Homeland
(France)
Deviant Trap Pop
Behind Heimat lie two well-known figures in French underground: Olivier Demeaux, keyboardist for Cheveu and also a member of the drone-ambient project Accident du Travail, and Armelle Oberle, whose unique voice has already been heard on The Dreams and Badaboum. Heimat has surprised their audience with the originality of their compositions, inspired by new wave and trap music as well as ethnographic recordings from South east Asia. In their latest release, Armelle's vocal performance remains central. Demeaux's beat-making and production in Iti Eta No foregrounds rhythmic complexity, with elements reminiscent of the experimental side of baile funk and African drill, albeit accompanying European melodies and musique concrète.

The Pleasure Majenta
(New Zealand, Berlin)
Dark Avant-Garde Rock
The Pleasure Majenta is a band formed in Tāmaki Makaurau, now based in Berlin, where they continue to evolve their distinct sound at the intersection of post-punk, industrial, and dark jazz influences. Often drawing comparisons to Swans, Les Rallizes Dénudés, The Birthday Party, and Bohren & der Club of Gore, TPM has earned a reputation for creating visceral, atmospheric soundscapes that blend chaos with beauty. Renowned for their live performances, TPM transforms their precise recordings into cathartic, electrifying shows.

Snails In The Raised Bed
(Munich)
Post-punk pop
Schnecken im Hochbeet is an extremely animal friendly group with a dramatically grotesque tendency towards fever dreams. Bark-wave, mutt pop, snail mail bank, snot-beetle rock, and rolling heads.

Coco Hope
(Munich)
DJ
With a unique ability to blend different genres of electronic and non-electronic music, Coco Hope creates a sonic identity that defies convention. Her focus lies in techno, house, tech house, and acid house - but boundaries don't apply here. Fusing old school with futuristic vibes, her sets radiate a sound that connects past and future.
