]]> Palinstar is a parallel universe, planet, and self-heroine all at once. Behind the name lies a multi-instrumentalist who has toured globally with Boytoy(US), supported Caroline Rose(US) or Soap&Skin(AT), and performed at KEXP (Kush K).

Now, she finally presents her artistic vision: gay stuff, Emotional Jetlag, Heart Rock as a refuge. Or a blend of Americana melodies with simple lyrics, inspired by Nirvana del Rey and experimental-song.

Additionally, it’s shaped by Swiss heritage and a deep, sensual voice akin to Angel Olsen and Stevie Nicks. The specially invented language «Spenglish» forms the core of this «Mouthart». Sound that motivates towards self-empowerment and self-care while activating the emotional and song process. Even when Palinstar nerds out on Star Wars, attends dog shows, or reveres the twang of her single-coil guitars. Epiphone Melody Maker ftw!

]]> Terselle was born and raised in Saratov, Russia. From a very young age, music played a dominant role in her life. With a classical music education, she feels artistically shaped through her personal experiences and influences, which range from post punk, electronic and experimental pop genres. Terselle draws inspiration from the images and sounds around her and when she writes a song she feels its hue and structures a narrative. With particular sensitivity to social, environmental and mental health issues, she is not afraid to self-expose and disclose while accepting adversities and emotions as the driving force towards art. The incessant dialogue between being a straight A student and the rebellious daughter constitutes the experience and the revolution from which Terselle was born.

]]> 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

]]> Η Kit Kido είναι μια σύγχρονη torch singer. Έκανε το ντεμπούτο της στη δισκογραφία το 2021 με τα singles “Sharp Blade” και Bonnie & Clyde”, τα οποία κυκλοφόρησαν ανεξάρτητα σε ψηφιακή έκδοση και αποτελούν προάγγελο του επερχόμενου album που θα κυκλοφορήσει στο τέλος του χρόνου.

Τις ιστορίες της ντύνουν noir electro beats, alt-pop μελωδίες και experimental ήχοι δίνοντας στο αφήγημά της μια φουτουριστική και ταυτόχρονα ρετρό απόχρωση. Ισορροπώντας περίτεχνα ανάμεσα στο ψηφιακό και το λυρικό, synths, loops και φωνή διηγείται ιστορίες ενός δυστοπικού έρωτα. 

Με σπουδές στην Jazz, καταβολές από την pop και επιρροές από την δεκαετία του ’90, η Kit Kido μπορεί να κινηθεί με άνεση ανάμεσα σε funk, soul, pop μονοπάτια, και να σε παρασύρει στις νεορομαντικές ιστορίες της.

Το ντεμπούτο LP του “Cold Fruit” που κυκλοφόρησε ανεξάρτητα το 2019, σε συμπαραγωγή με τον σκηνοθέτη Aaron Khandros περιείχε συμμετοχές καλλιτεχνών από διάφορους χώρους της τέχνης, όπως η μουσικός Magic Island, η ποιήτρια Rae Armantrout και οι σκηνοθέτες Martha Colburn, Zachary Epcar και Karissa Hahn.

Ένα χρόνο μετά, ο Johnny Labelle επέστρεψε με το  δεύτερο άλμπουμ του ”XVIII” απο την Inner Ear records και με παραγωγό τον Βασίλη Ντοκάκη. Από τη συνεργασία αυτή προκύπτει ένα κράμα ηλεκτρονικής pop και ambient με dark στοιχεία, βασισμένο σε ληθαργικά synthesizers κινηματογραφικά strings και τα βαρύτονα crooning φωνητικά του Labelle, που προσδίδουν στο album μια γνώριμη και ταυτόχρονα ανοίκεια αίσθηση pop standards προηγούμενου αιώνα.

Τα τελευταία δύο χρόνια έχει μοιραστεί τη σκηνή με τους Minami Deutsch, Jaakko Eino Kalevi, Magic Island και Discovery Zone και έχει παίξει live σε Ελλάδα και Ευρώπη.
