“The first release from the duo of digital artists Viktor Timofeev and Kaspars Gro\u0161evs presents a sonic map of half-imagined topography – both of the housing estate in Latvian capital Riga from which the project takes its name and a grey, abstract desert.” Wire Magazine, January 2017<\/p>\n
Zolit\u016bde began in 2014 when New York-based artist Viktor Timofeev met Riga-based artist and curator Kaspars Gro\u0161evs, which was soon followed by a series of recordings that resulted in the first release, “Zolit\u016bde,” on Quantum Natives in 2016. After years of distance, in 2023, Zolit\u016bde was reunited and joined by musician Aleksis Luri\u0146\u0161 (ritunsiic). Zolit\u016bde’s sound varies from distorted electronic beats to double bass “krautscapes”, mixed with tape feedback and liquid vocals. <\/p>\n
THE OMEGA POINT (Australia) Part ritual, part musical performance; The Omega Point is the Melbourne-based experimental project of artist Alex Clouston, weaving intense dirge-like harmonies and ethereal soundscapes with influences ranging from Gregorian chant to post industrial, krautrock and dream pop.<\/p>\n
They engage in embodied, experimental methods of creating musical composition and performance to create avant-garde operas, they contemporise their eco-requiems with the use of vocoders, synthesisers and drum machines.<\/p>\n
The Omega Point and will be embarking on an EU tour in November 2025 with shows in Berlin, Vienna, Paris, London, Copenhagen and Vilnius.<\/p>\n
Awreliya is the Melbourne based doomsoul project led by songwriter and multi\u2011instrumentalist Aurelia Fiorentino. Marrying gospel harmonies and metal vocals , she uses her sonic realm as alchemy to unthread wounds and unfold sanctuary. Known for her primal belting Awreliya weaves banshee screams over distorted guitars and haunting ambient textures. With the heaviness of sludge and the heavenly harmony of neosoul and jazz, her music feels more like a spell, going from meditation to excorcism and back again. Inspired by Hiatus Kaiyote, Dilly Dally and Mavis Staples.<\/p>\n
Front woman Aurelia cut her teeth on Sydney\u2019s vibrant scene, leading bands with percussionist Yiss\u202fMill and bassist\/producer Nic\u202fMalouf, and touring Europe\u2019s underground venues. She\u2019s already marked key milestones: her debut double sided album was released January\u202f2025 and lead single Grace dropped June\u202f26,\u202f2024 both garnering radio airplay. <\/p>\n
