Ehohroma

Ehohroma crafts atmospheric, hypnotic soundscapes through field recordings, analog textures, and repetitive structures. His latest release, “Shine Through,” is a live performance recorded at To Pikap in Thessaloniki and was released on cassette by Logarithm in May 2024. A nearly 40-minute-long performance, it moves through darkness and light, reflecting his approach to ambient composition.

Some of his latest performances in 2024 include the Reworks Festival and a concert alongside Darkside at Mylos Area in Thessaloniki. He also curates “Hapax Legomenon,” a residency show on STEGI.RADIO, blending ambient and noise explorations. Soon, he will launch Future Never Comes, an independent platform and record label dedicated to artists who share a common aesthetic and vision.

Viki Steiri

Viki Steiri is a composer, cellist, and interdisciplinary artist working at the intersection of experimental electronic music, free improvisation, and composition for other media. Her debut solo LP “Balm” (2024), featured on BBC3’s “Late Junction” and Philip Sherburne’s “Futurism Restated,” is anchored by ritualistic, monolithic cello layers, electronic percussion, and meditative improvisations in dreamlike succession. Her music embraces fluid and shifting forms that parallel the multiplicities through which one can express themselves authentically. Her live performances explore collective forms of resistance and transcendence through music.

Mr. Clarinet

An avant-gardist, a freak, and a party enthusiast, Mr. Clarinet defines his work as a tower of heavy beats, crazy grooves, and alien soundscapes around them. The explosive power of the tribal wave inside the industrial environment spreads over his twenty releases. With an array of modular synths, samplers, effects, notorious Mr. C will occupy your mind, soul, and body.

AMR

AMR is a sound artist and DJ based in Athens. Her compositions are a blend of drone music with percussive elements bordering on noise. Her DJ sets are eclectic and not confined to any genre.

Iggor Cavalera

Iggor Cavalera (b. September 4, 1970, in Belo Horizonte, Brazil) is a Brazilian musician. Along with older brother Max Cavalera, he is a founding member of the Brazilian thrash metal band Sepultura. Iggor is now the drummer for Cavalera Conspiracy, Soulwax, Petbrick, and other projects. Cavalera is one half of the DJ duo Mixhell, a project he founded with his wife, Laima Leyton, in 2006.

Since 2004, Iggor has been DJing and producing electronic music. As Mixhell, he has toured the globe, performing in festivals such as Glastonbury, Bestival, and Reading. Iggor has been performing live with analog modular gear, drum pads, and visuals for intimate crowds at experimental festivals such as Dio Drone (Florence) and clubs such as Cafe Oto and Iklectik (London). His latest releases include “Aural Manifestations” on Damian Records in America and Deepthroat Records in Europe and “Alucinações Sônicas” on Hospital Productions.

Donato Dozzy

Few DJs and producers are as widely and universally acclaimed in techno circles as Italian Donato Dozzy. He has a rare ability to work his way into people’s minds in both contemporary and classical settings, conjuring real mood and atmosphere. Never one to pay heed to the zeitgeist, he prefers to deal with hypnotic soundscapes that really take you on a trip.

Enigmatic as he is and laidback as he seems, he is constantly unveiling new work as an artist. Displaying a large variation in terms of sound and method across many new releases each year—some of which come on his co-owned label Spazio Disponibile—he also puts out installations for public spaces and museums, uses obscure musical instruments, and collaborates with likeminded producers, classical singers, or visual artists.

Mad Miran

Mad Miran, real name Miran Bel Hanafi (b. May 10, 1996), is a DJ from Almere, currently based in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. She is known for using breakbeats, electro, IDM, and sometimes dipping her toes in minimal techno, acid house, and old-school hip-hop in her sets. She grew up in Almere, the Netherlands.

Aurora Halal

Aurora Halal is a producer, DJ, and creator of Brooklyn’s influential “Mutual Dreaming” party series and the Sustain-Release festival. Shadowy and psychedelic, her hardware live and DJ sets have a hazy sensuality and metallic dance floor intensity that’s at turns playful, dark, euphoric, and emotionally vulnerable. In all her projects, she treats dance music as an arena for transformation and, since 2010, her events have been rooted in an underground, DIY approach that pushes forward-thinking sounds, production, and ideas.
