Sisso & Maiko
Sisso & Maiko's productions epitomize Singeli’s hyperlocal scenius, distilling the vitality and struggle of life of the fringes of the Swahili-speaking world’s most populous city, into a unique music which seems to reflect the idea of keeping a cool head in frenetic situations. Between their ratchet rhythms and pitched-up melodies there’s a sublime, unresolved tension at play, where the music feels to accelerate so fast that dancers are gliding, sustaining a breathlessly “up” effect that uncannily recalls mid ’90s UK happy hardcore as much as Chicago footwork, Caribbean Soca, and Shangaan disco, yet with a psychotomimetic appeal all of its own.

Saeko Killy
Japanese producer Saeko Killy returns for her second album "Dream In Dream" on Bureau B. In contrast to her first LP "Morphing Polaroids", on this deeply personal album, Saeko Killy takes full control of the creative process, writing and playing almost everything herself. The result is a mesmerizing collection of psychedelic electronics and drum machine workouts, carefully arranged to draw out their dream-like elements.

Thomash
Guided by a hedonistic attitude that stimulates individual and joint freedom of expression, his sound is a clever and unpretentious mix that combines slow melodic techno, krautrock, synthesizer layers, psychedelia, dub and ritualistic tropical rhythms.
