Supersport! (IS)

Supersport! was formed in manic excitement on the dancefloor of a now-vanished Reykjavík bar on a late night a few summers ago. The artsy indie pop of Bjarni, Dagur, Hugi and Þóra is sweet and playful. Supersport! remain champions of the DIT (do-it-together) ideology, singing together, harmonising, as a way of being together, practicing friendship and solidarity, and exploring the guitar as a tool for storytelling and expressivity. Their newest, sweetly vulnerable EP is out September 27.
21:30

Indian Wells (IT)

Indian Wells is the moniker of electronic music artist Pietro Iannuzzi, from southern Italy. His work draws inspiration largely from his own cultural background, referencing elements of geographical, social and political isolation that etches across a range of technically demanding, conceptually driven and emotive electronic music. His 4th album No One Really Listens to Oscillators is released on Max Cooper’s Mesh imprint and explores the concept of “unfinished”, both in relation to oneself, art, architecture and surroundings.

Chloe Slater (UK)

Chloe Slater is a 21-year-old singer-songwriter on the rise, carving a path in the realm of independent music. Born and raised in Bournemouth, she moved to Manchester for a course at the University, found her voice in the effervescent open mic scene and has since been collaborating closely with writer/producer Jack Shute. Her 2024 debut EP, You Can’t Put A Price On Fun, encapsulates a grungy, indie-cool vibe, blending Chloe's distinctive style with meaningful lyricism. The EP explores themes of youth, identity, and the complexities of modern society.

EIHWAR (FR)

The neo-folk Vikings of Eihwar have just joined the Season of Mist label (home of Heilung and Warduna). Very soon, the duo found great success at major European festivals such as Hellfest, Wave Gotik Treffen, Rockstadt Extreme Fest, Motocultor, Leyendas del Rock, and their YouTube channel has already exploded. Eihwar produces pagan dancefloor music, brutal and festive, composed of Nordic folk sounds, ritual chants, shamanic drums and powerful electro machines. Prepare to enter the trance, with this eccentric duo from France.

MДQUIИД. (PT)

Drawing on minimalist Krautrock repetition, pounding industrial techno and EBM, Lisbon trio MAQUINA. fearlessly explore the boundaries of these genres with passion on their second album ‘PRATA’, out April 2024 on Fuzz Club. Across the six tracks, they carve out an adrenaline-fueled sound that's equally suited to dark, sweaty back rooms and the dance floor. MAQUINA. doesn’t rely on machinery, but instead embraces the raw power of live instruments, providing an electrifying groove-heavy experience that resonates with the audience.
