PROGRAM

In recent years Toma Kami has been shaping an eclectic yet recognisable sound with several outings on Bristol's Livity Sound as well as his own imprint mb studio, with the latter being a home to his Speed Oddity releases, also soon to become a party series in 2024 with a first residency at Helsinki’s Post Bar. A specialisation in rhythmic variety partly informed by his dynamic DJ sets, that have become well known synonyms for wild rides through the likes of heavy bass, dancehall, techno, jungle, electro, rap, and any other style that will match his expression of specifically physical and unusual energy on the dance floor. An approach that has seen him tour the likes of USA and Asia, as well as world renowned clubs like De School and Berghain, and regular slots at festivals like Dekmantel. Through his label mb studio, Toma continues to push his own sound and vision as well as fresh music from exciting new producers from the burgeoning French scene and beyond.

Sweden based DJ Seduce has quickly become a vitality to the modern rave scene. Nurtured by a lifelong love for music, every shred of influence spills out in her take on contemporary club music. Breakbeat science is her craft, driven by emotive melodies and well-executed rhythms, effortlessly moving through landscapes of jungle, techno and UK bass.

As one half of sample twisters SHXCXCHCXSH, SSTROM takes on a more analog approach by manipulating repetitive sequences of hardware. Through the years the soundscape has emerged from a distinct hypnotic minimalism into a vast cinematic and more adventurous wildernes. His works on Voam, Rösten and Semantica are characterised by immersion, intense immediacy and spontaneity.

Dip Shim is a Spanish-born producer who relocated to Malmö some years back and found his calling in the reincarnation of electro through his relentless output of acid-flavored 303 jams. Founder of Malmø Traxx label, and Malmös vinyl community, Bolero. He’s also known as Digge Shim. Influenced by Dutch West Coast, Detroit Techno, and the Spanish scene, he's released with labels like Gated (UK), SNC Recs.

DJ Selfhelp is a radio host, DJ, photographer and part of the Hybrida Fest team. His DJ sets are genre-bending, UK leaning and filled with jolting moments. They consist of a mix of soft sounds, euphoric vocals and heavy baselines, contrasted with hard kicks drums, quick hi-hats and naked rawness. Fast and slow, high and low, you get it both.

Over the last years, Tomasz Skibicki have been developing a workflow that is at once research-based and materially dedicated. In this framework, he produce installations, sculptures and films.

Miglė Vyčinaitė is an artist whose work revolves around several central themes, notably the creation of modern myths and magical materialism. She develops speculative scenarios intertwined with non-canonical histories. Her work invites us to contemplate the connections between contemporary storytelling and the myths that shape our understanding of the world.

Marius Bø is one of the co-founders of the Oslo-based collective Ute. A Oslo-based record label and event series spawned out of hosting gatherings, deep in the Norwegian forest. His sets can be seen as a concoction of psychedelic atmospherics, generating dynamic tensions and sublime releases that work both the body and mind.

After the release of the well-acclaimed ATŌMI new album entitled “Little Floating Oracles” on Lady Blunt Records and the nomination as one of the 2022 best live performance by ADAF Greece, the artist announces the new audio visual live show, a visceral and emotional journey: sound design, music concrete, ambient techno and cinematic soundscapes morphing with embriogenesis and cosmic aesthetics, thanks to the visual contribution of the Turin based, 3D and visual artist Akasha (Riccardo Franco-Loiri).

Mikkel H. Kaldal works with questions such as the representation of the self, the inception of memories and the juxtaposition between reality and fiction. Taking normative, everyday experiences as a departure point, he breaks down, recreates and re-materializes objects, images, and texts to produce new narratives that may hint at fiction or reality, but without necessarily revealing their origins.

As resident of the now-defunct Amsterdam festival Strange Sounds From Beyond, this promising Dutch artist is never quite satisfied with simply churning out dance floor fillers, preferring to blur the boundaries between genres and toy with the expectations of the audience and his own.

Sonia works with performance, text, sculpture and design - on dis/connection, vulnerability, belonging, alienation and new perspectives. Born in Sweden by Polish parents, growing up in an artistic home in Stockholm and Gothenburg. Studying several art and design courses and holding a BA in fashion design from Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam.

JOANNA PARTY – her name says it all: ‘you wanna party?’. The Swedish/Brazilian DJ and visual artist consistently lives up to her cheeky invitation by delivering eclectic sets that will have you sweating. Drawing from her heritage and years in the UK scene, her taste is a melting pot of influences, freely blending stompy breakbeats and deep wubby basslines with bouncy baile funk, techno/IDM, tech house gems, and all things hot & spicy in between.

Based between Marseille and Berlin, Jun Suzuki is an equilibrist in search of imbalance. From his years as an opera singer to his exploration of generative AI tools, each of his new projects is an excuse for cross-media experimentation. On stage, he blends tape loops, granular samples, AI clones, and stretched mp3s, all in the service of a narrative about his fragmented-mutating Japanese origins.
