Arttu Partinen
A fixture of the Finnish underground for the past couple of decades, Arttu Partinen has been part of high freak flag flying outfits like Avarus and Anaksimandros, and has done the solo rounds as Amon Düde and/or himself. After many years in his Helsinkian fortress running the Artsy label, he’s back to the low countries with his chaotic rig of collapsing tape players, found sounds, wonky bloops and smashed tidbits of what could be every conversation ever held compressed down to seconds. Per his bio: “the physicality of his performances makes him a kind of a full body theremin, as every vibration has an effect on the music. The same goes also the other way, as the sounds in turn guide the body movements, his performances documenting the inevitable deterioration of both himself and his equipment.”
Bridget Hayden
Last seen in the KRAAKosphere sometime around 2018 when her LP Pure Touch Only From Now On, They Said So had just come out, Bridget Hayden is a longstanding figurehead of the paneuropean drone rock tradition that we know and love. A former member of Vibracathedral Orchestra, her solo work since 2004 has been described as “galaxy electrified musical noise”, integrating highly personal guitar work into a larger lo-fi universe that is dream-coded and surreal, poetically oscillating between melancholic ruminations and noise-drenched brutalism that feels heavily intimate nonetheless. These spectral spaces are meant for visitations ~ allow them to reverberate within you!
Emill Mi DJ set
Illuminated brother of the Slavic exiles crew and a fixture of Tbilisi's Mutant Radio, we caught this silvery figure just before he spirits off once more to lands unknown! Emill’s excellent tune selections betray a penchant for storytelling through sound, bringing together the unexpected and the unlikely to trace a journey across musical landscapes most fire 🐸
