BROMP TREP
Bromp Treb is Neil Young Cloaca mixing eager ineptitude with confident uncertainty to make busted sound and performance.
Bromp Treb is clumsy body music and obtuse gesture used to dance against rhythm. Cloaca sets the table for a messy dinner of intentionally-unstable systems of cheap synths, effects pedals and fried circuitry, tape manipulation, amateur phonography, collaged beats, and poor drumming technique. His recipes are quickly disposed of with abrupt digressions and improvised chain reactions that amuse and confound.
Cloaca remains a proud member of the absurdist baroque noise quintet Fat Worm of Error, currently enjoying a hibernation after over a decade of activity. Bromp Treb has released many cassettes and 7″ records and currently has two LPs coming out on Feeding Tube Records and Weird Ear. Bromp Treb has performed at fancy-pants places like ICA Boston, High Zero Festival, and the San Francisco Center for New Music as well as countless basements, bars, lofts, living rooms, closets and art spaces all around North America.

CURSE PURSE
Massachusetts is definitely fertile ground for some highly disturbed and gently music. Curse Purse resulting therefrom and fruit there was all of the unidentified sound object. With a rock scrambled somewhat versatile electronic instrumentation, the trio offers a completely dislocated music, elusive songwriting but proudly standing. After a first album appeared on Feeding Tube Records, the band toured with a new EP featuring Mark Cunningham of New York’s legendary Mars and Kassie Carlson Guerilla Toss.

BONNE APARTE
Groningen’s finest noisemongers, BACK!
Een onwaarschijnlijke clusterbom van adrenaline en levernssappen, dat is wat Bonne Aparte is. Ze staat bekend om haar drang om dingen zo ver mogelijk in het rood te drukken door tegelijk hun gitaren, drums, percussie, synth en stemmen te forceren tot noise en feedback.
Bonne Aparte komt voort uit de bloeiende scene rondom de electronoise act Adept. De band levert ultrakorte, extreem harde songs, met net genoeg ruimte voor melodie. Meedogenloos en elegant tegelijk. Het resultaat is een krachtig statement van chaosrock.

DJ LONELY & ELIA BULETTI
Dj Lonely is the music alter ego of artist Jonas Ohlsson, who raves up a crown instantly with his broad taste for music. It goes from detroit house to noise and industrial music to kuduru and favela funk, grime, sleazy eastern european electronica, and hip hop. Anything goes and wrong just feels so right sometimes.
Elia Buletti, the man behind the Berlin based label Das Andere Selbst. “Altogether, let`s call it just bedroom tribalism”.

HEADBAND
Baltimore’s Headband is a master of performance, one of the most fun acts to see live. Fantastic sense of humor, killer audio destruction, careful, confident work of an absolute natural.

LAFMS: how low can you go?
A short film portrait of the Los Angeles Free Music Society.
These irreverent, LA-based experimental musicians have been fearlessly exploring sound since the early 1970’s. The collective is bonded by friendship and a love for blowing apart boundaries. LAFMS helped birth modern noise music and have influenced artists around the world.
Los Angeles Free Music Society Documentary Film
This documentary directed by Holly Thompson and Mark McNeill, tells the story of the Los Angeles Free Music Society through interviews and live performance clips featuring LAFMS Members: Ace Farren Ford, Dennis “Duck” Mehaffey, Fredrik Nilsen, Joe Potts, Joseph Hammer, Mitchell Brown, Rick Potts, Tom Recchion and Vetza Trussell.

“Check out this film. It’s about something you don’t know about but you do know about, and if you’re a noise nerd you definitely know about… While all these wankers were toodle jerkin’ their geetars, or gettin’ rockin roll geetarded, these dudes were breaking shit, wrangling wild tape loops, making jerk-canned techno and generally fucking the fabric of time! So dope.” – Peaking Lights

MAÎTRES FOUS
Franco-Italian cosmic-abstract free jam featuring Virgina Genta, David Vanzan (JOOKLO DUO), Ernesto “Bear Bones, Lay Low” Gonzalez, Mathieu Tilly and Jeremie Sauvage (FRANCE).

Maîtres Fous is an improvisation project bringing the rhythm section of France and of two Italian Jooklo Duo, Virginia Genta and David Vanzan. We know the minimalist approach of France and exhilarating trio and access to free jazz to neo Jooklo Duo but he does not act here, however, a defector from both groups.
Maîtres Fous is a separate entity built on a abounding instrumentarium (percussion, bells, drums, alto sax, flute, lap steel, flat guitar, bass, synthesizers, prepared piano, effects patch …), which produces a sound environment as These intrepid evanescent … Maîtres Fous here are not those of Jean Rouch but they lead us somewhere between incantatory experience and the feeling of a dark euphoria.
“Franco-Italian Free Psychodelic Kosmiche Impro”?

NEW ROOT CANAL
Son of cult Fluxus artist Ludo Mich, ya boy Rufus from Antwerp brings you straight passion with voice and electronics, spraypainting your brain with a can full of echo and liquifying your bones with oldschool street beats. ZOOT SUCKAS ZOOT.

RO
Chris Shields´ fluid ceramic patchwork. Balancing a fine line between ultra rhythm and the opposite, Ro toggles between extremely non-musical and string composition, computer music, field recording, custom homemade modular synth and mixer. Formerly active as Marcel Du Swamp, collaborator with Carly Ptak of Nautical Almanac as Fountain Of Youth.

TELLAVISION
Tellavision aka Fee R Kurten who has been deeply rooted in the DIY culture right from her start in 2007. She calls her Original aesthetic “hardware post pop” Its somewhere between anti-pop and avantgarde and between high and low art. Her sound is maybe to punk for an art audience and to arty for a punk audience. She studied art @ the art academy in Hamburg and was teached by icons like Jutta Koether and Felix Kubin. Her interests were beside art, visual art, sonology and offcourse music. She produces an unique sound that still puts her between like minded guys and gals like Ariel Pink, Agf, Barbara Morgenstern, surprisingly ESG or early Quarks stuff and not to forget other female artists like Fatima Al Qadiri, Inga Copeland, Gazelle Twin, Klara Lewis and bits of Coco Rosie, Frau Kraushaar and FKA Twigs.
