Freak Heat Waves -
Since dropping their self-titled debut in 2012, Freak Heat Waves have been an ever-evolving musical force, delivering a steady output that defies easy categorization. Comprising Steve Lind and Thomas Di Ninno, the duo delivered their most alluring output to date with their latest LP, 2023's Mondo Tempo. Released via Vancouver's Mood Hut label and landing on numerous best of lists, this fifth album is a tasteful infusion of dancehall grooves, ambient textures, trance mantras and midi smoothness -- a heady cocktail that seamlessly blends elements of post-punk, psych, dub, ambient, house, and techno. Once again, the Freaks have reaffirmed their reputation as one of the most unpredictable and exciting acts around.

Jaakko Eino Kalevi -
Jaakko Eino Kalevi is the Finnish musician whose body of work spans two decades and covers a wild range of styles informed by jazz, reggae, metal, electro and pop. Since 2013 he has released his music through the British label Domino. His sixth album ‘Chaos Magic’ came out last November and features collaborations with Jimi Tenor, Alma Jodorowsky, Faux Real. Flaminia Veronesi and Vilunki 3000. The record is in part inspired by his new home in Athens. Live, expect lots of new songs and hits such as Flexible Heart, Macho and I Wanna Win. This year, his 'Chaos Magic' tour has taken Jaakko across Europe, into the Arctic, and all the way to China.
