SKEE MASK (DE)
Ilian Tape
Skee Mask (born Bryan Müller, already active as SCNTST since 2011) has quickly established himself as one of the most important producers of the last decade. His artistic output on the Zenker Brothers’ Ilian Tape has seen him, over the course of nine years, three albums, eleven EPs and two collections, evolve from the label’s secret weapon to its flagship talent, eventually releasing milestones of the electronics like the second album “Compro” (2018).
His productions revolve around UK hardcore mythology and early 90s ambient techno atmospheres, yet sounding fresh, new and like none other than Skee Mask himself. His breakbeats, the pillar of his compositions, are developed with surgical attention, but warm melodies and immersive atmospheres develop around them.
In his works we see him starting from the broken techno of which Ilian Tape has become a forerunner to develop a synergy from release to release involving jungle, IDM, ambient, unsuspected four to the floor techno and, more recently, also moments of inspiration funk. His DJ sets perfectly reflect his eclectic soul and equally effectively synthesize his multiform inspirations in an overwhelming, hypnotic narrative that always leaves you glued to the dancefloor.

INNER LAKES (IT)
Timeless / Survive
Inner Lakes roams the darkest shades of electronica, unearthing music past and present with tireless dedication. His selections have a mystical touch and range from deep and energetic sounds to touching the strings of ecstatic nostalgia.
His djing skills, developed over the years as a Macao resident, give life to sets with a shocking flow, characterized by a punk attitude and a perennial element of surprise: anything can happen, nothing is off limits. The end result is a unique and personal sound, which through podcasts and his productions has earned him the support of artists such as Jane Fitz and Francesco Del Garda, as well as numerous bookings throughout Europe for realities such as Tresor, Club der Visionaere, Loud Contact and Paradigm.
His latest EP, “Alternate Realities, released on Francesco del Garda’s Timeless in 2022, is one of Craig Richards’ favorites and sold out in just one day, causing a lot of talk in the digger community.

BLACK ZONE MYTH CHANT (FR)
Winged Sun / Editions Gravats
Maxime Primault is a French musician who has been active for two decades, initially under the name of High Wolf, as well as founder of the Winged Sun label. Black Zone Myth Chant is one of his many musical identities, focused on dub and psychedelic sounds.
The first album of the project, “Straight Cassette”, was released in 2011 and its amalgam of hip hop beats and experimental sounds earned him a solid fanbase among nerds, giving way to the work being reissued on vinyl a couple of years later for larger audiences. From 2015 to 2017, two albums and an EP were released on Low Jack’s Edition Gravat; in them the sound of BZMC mutates into a singular synthesis of experimental electronics, syncopated grooves, dub basslines, hypnotic vocals and industrial sounds.
The aesthetic range of the project extends further in 2019 with “Voyage Sacrifice”, a spiritual ambient LP released by Félicia Atkinson’s Shelter Press. Last year the EP “IN D EV IL” was released on Winged Sun, which fully embraces bass music assuming the guise of a narcotic and disorienting dubstep.

AURAL STREAM (EN)
Wetware Echo
Aural Stream is the natural evolution of the paths of Wavefold (Filippo Nunziale) and Coeden (Giulio Spampinato). Already collaborators both in the studio and in the DJ booth, they mix their sounds and influences in a narrative that flows from dub echoes to accelerated breakbeats.
In 2022 their first EP “Illusion” was released on Wetware Echo, a label created by the duo that fits into the bass music continuum, drawing inspiration from sci-fi and cybernetic culture.
