Valentina Magaletti & Nidia

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.

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

Shackleton & Scotch Rolex

Scotch Rolex and Shackleton are two of electronic music’s most free-spirited mavericks. Scotch Rolex, an alias of DJ Scotch Egg, is best known for his work with Kampala-based artists MC Yallah and DUMA’s Lord Spikeheart. With releases on Nyege Nyege’s Hakuna Kulala label, Rolex draws on dancehall, trap, Japanese traditional music, gabber, grindcore, gqom, and kuduro to unique and exciting effects. Meanwhile, the founder of Skull Disco, Shackleton, has been carving out his brand of bass-heavy, esoteric ritual trance music for the best part of two decades on labels such as Honest Jon’s, Hot Flush, and Perlon. This live project combines the surrealist punk ethos of Scotch Rolex and the bass-heavy psychedelia of Shackleton, resulting in a wild ride full of unpredictable changes, incorporating odd time signatures, cosmic synth freak-outs, and dubbed-out space vibrations, which work equally well on the dance floor or in a concert setting.

Alessandro Cortini

Alessandro Cortini is an Italian musician, producer, composer, and musical instrument builder. Cortini is one of the foremost figures of contemporary electronic music, best known for his haunting, atmospheric work. Next to his career as a longstanding member of Nine Inch Nails, he is highly prolific and has released a steady stream of his own heady music on luminary labels, including Mute, Hospital, and Important Records, in the past decade. Throughout his shadowy rise to fame, he has collaborated with the likes of Lawrence English, Daniel Avery, and Merzbow (to name a few). Balancing dark ambiance with smokey, pulsing rhythms, his compositions are perfectly restrained, textured, and mesmeric. Cortini was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2020 for his work with Nine Inch Nails, making history as the only Italian musician ever honored with this recognition.

Marios Visvikis

Marios Visvikis is a musician, composer, and musical instrument builder based in Athens, Greece. He builds many conventional and unconventional acoustic musical instruments, which he uses in his recordings and performances. He is the owner of ARMONIA, a brand with musical instruments for meditation and sound healing. In 2015, he released the album “Music for Jaw Harp,” which he presented live in collaboration with fellow musician Panos Tsigkos around Greece and Europe. In 2023, he released his second solo album, “Handmade Oscillators.” He has also released works under the aliases Super Mario, Super Mario and the Exotic Watermelons, and Zaira Effect.

Laraaji & Arji OceAnanda

Laraaji is a composer and multi-instrumentalist who honed a unique musical sound with his experimental electric zither on the sidewalks, plazas, and festival stages of New York in the late 1970s. He now tours worldwide as a popular new age ambient musician recording artist, having released many solo and collaboration music projects (“Celestial Vibration,” “Day of Radiance,” “Bring on the Sun,” “Vision Songs Vol. 1,” “Arrive without Leaving”).

Arji OceAnanda (Arjhiroula Kakouros) is a sound-healing musician, reiki master, and dream teacher whose work is motivated by her Hellenic roots. Since 2008, she has performed gentle percussion and iPad synth with Laraaji in many shows worldwide. Her work with sound and reiki as healing forces makes for a uniquely soothing uplifting sonic collaboration.
