The Lowdown: Bonebrokk
My research tells me that Greece, Athens in particular, had one of its biggest electronic music moments in 2011. It was with the help of Swaf who released the LP ‘Flaws’ and marked a new era for the industrial scene. And despite the economic crisis, nowadays the scene in Athens is building up, with the
Forest Drive West: Parallel Space

The Lowdown: Minimal Violence
Hailing from Vancouver, Minimal Violence have been quietly releasing records as a duo since 2016.

Instantly entranced by their unique blend of hardcore, punk and techno, ‘InDreams’ is
Credit 00: “One of the best things about music for me is that you can escape from wherever you are situated physically and go on a mind trip through the entire universe and back.”
Being a creative is easy for some people. It’s not something they longed for but rather something that chose them – it’s their calling in life. This goes for Credit 00 who is not only an incredible musician but also a skilful graffiti artist. Whilst studying fine arts, Credit 00 became immersed in the world

Master of the warm-up, with a talent for both short, intense sets and long building ones – its no surprise this DeSchool resident has become a favoured face among Amsterdam’s party faithful, and the twenty years she’s spent behind the decks is evident in her chronicled selections. The De School resident can usually be expected to play
