Shy One's DJ sets and productions exude the eclectic spirit of London. In her earliest years hosting various pirate stations, she absorbed the diverse sounds and styles of the metropolis, so expect a hefty dose of grime and a broad spectrum of club music. Undeterred by critics who labelled her beats as "weird" or "different", Shy One chiselled away at her unique sound (initially with Fruity Loops!), attracting the attention of Scratcha DVA, which released her EP "Decaffeinated Love" and debut album "Bedknobs and Boomkicks" on DVA Music. Today, Shy One's indefinable sound embraces hip-hop, jazz, house and West London brokenbeat, among others. A well-stocked tour schedule and regular releases confirm Shy One as one of the most quirky DJs and producers in London and worldwide.

Based in Rome, XL Regular stands out as a producer and DJ with a genuine commitment to his art. Mixing elements from genres like House, Broken-Beat, UK Garage and more, he consistently crafts a soulful sound that has become his artistic fingerprint. His music lies in his adeptness at merging diverse genres, resulting in a unique sonic identity. Whether he's releasing a new track or curating a set, his approach is characterized by a seamless fusion of percussions sound elements and booty-shakin’ grooves. Showcasing his talent in producing, he has made significant contributions with releases on labels such as ANMA, Cognitiva, Outplay, and Wicked Wax. His forthcoming solo EP on Artisjok is a proof of his evolution as an artist, bringing a refreshing addition to the scene. Whether in the studio or behind the decks, his focus remains creating an experience of community and togetherness through music.

AliA is driven by a fierce and passionate love for a different variety of genres. Each time she’s able to seamlessly craft an uncompromising and genre-hopping story, without losing coherence of verve. Being only in her early 20’s she has a surprisingly thorough knowledge of club music and a mixing technique many envy. She’s a resident at Belgium’s finest HORST Festival and a regular at the infamous C12 club in Brussels. Her past gigs include festivals like Worldwide Festival (Leysin, CH), Dekmantel Selector (Pula, HR), Dimensions (Pula, HR), Lowlands (Biddinghuizen, NL), Listen! Festival (Brussels, BE) and many more…

The trio Bruno x Soet x Moene is deeply inspired by jazz, funk, fusion and jungle. Bruno (synth + keys) & Moene (drums) met each other at Lemmens Institute in Leuven and played all kinds of concerts together, later Soet (bass) also joined to create extra energy live. Their willingness to explore uncharted musical territories, incorporating elements of jazz and jungle into their compositions, set them apart as a trio unafraid to challenge conventions. The future holds great promise for this trio.
