  • Jennifer Walton

    UK

    The London-based producer and composer, who has toured extensively with the band Kero Kero Bonito, warps electronic tropes into a dizzying body horror.

  • Loraine James

    UK

    One of the most exciting young voices in electronic music today, London’s Loraine James has a musical approach displaying voracious curiosity and a peerless style.

  • Ostbam

    PL/DE

    The Polish-born, East Germany-based DJ is known for her hard mixes of industrial, acid, and techno with old-school, hardcore, gabber, and even happy hardcore.

  • Andrius Arutiunian

    LT/NL

    Working through hybrid forms of sound, Armenian-Lithuanian artist Andrius Arutiunian often employs hypnotic aural structures, non-Western tuning systems, and sonic vernacular.

  • Nakul Krishnamurthy

    IN

    Nakul Krishnamurthy explores new ways of conceiving Indian classical music at the intersection of Western classical, experimental, and electronic music traditions.

     

  • Stephen O'Malley

    US/FR

    The American composer and musician, though best known for his role as guitarist and founder of Sunn O))), has earned admiration as a wizard of fiercely innovative collaborations and as a promulgator of the musical and artistic avant-garde at large.

  • de1i girlz

    US

    New York duo Deli Girls, composed of vocalist Danny Orlowski and producer Tommi Kelly, writhe at the noise-infused edge of the dancefloor and the bar. Due to unforeseen circumstances, Kelly will be replaced by Dani Rev for the band's CTM 2022 appearance, specially-billed as de1i girlz.

  • Stephen O'Malley

    US/FR

    The American composer and musician, though best known for his role as guitarist and founder of Sunn O))), has earned admiration as a wizard of fiercely innovative collaborations and as a promulgator of the musical and artistic avant-garde at large.

  • Theresa Baumgartner

    DE

    The Berlin-based visual artist blurs the lines between AV performance and installation art using experimental filming techniques and an approach to stage design that is rooted in sculpture.

    • Irreverent of style and genre, DJ Botox is the new side project of the gender-subversive artist Born In Flamez, who is also one half of DJ duo Sick Girls.

    Loraine James returns to CTM in support of Reflection, her second album for Hyperdub. Having already crafted a sphere of her own, where intuition and emotion take precedence over conventions of genre, with Reflection James takes another striking step forward via productions that reflect her tumultuous inner world during lockdown. Navigating uncertainty, vulnerability, hope, feeling stalled, memories of shared social experiences, and complex feelings around reopening, the album »is both a call to change and a call to reflect; without the latter there can’t be the former, James says on this brave, ambitious, and challenging new album.« (The Quietus)

    boygirl collaborator Jennifer Walton stands out for her warped and wickedly sharp digital sounds. Her 2019 album White Nurse gained attention for its attempt to propose a more constructive and critical aesthetic to the power electronics genre, which often flirts with fascist imagery. 2020’s follow-up EP Flash On is a stripped-down venture into UK bass and dance music, filled with acid bass drops, dequantized breakdowns, and swung garage beats.

    Bedouin Records affiliate Aquarian will present a live audiovisual performance blending new material with his 2020 release, The Snake That Eats Itself. The project, art directed by artist and researcher Sougwen Chung, incorporates Chung’s visual explorations of the existing and potential interplay between humans, machines, and ecologies.

    Due to unforeseen circumstances, Nazar is unable to perform. Shapednoise will take the stage solo with his project »Overweight Sub Mutations,« an exploration of the diversity of contemporary rap, trap, textural noise, bass weight, abrasive transcendence, and the idiosyncratic ways sound design bleeds through its various styles.

    Ostbam brings with her an encyclopaedic collection of old school, high energy tunes ranging from gabber to italo disco.
