Music acts
SUUMHOW An experimental electronic duo from Brussels who compose glitched up, dirty yet melodious “IDM” that you really can’t dance to. From bruising syncopated beat constructions to lush melancholic sceneries, the music is often created in conjunction with audio-reactive visuals utilizing circuit bent analog video synths. In addition to modular gear and a weakness for anything digitally corruptible, they have been known to utilize these video synths to create viscerally malfunctioning audio-visual live performances.
I am Legendary Robot 8-bit metal
Pule and Machine Powerful singer, producer, and guitarist bringing original beats that make the dance floor shake.
Nariel Nariel blends IDM and Drill & Bass worlds.
