HAÏXKICK
HaïXkicK is a group of grindcore / power violence from brussels. the band consists of 2 members: 1 drummer / singer and 1 guitarist.
The group’s compositions melt from fast and brutal passages to long and aggressive passages.
MIKI YUI
Cuspeditions warmly welcomes Japanese artist Miki Yui to the label, with a work delicately crafted from field recordings, synthesizer, solar oscillator and sampler.
Yui is known for the unique nature of her music (apparent also in past collaborations with Rolf Julius, Rie Nakajima and Klaus Dinger), and whilst Mills retains the subtlety and sensuousness of her earlier works, these new coherent and lucid compositions are charged with a narrative tension we’ve not heard before.
CARL STONE
Carl Stone (born Carl Joseph Stone, February 10, 1953) is an American composer, primarily working in the field of live electronic music. His works have been performed in the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia, Australia, South America, and the Near East.
Stone utilizes a laptop computer as his primary instrument and his works often feature very slowly developing manipulations of samples of acoustic music, speech, or other sounds. Because of this, as well as his preference for tonal melodic and harmonic materials similar to those used in popular musics, Stone’s work has been associated with the movement known as minimalism.
TZITZIMIME
Tzitzimime, a female duo of Power Electronics injected with Death Metal and Harshnoise, formed by Alessia Mercado (growling, screamings) and Andrea Nucamendi (distorted feedbacked electronics) in Geneva, Switzerland since 2017
The duo is inspired by the Aztec mythology, intend to recreate an apocalypse as female stelar demons
DEATH IN VEGAS
Death in Vegas are an English electronic music group, headed up by Richard Fearless. Influenced by a wide range of musical genres including psychedelic rock, electronica, krautrock, dub and industrial, the band’s sound is constantly changing, moving between live rock sounds, electronica and minimal techno
INSINGIZI
This extraordinary trio from Bulawayo, Zimbabwe offers uplifting performances filled with harmonious a cappella singing, traditional chants, hand percussion, and superb choreography. Their songs possess a gentleness and honesty that stir the soul, conveying a wide range of challenges facing people today. Insingizi music is filled with hope, optimism and faith.
SEIVA
Seiva started their career in 2014 with the purpose of creating a musical project totally focused on the music of oral tradition from Portugal. Heirs of the now defunct Dazkarieh, Vasco Ribeiro Casais and Joana Negrão brought to Seiva their will to explore more and more the traditional music from Portugal.Their wish was to create a group starting from the premise to look deeply into the less explored portuguese rural heritage, unveiling the portuguese soul present in worksongs, old pilgrimage chants, songs of faith and deep within portuguese traditional instruments such as the adufe, the tambourine, cavaquinho, viola braguesa or portuguese bagpipes alonside their own original songs, mixing it with subtle electronic ambiances with no compuction or purism, giving tradition the center stage wihtin the urban context, renewing ancient traditions, showcasing them to the World.

He wrote music for cabaret, theatre and film, acted on the theatre stage and in films, and founded bands performing in a wide variety of styles (from progressiv folk to electronic).

