Gekleurd Glas

Gekleurd Glas is a Brussels-based trio (Luc Bersier, Areti Chourdaki, Clyde Arcalis) experimenting with rock and its deviant subgenres.

Their music derails with precision, balancing tension and intoxication.

​

Khadija Al Hanafi

For a producer fascinated by the sound of ’70s soul records, Tunisia’s Khadija al Hanafi crafts footwork that distinctly reflect the fragmented feeling of being alive and online in the present.

Mia Koden & Warrior Queen

Mia Koden aka Sancha Ndeko (she/her) is a South London-based South Sudanese and British music producer and DJ. Initially growing up in Ghana and Nigeria soundtracked by her parents' lively stash of music from across the African continent and beyond, her formative years back in the UK had frequent soundsystem pilgrimages to spaces where roots reggae, drum & bass and dubstep could be heard. 

Warrior Queen (born Annette Henry) is a singer, DJ & writer from Kingston, Jamaica. She has worked with various artists such as Penthouse Music in Jamaica, Croydon-based dubstep producer Skream and toxic dancehall artist The Bug.

​

Nídia & Valentina

Nídia is an internationally acclaimed Afro-Portuguese electronic producer and DJ, based out of Vale da Amoreira, south bank of River Tagus, across from Lisbon. As part of the Príncipe Discos record label and artistic collective, she has been having a decisive role, both as an individual artist and as within the community, in bringing inspiringly progressive aesthetics and ethics to the contemporary alternative dance infrastructure across the globe, and the kuduro culture in particular.

‍Valentina Magaletti is a drummer-composer and multi-instrumentalist with an inventive approach to drums and percussion. Her versatile technique, which can incorporate anything from vibes and marimba to contact microphones and found objects, results in a style that is forever evolving. Feeling just as comfortable performing behind a delicate ceramic kit as she does hammering out motorik rhythms, her creative take on percussion has resulted in a diverse discography and many interesting collaborations.

nykolaes & Daniël Paul

nykolaes and Daniël Paul are both born and raised in the fields before moving to Brussels. Next to being collaborative artists they are roommates. With their ‘living’ songs - made in their ‘living’-room, as well as continuously changing and alive - they have found a new way of capturing the emotional and pure.

They bring soft-spoken songs that combine guitar and electronic elements with a soft vocal performance, sometimes autotuned, sometimes out of tune.

A motivating force within this journey is the scatter-brained pace of the internet, with its twitching and breathing impulses which make you long for a simpler past far gone or perhaps ahead. As such these songs are ‘neofolk’, breaking the boundaries between the authentic and the contemporary, the visceral and the offbeat. Expect weird pop, upside-down folk, emotional texts in Dutch and English. Someone on a guitar crying. Lambs on a screen. Grass underneath your feet. Sun in your eyes.

​

Smerz

Smerz are the Norwegian duo of Henriette Motzfeldt and Catharina Stoltenberg.

‍Known for the 'carefully shaped, deconstructed pop' (Boomkat), Smerz seamlessly weave together techniques and sounds pulled from chamber and classical music, hip hop, R&B, and hard electronics, with the end product always resulting in something altogether uncanny.

​

After a run of releases for London's XL Recordings in 2017, their full length debut ‘Believer’ was recently released, combining their love of Norwegian traditional music with the gauzy imagery of filmmaker Peter Greenaway and blurring the line between dream and reality. The album was put together in an attempt to cement the ideas Motzfeldt and Stoltenberg had been working through on their monthly NTS shows, where they regularly pull together musical forms with expressionistic ease, defying simplistic categorisation.

Tikiman & Richard Akingbehin

Paul St Hilaire AKA Tikiman is the original voice of dub techno, pioneering the genre together with Mark Ernestus and Moritz von Oswald as Rhythm & Sound. Over the years since, he has voiced classic records from the likes of Larry Heard, Modeselektor, The Bug or Deadbeat, while also self-producing albums of his own unique take on dub, reggae and electronic music.

​

In 2023, he signed to British-Nigerian DJ Richard Akingbehin’s label Kynant Records for his first solo album in 20 years, Tikiman Vol. 1. Now, St. Hilaire and Akingbehin are close collaborators, performing their hybrid set at clubs and festivals across Europe.

Powder

Like when a scenery pops up on the corner when you are driving a car, even if you don’t see anything over the corner, it doesn’t mean there is nothing over there. Powder seemed to suddenly come up in sight, but the truth is being just a little bit ahead of a curvy road we drive. Perhaps, still keeping distance quite a bit, sometimes you think you see, but it’s just sprinkles of existence and impression left in the air.

Her track can be described as minimal, floaty, fanny ... which all tends to be used up terms. Although, it’s hard to find a new word for it, any word seemed to fit in with association with something leftfield.
