***CAMILLA SPARKSSS (Electro-Noise-Pop, CH)
Born Barbara Lehnhoff, Camilla Sparksss is a Swiss-Canadian electro-noise pop musician and visual artist, best known for her raw, high-energy performances. Also a co-founder of the post-punk band Peter Kernel, Sparksss was born at -27 degrees in Kenora, Ontario, where her childhood was filled with unique experiences—including having a pet bear and a father who flew a floatplane.
Her music fuses heavy beats pressed on dubplates, thick synth textures, and cutting vocals, crafting an unmistakable sound. Her debut album For You The Wild (2014) established her as a force in darkwave and experimental electronic music, earning her an opening spot for The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. Her follow-up album, Brutal (2019), delved deeper into experimental noise, later remixed in Brutal Remix (2020) by artists like Fakear and Rebeka Warrior.
In 2023, she toured extensively as the support act for A Place to Bury Strangers, spanning the UK and Europe. Her boundary-pushing collaborations continued, including a one-hour live composition for Ypsigrock Festival in Sicily with Alec Ounsworth (Clap Your Hands Say Yeah) and Eva Geist, which led to the release of The Sound of This Place (2022). That same year, she composed and performed music for Der Besuch der Alten Dame, a theatre production touring across Europe.

 

***KARL KAVE & DURIAN (solo, Post-Punk/NNDW, CH)
“Aus dem Patriarchat macht Gurkensalat!” (Turn the patriachy into cucumber salad!) Karl Kave & Durian are fond of polemic slogans, eventhough by closer listening one could notice their appetite for contractions and slippery terrains. After a detour into the world of Eurodance with ‘Auf der Suche nach der verlorenen Night’ (Young & Cold Records, 2023), the duo returned to their core business with ‘Wiener Linien’ (Young & Cold Records, 2024), somewhere between darkwave, post-punk and Neue Neue Deutsche Welle. They build on the sound of their first two albums ‘Ungestüme Reiter’ (Choléra Cosmique, 2020) and ‘Untergang und Finsternis’ (Detriti, 2021) and remain true to the principles of a certain ambiguity and openness for contradictions, but are not afraid to admit to doubts and existential fears. They hence achieve a balance between gentleness and bite, between punchline and poetry.
