SINULARIA
Sinularia from Berlin are playing "Subwater Beats", their self- created genre. They combine Wonky Beats and Intelligent Dance Music inspired by Flying Lotus and Aphex Twin, Jazz and Improvisation, complexistic rhythms with floating melodies and chords out of the Electronica world. Jo Wespel (guitar, fx, composition), Felix Henkelhausen (double-bass, fx) and Max Santner (drums, fx) from Berlins young (post)contemporary scene are transforming their virtuosity to "refreshing and unpredictable colours" (Jazz'halo / Belgium). Sinularia´s concept merges musical and visual characteristics to create a wholesome concert experience. They wear specially designed fluorescent jumpsuites that create an underwater-world esthetic together with glowing corals in black light. Sinularia played, amongst others at Überjazz Hamburg, Südtirol Jazzfestival Bozen, Jazzwerkstatt Festival Bern, What is Music Festival Burgos, KIM Festival Berlin, SURfF Festival Berlin, Bandstand Festival Hellerau (European Centre of the Arts)

ARYSTAN
Multi-instrumentalist Arystan musically welds the entire world together in one intense live set. The resulting music is a live remix of ideas, improvised, urban, ritualistic, a haptic counterpoint, recorded with the loop machine and mixed in electronic music aesthetics, but always incorporating the analogue warm, edgy as well as provoking the unexpected. No set is like the other. To immerse oneself in the music, to absorb the energy in the room, to transform it, to swim in it and at the same time to tickle the archaic need of transition out of the participants and to celebrate it joyfully together. Loops as a medium to cathartically heave the body and mind into a state of flow. The result is a mix of driving beats and repetitive sounds, shapes and patterns, which cannot be categorised or assigned to a specific genre, but whose characteristics are expressive, ecstatic and meditative.
