Psychic Liberation • EXAEL • ULLA • pxmper

Psychic Liberation (PL) is a label founded in 2013 that originally ran with Miguel Alvariño under the title Primitive Languages as a cassette and record store project in New York City. Since 2019, Nick Klein has been running it solo out of the EU under the title Psychic Liberation. On January 27, Naemi, pmxper and Ulla will perform at the monthly concert series of the same name at Roter Salon - curated by Hugo Esquinca and Nick Klein.

Naemi is a Berlin-based artist best known for her work as exael. While the latter project explores more ambiguous and impersonal territories, her work under her own name involves more familiar forms of songwriting and traditional instrumentation. With a kaleidoscopic fusion of influences and sonic aesthetics, pmxper's sounds combine threads of dream pop, idm, musique concrete, ambient and trio-hop.

pmxper is a duo consisting of the Berlin-based artists Perila and Pavel Milyakov. They have been working together for more than 3 years and recently released their first self-titled LP via Smalltown Supersound. The band premiered their live program at the Rewire and Berlin Atonal festivals in 2023.

Ulla (Ulla Straus) is an artist currently based in Berlin. Her algorithmic textures shake and oscillate between detailed ambient and jazzy electronics - just to name a few descriptions. She has released music on a number of labels including Quiet Time, Experiences Ltd, West Mineral Ltd, Motion Ward, Longform Editions and most recently Foam on 3XL. Straus has become an essential part of the ambient avant-garde thanks to her compositions centered around electro-acoustics and experimental jazz.
