BCUC
The afro-psychedelic septet BCUC (Bantu Continua Uhuru Consciousness) resides in a flourishing DIY area just a stone’s throw from the church where Desmond Tutu organized the escape for the most wanted anti-apartheid activists in Soweto, South Africa. And it’s not entirely coincidental. BCUC sees their music as hedonistic trance, but also as a weapon for political and spiritual liberation in line with previous generations’ struggle for justice.
BCUC’s sound is both contemporary and original, confident and empowering. It’s packed with funky grooves and hip-hop sensibility, but also repetitive bass riffs, flutes, and galloping percussion, as an unwavering tribute to the hope and fighting spirit of previous generations. The group sings and chants loudly about the harsh realities faced by poor workers in South Africa, but at the same time, the homeland, as portrayed by BCUC, is not poor but rich in tradition, rituals, and faith. When BCUC performs live, they pull the audience right into the trance.

Ebi Soda
Ebi Soda are a six-piece jazz group that never intended on playing jazz music. Initially interested in genres ranging from krautrock, no-wave, and trap, Ebi Soda’s instrumental approach to improvising in these styles led to their own brand and attitude to jazz.
Their style is characterised by erratic drum-breaks and funk-friendly basslines, which lay a foundation for searing brass, melodic keys, angular guitar, and heavy electronic multi-effect soundscapes.
A product of the Soundcloud era, Ebi Soda maintains a strong DIY ethic. Rarely venturing into a professional studio, the band started recording music in 2017, in their sweaty, smokey university bedrooms and continue to keep their creative process confined to sweaty, smokey, post-university bedrooms, resulting in 3 albums and 3 EPs across 9 years.
Edredon Sensible

In their music we find ardour and faith, body and mind.

This spring will see the light of their first EP, Suau, from which they have already advanced the first single of the same name, recorded live by eight musicians walking in synergy by analogue textures and real sonorities. All accompanied by a fresh, vibrant live performance with a sound that moves away from what is usually heard on the stages of the territory.

old. From early on, she has been in contact with music from all over the world, expanding
her horizons through her research as an anthropologist.
Her interest in ethnomusicology combined with her academic background in music has
led her to curate parties in Barcelona, and to be part of music research projects that seek to promote non-mainstream vinyl music and cultural exchange.
She is also part of Eck Echo records, a record label and platform for (Afro) Latin culture and

WheelUP
In every crooked groove, low-down bass lick and honey-coated chord, WheelUP’s vital new twist on broken beat brings a fresh energy to the quintessential West London sound. As a producer, DJ and band leader, Danny Wheeler has shaped out WheelUP as the next logical step on his journey through underground Black British music.
It’s a journey that started as a young teenager knocking around Ladbroke Grove in West London in the breakthrough era of jungle. Wheeler was picking up on the sped-up breaks and otherworldly atmospheres spilling out of studios into raves and onto pirate radio airwaves. Soon, he was actively swept up in the clandestine culture, bagging his first sets on local pirates long before he could legally step inside the clubs.
As the sound evolved, Wheeler naturally pursued his passion into the D&B community centred around Movement’s legendary Thursday nights at Bar Rumba in Brixton. The deeper he got into the scene, the more he valued the multi-cultural quest for uncompromising innovation and unapologetic expression. Managing Infrared for J. Majik, honing his craft as a DJ and eventually progressing to production with a then-unknown Sub Focus, Wheeler’s life was totally immersed in the music.

kiw
KIW defines itself as an e-jazz trio, a genre that fuses jazz, funk and hip-hop with electronic music. KIW are Pau, Artur and Ferran, saxophonist, drummer and bassist respectively, three musicians who first trained in Barcelona and who now continue their studies in the USA, at the Berklee College of Music in Boston and at the New School in NYC.
The trio has always been clear that they wanted to escape from conventional jazz. And electronic music was the way to do it. Mirrored by Triphasic, the jazz trio of Llibert Fortuny, Gary Willis and David Gómez, were clear from the beginning that they wanted the fourth member of the band to be the computer. A computer that gives them the power to move between the richness and essence of improvised music and that they also use as a visual support in their concerts, projecting images designed for their songs, which make their live shows a much more impactful experience.
“We want to break the idea of the artist on stage and their distant relationship with the audience. We much prefer the idea of inviting someone to have an experience with us, a more holistic process, where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts, creating community.”
nun
Núria Fossas i Mallorquí is the singer and main composer behind NUИ, a project born in 2021 due to her musical and personal concerns. Together with Maria Oliver Casademont, guitarist and musician with whom she has played for years, they find themselves in the same line of musical tastes and interests that leads them to explore and share compositional ideas.
After a few months and a lot of music together, the idea of NUИ was born, a project under the name and face of the singer, but with the unmistakable stamp of Oliver, co-composer of a large part of the songs and guitarist of the band, also formed by Elisabet Pons (keyboard), Alberto Solé (Drums) and Pau Rosés (Bass and synthesizer).
This idea continues to grow, until it is brought to a stage for the first time in June 2022, as part of the Sona9 emerging artists competition, in Barcelona.
From here, they will continue touring throughout Catalonia, participating in various festivals and programs: “Floral” in Vilassar de Dalt, “A Prop” in Girona, “Les Foodgonetes” in Agramunt, “Músiques Tranquil·les” in Mataró… among others.
Currently, NUИ has released their first album called AÜC, a work that includes all the most personal aspects of the artist and that will serve as a letter of introduction within the world of Catalan songwriting.

They make their own instruments from recycled objects and explore sound textures to produce experimental Afro-pop with a punk energy between electro and Congolese rhythms.
The lyrics in Ingala (one of the most spoken languages in Congo) cross several themes of hope and perseverance. A tribute to itinerant workers, a song against the war in Congo, a cry of encouragement to the youth of Kinshasa… During the period when there were power cuts in Congo, itinerant oil vendors brought people everything they needed to produce light. The sound of the boxes they carried rang out “kingongolo, kingongolo, kingongolo…”.