His music was heard at a number of contemporary festivals in austria, such as Steirischer Herbst, Klangspuren Schwaz.
Martin Philadelphy is Austrians most unique and peculiar music leader of independent jazz, impro, electronic pop and special performances. The Press considered Martin Philadelphy to be Austrians „Frank Zappa » reminded of sly stripped down music of Tom Waits.
His musical career started more than 18 years ago with an bad accident on his bike, intended to give him a boot following his profession and astonishing talent. This moment should be a sign of life. Philadelphy got a guitar and started to perform, sing, compose and produce.
SIMISKINA
Simsikina is now performing its music on analog synthesizers, electronics and electric bass, and teaming up with french film maker and visual artist Xavier Quérel, known from the audiovisual noise-collective Metamkine. Xavier is included within Simiskina as a sort of third musician, working with images instead of sound. He is using a 16mm film projector, and different techniques to manipulate image and light, to improvise a film which is projected on a small screen, resulting in an intimate screening in dialogue with Simiskina’s music.
KAWA BROTHERS
The Kawa Brothers are heirs to a musical tradition that has been passed down in the family for seven generations, and which originates in Rajasthan(Gokulpura). Mosin Kawa (tablas), Shahid Kawa (vocals and harmonium) and Yunus Kawa (sarangi) were born in Jaipur, and were trained by their father, Ustad Shabbir Ahmed, and their grandfather, the famous Ustad Bashir Khan. They count in their family of musicians like Ustad Sultan Khan, sarangi player known worldwide with which Yunus also studied. The Kawa Brothers gave many concerts, both in India and in Europe in recent years, Mosin Kawa, artistic director of the group, also has to his credit numerous collaborations with renowned artists from the jazz and world international music scene, as Khaled, Omar Sosa, David Murray, Vincent Segal.
JAAP BLONK, MICHAEL ZERANG, CAR LUDWIG HÜBSCH (Usa/Netherlands/Germany)
Carl Ludwig Hübsch and Jaap Blonk have been playing together since 2001. In this trio they both use two microphones. The tuba has one at the bell and one near the valves, and Blonk sometimes uses his ‘cheek synthesizer’ techniques, where he sends different sounds from the two corners of his mouth.
So they creatively use the stereo possibilities to make improvised soundscapes.
Michael Zerang and Jaap Blonk’s collaboration goes back even further, to 1996. They played in different European countries and several times in the USA.
All three of them are seasoned improvisers and use their respective instruments in very special and unique ways. Together they make a dynamic and always surprising kind of music.
Please here some bands and artists I alm offerring this week.

ALVIN YOUNGBLOOD HART
Alvin Youngblood Hart (born Gregory Edward Hart), a self-taught guitarist, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, helped lead a younger generation of creative blues artists during the 1990s. Similar to artists such as Keb’ Mo’ and Corey Harris, the free-spirited, Memphis-based musician with a solid foundation in the blues wrote and performed songs personalized with his own insights and experiences. Moreover, Hart’s musical influences extended beyond the confines of the blues, as did those of blues veteran Taj Mahal, who viewed the blues as a world music rather than an American genre. Borrowing techniques from an array of artists such as rock guitarist Jimi Hendrix to alternative bluesman Captain Beefheart, Hart developed an eclectic blues style that included elements of western swing, pop, reggae, and rock.
JESSE OSBORNE-LANTHIER
Unlimited by musical genre and the confines of musicality itself,Lanthier’s sound operates through contrasts: from subtle to
textured, from structured to fluid, from symphonic to dissonant, comic to tragic, from minimal to intricate, his works are at once present, futuristic and imtemporal. He creates hybrids of languages through the use of current technologies and techniques, maintaining a taste for intens ty as a tool for immersive engagement.
SUSANNA
It’s an eclectic lineup, although Wallumrød’s unwavering approach to her source material means that the differences between post-punk Manchester, 1970s New York, and Elizabethan England are rendered largely moot. Taken individually, her bare renditions of “Cold Song,” “The Willow Song,” and “Lilac Wine” are beguiling. But the sparse instrumentation puts too much responsibility on Wallumrød’s vocals, whose crystal-clear tone, evoking icy rivers and Nico’s doomed romanticism, feels one-dimensional over the course of an album. It is telling that the one song where she sings with a smidgen more warmth and energy, a gently rolling cover of Elizabeth Cotten’s “Freight Train,” proves to be one of the most engaging.
EUGENE CHADBOURNE
Chadbourne is a great songwriter and a true banjo virtuoso. His inclination to experimentation draws on his love of traditional country and bluegrass. The way he can scoop up techniques and then have them resurface in unexpected guises is part of what made his performance so engaging.
BABA SISSOKO
Baba Sissoko (born 8 March 1963) is a Malian musician (tamani, ngoni, kamale ngoni, bala, calabass) and vocalist. Sissoko is a master of the talking drums (the tamani).
Born and raised in Timbuktu,[1] from childhood, he played tamani, often accompanying the traditional female griot during wedding and other traditional ceremonies.
