Acidic Male

Puck Schot is an interdisciplinary artist. In her work her personal, diary-like poetry often serves to be the core element to everything. Subjects are often self-image and transformation of it, sexuality, revenge, shame and abjection. As Acidic Male, she has released work of her own on labels like New York Haunted and Dead Channel. When DJ-ing she takes over with hypnotic drum patterns and harsh sounds. Having her performer name as a revenge title, she searches to Other herself into the position of a poetic perpetrator. Her sounds have been described as “elegant industrial”, yet in her selections she attempts to showcase her love for genre-wide experimentalism.

Son of Sesh

Are you ready for some jungle, breakbeat, rave synths and bass wobbles? Son of Sesh is the moniker of Amsterdam via Aotearoa based Producer and DeeJay Sean Miers. He has been a force in Aotearoa club music for many years, from his early days in the booth at Radioactive.fm on his fathers weekly show ‘The Session’ in the 2010’s through to humming dance floors across New Zealand and later Japan, curating club nights and performing at a wide range of venues in the Kansai area between 2014 and 2016. Upon returning to Aotearoa, Sean founded the SURFACE club night which combined Graffiti street art and club culture, drawing on the similarities and juxtaposition between live audio and visual art. Since moving to Amsterdam in 2019 Sean has adapted SURFACE to a monthly radio show on Echobox radio which strives to present electronic music from Asia and the Pacific, while staying true to its origins in the underground through a string of intimate events at Bar Theo. Sean’s passion for combining rhythm and frequency is unmistakable in any of his sets, often traversing a wide range of bass and break-centric genres to create ongoing dialog throughout.
