RAMZi[CA]

Vancouver native Phoebé Guillemot aka RAMZi creates rich, humid ecosystems of sound that, like the substance of the natural world, are as gorgeous as they are peculiar. As highly original contributions to experimental club music, they carry the internet-age baton in a tradition of exotica that began in the 1950s.

Nene H[TR/DE]

Under her given name, Beste Aydin achieved notable acclaim as a classically trained pianist. Yet her latest project, as Nene H, sees her transform into a different creature altogether. Accessing a darker, transcendental state, Nene H creates hypnotising techno. Her mysterious yet powerfully physical sound draws on elements of drone, industrial, psychedelic, dark wave, noise, and more.
