proto tip
+ The soundache for simplicity like an inner monologue, Proto tip with meditative urban quality, there's a musical tug-of-war between sorrow and battered determination, and a melancholic ambition that distances the spirit from their places, in a mournful ode to the culture they've longed to touch. An idyllic getaway that manages to softly pull you in while grounding and even stabilizing with well-tested strengths for subtlety and complexity.
Nevaspitani
+ Shifting in mood from high-octane, fist-pumping ecstasy to a more innocent sensuality while also channeling radical queerness and genre-blurring musical promiscuity and giving a tortured, bodily voice that’s a thrill to listen to.
Nemeček
/Croatia/+Nemeček's path is generally too meandering to clarify and reconstruct threat, truth, or chaos. It is not self-satisfaction or suffering, emotion or desire, but a long-awaited meta-image without time burden - an absolute lens, a sensual narrative without dominance over space easily given over to the pressure of destruction and progress in new normality - zero reality.
Mladabeba & Jymenik
+ Versatility that truly sets them apart and never stops for breath. Then the lights slowly dim as they aim straight for your heart and soak their way into your psyche. Ever-evolving, explorative poets, artists, and musicians Mladabeba & Jymenik are multifaceted performers, powerful, seductive, and enthralling. They craft a sound and energy that is sincerely theirs, based on authentic mystical emotions, a twisted and delicate fusion of hip trap, R&B, pop, and soul, unbridled in its approach to muddling sounds together. The show delivers with such rawness and transparency that listeners can connect with the artist – right at the emotion!
The Homesick
/Netherlands/+ The ever-metamorphosing and high-energy barnstormers the Homesick is an odd entrancing witches’ drink, a soaring pop symphonic swell of crackling with earsplitting between the chaotic pomp and spirit fantasy. Sprawling-dangerous representation of the extravaganza!
