]]> 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!

]]> Melina carries the musical heritage of her Greek origins through a voice rich in ornamentation and
emotion. Born with musicians, oral tradition was central to her upbringing.

She studied oriental violin in Greece and traditional singing, later deepening her vocal practice and
learning oud at the Conservatory of Oriental Music in France, graduating with honors.

A lover of literature, Melina studied at the Sorbonne but soon realized music demanded her full attention.
This passion for words now feeds her songwriting, while her connection to dance brings an embodied
presence to the stage.

Her universe blends tradition with poetry, creating music that feels both urban and magical, where
traditional sounds meet pop and wedding music. Her inspirations range from The Do to Rosalia.

She’s joined by Doğan Poyraz on percussion, together crafting a sound that is sensitive, powerful, and deeply original.

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.

]]> Cosmonuts is an interstellar voyage through the depths of alternative and psychedelic rock.

Formed in Chania in 2013, this five-piece band quickly gained recognition for their explosive live shows and cosmic soundscapes that transport listeners beyond the stars. A unique sound that blends soaring guitar riffs, thundering basslines and powerful rhythms, their music is a journey through space and time, capturing the awe of the unknown while delivering a high-octane, rock ‘n’ roll experience.

Holidays in Andromeda (2017), Leaps of Fate (2020), Memory of the Sea & Slim Blonde Silhouette (2023), rocketed them into the indie rock scene, earning them praise for their expansive sound and thematic storytelling. Cosmonuts continues to captivate audiences with their distinct fusion of modern rock elements and space-inspired imagery, exploring new frontiers with every release.

Cosmonuts unearth a collage of experiences and emotions, illuminated by eras they never experienced.

Cosmic Anthology (2024) is the new chapter in their discography with familiar rock sounds, but unfamiliar stories. An anthology of ideas and endeavors, drawn from their cosmic journey, infused with their own reality.

]]> 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.

]]> Komisiia is a four-piece band from Kyiv, Ukraine. We have released two full-length albums, three EPs, and six singles. Exploring different genres, from punk rock to bossa nova and house-inspired indie-pop, Komisiia is an ever-changing picture labeled by several musical media as a “chameleon band.” They have performed 100+ gigs in different venues across Europe. 

Since the onset of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the band members have been thrust into a new reality. This seismic shift has not only reshaped their day-to-day lives but also the landscape of the Ukrainian music industry. The band’s most significant new challenge right now is the necessity of reorientation to European markets and building a network of connections there. 

In 2023, Komisiia started working with Ukrainian indie label Kontrabass Promo, opening a new chapter in the band’s story. Last year, the band also organized numerous charity events with the Musicians Defend Ukraine Foundation.
