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.

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.

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.
