SHYBOI is a Jamaican born, New York based multidisciplinary artist. SHYBOI is the moniker she uses to cause sonic disruption. As a creative positioned between Caribbean and American culture, she uses sound to interrogate ideas of identity, notions of power, perceived histories and the entanglements that happens within these topics. She is also member of the queer artist collective #KUNQ whose ethos is centered around the production of multidimensional work through sound, visual and performance art while expanding the discourse surrounding the subcultures and genres that have become diluted or obscured in the name of hybridity. SHYBOI has three Boiler Room sets under her ever widening belt as well as two performances at MoMA PS1 and a sold out show at the Guggenheim. Recent sounds have been featured in Fact Mag, Thump, Rinse FM, MixMag, Resident Advisor and the Fader.

Iku is an artist and musician based in Frankfurt. Her music mirrors cyclical processes and investigates the tension between narratives about lived experiences and the decay of memory. Her most recent release for Genot Centre Fugue: Some Temporal Patterns Other Than the Forward March was named one of the ten best tapes by The Quietus. She has also released music on AMEN and been featured by Disc Magazine.

kanalak is a DJ duo consisting of 41ISSA and Kanucia. With roots in eastern Europe and south-east Asia, their sets mine for contradictions and inspiration in difference in order to challenge their listeners. Their event series Palmoil attempts to defy conventions and provide a platform for experimentation.

Avbvrn is a producer, composer and DJ born in California and based in Frankfurt. His work is situated at the intersection between experimental, club and classical music. He has most recently released music on JEROME as well as Decisions and Intruder Alert and has been featured in FACT Magazine "For Club Use Only" as well as Mixmag's Essential Listening. His event series Nancy focuses on giving marginalized voices a space for free expression and supporting radical innovation.
