Ak’Chamel – Ritual Folk / Desert Psychedelia / Shamanic trance

Ak'chamel has built a solid reputation as one of the most compelling stage projects in recent years. Wearing nightmarish costumes and engaging in hallucinatory rituals, their singular sound comprising desert-scorched psychedelia, post-apocalyptic shamanism, and lo-fi ritual-folk is as unique as the physical theater of their live performances.

Authors of around fifteen cassettes, three vinyl LP’s and several cryptic VHS videos, they have been active for over a decade performing major festivals on both sides of the Atlantic such as Le Guess Who? And garnering press from VICE, Consequence, The Wire, and many more…

Sacred Lodge – Horrorcore / Bass / Ritual

Sacred Lodge began as a side project launched in 2017 by Matthieu Ruben N'Dongo, a Paris-based producer and sound artist also known as Coldgeist and member of NZE NZE. Introduced to ethnomusicology during a master's degree in Musicology at Paris 8 University, he began working on the Fang people (from which his father originates) and their cosmogony known as Mvett. His research focuses on the role of music in ritual contexts, its social functions, and its syncretism with external influences.

Drawing equally from his Equato-Guinean heritage and the visceral energy of horrorcore and bass music, he reshapes these codes into an organized sonic mayhem. He uses the scream as a vocal act of liberation in the face of oppression, an act rooted in the tradition of field hollers, ritual chants, andresistance music. Through its brutal expressivity, immediate emotional impact, and awakening power, the scream becomes a sonic gesture of decolonization and bodily insubordination, a living signal of what is resisting

Kuntari (Indonesia) – Neo Tribal / Metal core / Rock

A pivotal figure in the Indonesian experimental scene, KUNTARI has constantly experimented with primitive voices producing animal mating calls with his trumpet mixed with tons variation of Indonesia's tribal rhythms. The music produced percussive primal sound along with dark ambient, a firm unit and solid of two individuals with an intense dynamic of heavy ancient beats. Their live performances create an organic raw sonical untamed with feral approach.

A duo of drum-percussion and cornet-guitar inspired by Hadrah Kuntulan and Sar Ping from Lion Dance/Barongsai reflect on religion and power abuse during colonialism that destroyed cultures.
