Sloth is an Athens-based young artist in his 20s, representing the south coast and stated at Palaio Faliro.

His music sounds like Tom Misch and Mac Miller had a child raised by uncle John Mayer. coslee is an intense live performer that pours his heart out in the most intimate way. His live shows are full of heartfelt bluesy guitar solos and lyrical freestyles, on top of the nastiest hip-hop grooves laid down by his super talented band mates.

coslee doesn’t see himself as a rapper; his first love was playing the blues, which he credits as the start of his music journey. He started playing guitar when he was 18, and at the age of 21 he produced and co-wrote a full-length album for his former pop/rock band (No Band Project). His debut album as a solo artist, titled ΄What Feelings Sound Like΄, was released by Fortune Cut Records in March 2022. He has been experimenting with bars only for the past couple of years, however, coslee exhibits remarkable lyrical and musical maturity. Among his most notable collaborations are with drummer Sotiris Ntouvas’ “State of Exception” project, which opened for Dhafer Yousef at Jazz+Praksis Festival 2021 (Patras).
He has collaborated as a session guitarist with various hip hop artists, among others, Pepe Frantik (GR), Nerom (GR), and Twizmatik (USA).

badfocus (CZ)

badfocus is an emerging project of a Prague-based producer, composer and multi-instrumentalist Prokop Korb. His music represents an abundant sonic fantasy powered by the endeavour to expand his own musical language.

While still being in his teenage years, badfocus embodies a genuine creative spirit with an endless hunger for new soundscapes, beats and melodies. Despite originally coming from a jazz background, badfocus experiments with various genres such as electronica, classical music, hip-hop, or indie pop. He thus creates a completely unique world in each of his songs, which are freed from genre conventions. The main link between the mixture of genres is the indented emotional impact on listeners. While listening to badfocus you can hear parallels with artists and projects such as Nils Frahm, Ólafur Arnalds or Bonobo, but you will definitely recognize his original sound that crystallizes with each released song.

Since the establishment of this project in spring 2020, badfocus released his first ep1, debut album wallflower and last but not least, acoustic EP emerged, vol. I. Often dealing with insomnia, it’s mostly nights when badfocus arouses the peak of his creative process, while reflecting on his mental experiences, daydreaming and the outside world.
