    alys is a true innovator of musical storytelling with an added touch of humour. Making clever use of vinyl sampling inside Ableton, electronic drums and field recordings, alys’ constantly unfurling, pivoting style reflects the theme of her radio show on Mutant Radio, »short attention span«. Her 2019 EP percussive thoughts paved the way from rhythmic, atmospheric productions into her experimental, free jazz and electronic EP is it all simulation improvisation?, released in 2021.

    While he is at home in Berlin’s underground rap scene, newcomer Haxan aims for a balancing act to eschew genres, creating moody mixtapes that show his fascination and expansion into metal, alternative, and hardcore sounds in the spirit of Digital Hardcore Recordings.

    Duma is a grindcore and doom duo working on the fringes of Kenya’s thriving metal scene. Their unique blend of acid doom lyrics and polyrhythmic drum patterns are warped into a frenzy of noise and drones.

    An affiliate of Nyege Nyege and Kampala’s female DJ collective 4manysisters, Turkana fiercely connects left-field electronics, hard dance, techno, and other sounds from the underground. A riotous synthesis spanning hardcore punk, digital metal and grindcore to electronic sub genres like gabber, jungle and footwork – Machine Girl’s post-digital cosmos confronts the terrifying power systems of today from the vantage point of an extraterrestrial antifascist entity. The duo’s unrestrained and cathartic live performances have gathered together a diverse cult following of ravers, punks and metalheads – a testimony to the collective force of their music. Following tours all over the US, their participation in CTM Festival marks their first appearance in Europe.

    Aïsha Devi brings a hypnotic DJ set that takes influences from her interests in dark trance, abrasive techno and the transcendental qualities of Tuvan throat singing.

    Named one of the most influential DJs in the underground music scene by Mykki Blanco, DJ, producer, boss of Naive records, co-founder of Rádio Quântica, and mina resident Violet has been shaking up Lisbon’s nightlife culture with her talent for elegantly blending techno with breakbeats and acid basslines.

    Louisahh brings punk, hard techno and electro in her ferocious rave-oriented sets. Channelling darker moods into personal transformative potential, the uncompromising and outspoken DJ/producer co-runs RAAR records with Maelstrom aiming to bring »techno for punks and punks for techno.«
