Laraaji
Based in New York City, Laraaji began playing music on the streets in the 1970s, improvising trance-inducing jams on a modified autoharp processed through various electronic effects. Influential British musician and record producer Brian Eno saw him playing one night in Washington Square Park and invited him to record an album of ambient music at his studio. Laraaji went on to release a prolific series of albums for a wide variety of labels, many of which he recorded himself at home and sold as cassettes during his street performances. In recent years his profile has enjoyed a renaissance via a series of new and reissued recordings on the All Saints label, as well as worldwide performances, laughter meditation workshops and deep listening sessions.

Indrė
Indrė Jurgelevičiūtė is a Lithuanian singer, kanklės (Baltic psaltery, a traditional string instrument) player and composer who creates otherworldly soundscapes, weaving together ambient textures, echoes of Lithuanian folk songs, and electronic elements. Her music drifts between the intimate and the ethereal, inviting listeners into a space that feels both ancient and timeless. Indrė has a long-standing collaboration with Belgian guitarist and electronic artist Bert Cools, called Merope. Their most recent album Vėjula, released on Stroom and granvat, has been described as "stylistically fluid and carrying transcendent allure", exploring themes of nature, mythology and transformation. Indrė’s creative reach extends through collaborations with artists such as Shahzad Ismaily, Laraaji, Jessika Kenney, Gyða Valtýsdóttir and Solo Cissokho. She also composes for theatre and film.

Walrus
Born and raised in the well-known cradle of electronic music culture called Belgium, Walrus has for the past twenty years been challenging our perceptions of club and ambient music with a fiery passion, dedication and sincerity. He is an accomplished dj (and former Fuse resident), he organises the Beautiful Freaks parties, he founded the Basic Moves label and he manages the second hand sales for Crevette Records – impressive to say the least. More recently Walrus moved to London to continue his musical journey, so we are extra happy to welcome his idiosyncratic selections back to beurscafé for a free-for-all ambient set.
