ALLEY CATSS
Alley Catss is a Budapest-based experimental electronic musician and visual artist. Since 2011, it has developed an eclectic style by blending ambient and abstract sounds with dance music genres like techno, jungle, and juke, often exploring themes of emptiness and theatricality within virtual and digital contexts. Their live performances emphasize improvisation and spontaneity.

STURMHERTA
STURMHERTA’s RESi operates at the edge of sound art and post-club experimentation — a dense, tactile work shaped by physical feedback, resonant bodies, and sculptural approaches to composition. Created through live performance, re-recording, and sonic manipulation of objects like cymbals and snares, the album renders digital synthesis into raw, spatial sound. Released by phonon~, a label and collective dedicated to marginal music and media art practices, RESi embodies a shared search for new listening environments and embodied sonic experience.

YIBAI
yibai (Dávid Gerlei) is a Budapest-based artist blending experimental ambient with contemporary classical elements.

After the harsher Force Quit (temporary nites), he returned to EXILES with Hatch + Foster, and recently opened for Ryoji Ikeda and Ben Frost.

THEYA
THEYA has been a prominent figure on the bass scene in Czech republic since 2008. Moving fluently in between the fast-paced genres like dnb she's also diving into the domain of slower tempo of house and so. Being a first-in-the list choice for local support of big industry names (such as a recent legendary Flowdan's visit to Fuchs2), she's engaged in travelling for international gigs as well.

mʊdʌki
In her DJ sets, mʊdʌki channels the spirit of ‘90s raves she never lived, blending jungle, dubstep, juke, and experimental electronics with leftfield techno. A founding member of phonon~ crew, she promotes sound art and experimental music in the Czech Republic. She has also appeared on Keep Hush, linking her work to the wider bass music community.

Kazpa
Active since 2002, DJ Kazpa moves across the spectrum of jungle, rave, hardcore, dub, and roots — blending broken rhythms with sharp edits and deep bass pressure. Known for high-intensity sets packed with raw energy, he delivers a no-compromise ride through the rougher edges of sound system culture.
