Ziúr (DE)
Ziúr is an experimental producer and musician, and a fixture in Berlin's rich musical scene. She produces music that is expansive, rich, and diverse in texture, with sounds that are simultaneously machinistic and deeply anthropomorphic, toying with mechanical isolation and the chaotic spectrum of human emotion. Unlike a soundtrack or score, there is no film to which one can turn to give narrative to the music – there are only evocative sounds reaching from each song towards the cybernetic. In 2021 she released her third album, Antifate, after two earlier EPs: Blur, and Now Now, all to critical acclaim.
Elvin Brandhi (GB)
Elvin Brandhi is an improvising lyricist, producer and sound artist from Bridgend, Wales, who builds aberrant beats from field recordings, tape, vinyl, instrument, and voice. Using sound and voice as an expansive language transgressing intrinsic systemics and inherited syntactical etiquettes, her live shows are unyielding bursts of erupting animation where her caustic stream of consciousness cavorts with restless, glitched out heaviness. Her creative momentum comprises a range of collaborations and an endless nomadism.
