festival groove.  

Nils Frahm Live

Mining the pits of unadulterated hedonism with his contemporary take on piano, Nils Frahm has carved himself out a niche that unites neo-classicism and electronic music. His exhilarating live sets are meticulously crafted to delight and excite minds, a concoction displayed in his KEXP performance below, that'll translate seamlessly to a forward thinking festival crowd.
