]]> Berlin-based duo 505, formed by guitarist Daniel Calvi and electronic artist Mattia Prete, crafts a sonic landscape where electronica, jazz, and trip-hop converge. After a defining year at Montreux Jazz, Fusion, and Garbicz Festival, they are set to release their independent debut album, “True at First Light”, on February 27th, 2026.

Their sound pulses with deep rhythms and dreamlike atmospheres, driven by a collaborative philosophy that invites European musicians to shape each live show into a unique experience. Following the release, 505 will tour Japan in March before returning to Europe for an extensive run of concerts, including a live show at Privat club Berlin on May 21st.

Combining cinematic storytelling with raw energy, 505 continues to transcend genre boundaries through ongoing sonic experimentation.

Some describe it as “Tame Impala in Blade Runner mode,” others as “otherworldly and intense.”

“Could be a major breakthrough this year” — Wonderland

Lucy Dreams call their self-invented genre SonicWaveArtPop. Their accompanying manifesto was released as a concept LP and presented within an atmospheric live show: “Insider tip for concert of the year” — Volume

On stage, they shift between intimate moments and driving tempos — moody, playful, detail-oriented, and always a little surprising.

Their album Saudade was shaped along Portugal’s Fishermen’s Trail and marks a new creative chapter: bolder, more physical, yet deeply emotional. Since forming in 2017, 𝒗𝒊𝒂𝒉 have played over 120 shows across Europe, appeared at festivals such as Sziget, Colours of Ostrava, and Waves Vienna, and won Czeching 2019.

]]> One of Eastern Europe’s most exciting musical exports, K not K (formally known as Karpov not Kasparov) began making music based on the rules and strategies of chess. It might seem complicated but the output is always a very danceable tune. There are some classical allusions and plenty of Oriental flavours (because chess is an Oriental game) and there’s always a powerful dance-floor bass-driven sound that makes you jump and shout.

Chances are you’ll also see ballet dancers on the stage or maybe some sort of theatrical performance. Sometimes the music becomes a live soundtrack for avant-garde silent films or even for chess games played by the audience.

During the past 8 years, the band played in 38 out of 44 European countries on club or cultural stages, and also for festivals like
Nuits Sonores, Printemps de Bourges, Fusion, Amsterdam Dance Event, Electric Castle, Untold, Jazz in the Park, Electronic Beats, Eurosonic, Tallin Music Week, Stereoleto etc Some of these stages were shared with great bands like GusGus, Underworld, AltinGun, Poni Hoax etc

Debut LP “Soundtrack for a Game of Chess” has been nominated ‘album of the month’ by Vice Magazine, declared ‘one of the most valuable releases of the year’ by Radio Romania Cultural.

The Vocal Edits (2016) was declared Best Romanian Electronic Release of 2016 by Scena9.ro and stamped “probably the best Romanian album of its genre in the last 30 years” by the journalists of the musical blog Muzici&Faze.

Memory EP (2021) was featured on BBC 6, full album announced for spring 2023

]]> badfocus είναι το project του παραγωγού, συνθέτη και πολυοργανίστα από την Πράγα Prokop Korb. Ο έφηβος ακόμη badfocus ενσαρκώνει ένα γνήσιο δημιουργικό πνεύμα με μια ατελείωτη δίψα για νέα ηχητικά τοπία, ρυθμούς και μελωδίες. Παρόλο που προέρχεται από ένα jazz παρελθόν, ο badfocus πειραματίζεται με διάφορα μουσικά είδη όπως electronica, κλασική μουσική, hip-hop και indie pop, με τα τραγούδια του να δημιουργούν έναν μοναδικό ηχητικό περιβάλλον πέρα από περιορισμούς και μουσικά είδη.

Ακούγοντας τον badfocus μπορείτε να βρείτε στοιχεία από καλλιτέχνες όπως ο Nils Frahm, ο Ólafur Arnalds ή και ο Bonobo, σίγουρα όμως θα αναγνωρίσετε το δικό του, αυθεντικό άκουσμα.

Από την άνοιξη του 2020 που ξεκίνησε το  project του ο badfocus κυκλοφόρησε το πρώτο του ep (vol. I), το ντεμπούτο άλμπουμ του wallflower και ένα ακόμη ακουστικό EP.

Συστήνονται ως ελληνόφωνη μπάντα με αιχμηρό, ακατέργαστο στίχο πλαισιωμένο από μουσική που αντλεί στοιχεία από punk- rock και διάφορα είδη ηλεκτρονικής μουσικής όπως idm, industrial, rave, dubstep. Το όνομα της μπάντας αντηχεί την ατμόσφαιρα του ήχου της και παραπέμπει στην υψηλή ζωτική ενέργεια που εκλύεται από την ακρόαση των τραγουδιών του album “ORGAZMA” και θα κυριαρχεί στις μελλοντικές ζωντανές εμφανίσεις του σχήματος. Οι ORGAZMA εκφράζονται άλλοτε με τρόπο οξύ, άλλοτε πυρετώδη και κάποιες φορές με τρόπο βαθιά συναισθηματικό. Μέσα από τη δριμεία μουσική τους και την αιχμηρότητα των στίχων τους αποκαλύπτουν, στην ουσία, τη σφοδρή ανάγκη του ανθρώπου που ακροβατεί αναζητώντας τον δικό του τρόπο να ζήσει τη μία και μοναδική ζωή του.Τα 8 τραγούδια του album κυκλοφορούν ψηφιακά από το Ogdoo Music Group και μέσα στη χρονιά θα τυπωθούν και σε βινύλιο.
