Tes Damen is Rotterdam’s most elusive debutant who curiously released two different albums (his debut "Rotterdam Sob" and its follow-up "Urn" on the same day in 2021. This year, Tes Damen has joined The Wet Elders, who have come to meet the moments of abrasive post-punk and jagged guitar sounds that pierce through its mellow membrane. The band's sound has never been more muckier. Expect surrealistic images, bleak narratives, sparse songs and drifting genres.

Rotterdam's king of harmonic pop dissonance returns to the stage. What is there to say about Harry Merry which isn't already considered common knowledge? Singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, entertainer; Harry Merry's artistry is unique in its own right.

Rotterdam-based artist Mono-Poly (aka Dennis Verschoor) has made quite a name for himself as an expert in modular synths. In the past 15 years or so, he amassed a synth/electronica collection and often picks a few of these instruments/machines to perform with at live shows. Dennis is also known as the founder of the Noodlebar: an event series that represents a dedicated synth scene in the Netherlands. Mono-poly now focuses on making electronic music with test equipment (similar to the way they did in the big sound studio’s of the 50s and 60s).

Ash Kilmartin is an artist from Aotearoa, New Zealand, currently based in Rotterdam. She works in sculpture and performance, with ongoing projects in sound, broadcast and publishing as modes of collaboration and distribution. Her recent work is concerned with the speaking voice as tool for finding and making public space. Her work addresses the way the voice operates the distinction between private and public; being the hinge between the physical material of the body, and the social fabric of language. She is interested in gendered characterisations of the speaking body; in non-linguistic vocalisations as communication; and in how the voice can be translated into orthography, texture, or space.
