GIZEH RECORDS PRESENTS....
NADJA
Nadja is a duo of Aidan Baker and Leah Buckareff—active since 2005—making music which has been variosly described as ambient doom, dreamsludge, or metalgaze, a signature sound which combines the atmospheric textures of shoegaze, ambient, and electronic music with the heaviness and volume of metal, noise, and industrial music. Using electric guitars and a drum machine, the duo creates layered, dense, atmospheric music which juxtaposes melody and noise and demands the listener's attention as much as it embraces them within an immersive sonic environment.
Nadja has released numerous albums on several different underground labels—Alien8 Recordings,Daymare Records, Southern Lord, Hydrahead Records, Gizeh Records, Important Records, and their own imprint, Broken Spine Productions. The duo has toured extensively around the world—
including performances at such festivals as SXSW, FIMAV, NXNE, Roadburn, Donaufest, Le Guess Who, Incubate, and Unsound—and has shared stages with artists like Earth, Sunn O))), Tim Hecker, Khanate, Neurosis, and Godflesh.
Originally from Toronto, Canada, the duo now resides in Berlin, Germany.

A-SUN AMISSA
A-Sun Amissa are a group in a permanent state of metamorphosis, existing on the fringes of some kind of avant-rock, relentlessly searching out new angles and new directions to push the noise they create. A sound underpinned and overlaid with drones, moving in and around a diverse chasm of post-rock, melancholic doom, noise and ambient.
Led by Richard Knox since 2011 and now existing as a trio with Luke Bhatia and Claire Knox, A-Sun Amissa have a fiercely DIY approach to music that takes in recording, tour booking, artwork and putting out their own records via Richard’s Gizeh label that has been in operation since 2004.
