ZA!
Barcelona
ZA! are two multi-instrumentalist polymaths from Catalonia. This crazy supersonic-orchestra combines African beats, noise, math rock, vocal-loops, free jazz, analogue electronics, sounds from the shepherds of Tuva, Balinese polyrhythms, Mauritanian trip hop, Dadaism, distortion, dance and drones – “Post Worldmusic” may be the name of this danceable hybrid.

BROKEN.HEART.COLLECTOR
Vienna
For BROKEN.HEART.COLLECTOR five champions of undefined paths join forces,
having found what was meant to be found – each other:
Slovenian vocal artist and bass flutist Maja Osojnik, Bass clarinetist
Susanna Gartmayer known from the manifold domestic improvisation scene, and
there is also Bulbul – the Austrian superband, for years utilizing the
classic rock line-up and pushing it beyond its
boundaries. Broken.Heart.Collector is an intoxicating stream of lava,
guides along The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, unnoticably passing owls
whistling ‘good-night’s’ and wobbling shadowrealms
dragging into disco beats.

SCHNAAK
Berlin
Two tip-toe sounds from afar in the dark, the two that call themselves SchnAAk. They make fire from amplifiers. They know how to do that, cause they are smart… and they cook human flesh over it, nicely. SchnAAk has lived up and loves weird hip-hop beats, electronic mind-expansion and stylish African rhythms, though still working deep down in a factory of cosmic noise. But adjusting their machines nicely to sing along.

BUKE AND GASE
New York
BUKE AND GASE are Brooklyn-based two-piece Arone Dyer on the “buke” (a self-modified sixstring baritone ukulele) and Aron Sanchez on the “gase” (a guitar-bass hybrid of his own creation). Both of them play double duty mobilizing a small army of foot percussion. These instruments are then filtered through various pedals, amplifiers and other homemade inventions to create a surprisingly complex sound. Arone’s supermelodic vocal lines weave through the beautiful yet sometimes unwieldy musical matter, balancing light and dark, calamity and control.

DON VITO
Leipzig
DON VITO – advanced noise creators and one of the neatest outfits there are. Hardly anyone in that genre has accomplished a tighter match of two antagonisms – chaos and structure. Don Vito is a monstrous maelstrom from Eastern Germany, pushing the concept of Noise to a new level of forcefulness, at times very danceable. Their latest record IV is a brute piece of greatness.
TARENTATEC
Dresden
Rising from hypnotic sessions, a motley collection of different song structures evolves. In the diverting to epic songs of Tarentatec you can find elements of postpunk, noise and jazz, which they interweave intuitively anew. The trio oscillates between widescreen sound and minimalism, instrumental short stories and dry rock’n’rolling, snapshot and steamroller. Musical patterns are being reflected by all members – own ways within rock music are being explored. Besides, the way of Tarentatec, if there is any direction, is always a tightrope walk between convention and the unreserved search for freedom. Tarentatec recently amazes people with their anarchic Zappa-Freakout-Set “Aufrichtiges Zappa”.
