Nownois - based in London

We celebrate her new EP entitled Verses that will simply leave you spell bound.
Gennaro Sica, Owner of Z-Axis - based in London
ISO900 is the electronic music project of London-based Italian musician Mario Buoninfante (Isoneph, vdof) launched in 2022. His work explores the intersection of ambient techno, dub techno, and textural electronica, crafting soundscapes built from rhythm, resonance, and restraint. Drawing inspiration from the architecture of cities and the stillness between beats, ISO900 transforms minimal structures into immersive spaces. The project focuses on the crossover between bass music and beats, with a particular focus on low frequencies and heavier, darker sounds, organized in a raw and minimal way. His debut release, Concrete, introduces a refined sonic identity — deep, hypnotic, and designed for late-night listening and focused headphone moments.
Bartek (Lux) & Holy Holy - (Poland)
Ewa and Bartek, together, have already released a song "RUN!" which was part of a compilation “Music From Poland” released by Go Boys Records, the label owned by Tomasz Grochola of Agressiva69, and Tomasz Tumidajewicz (SmoGGG).
The BURN’s debut album Chopped and Shattered, features electronic compositions characterized by the 1990s electro beats (William Orbit, Kosheen), deep basslines, and atmospheric sound textures. BURN's vision is to create music in which every element is honed to perfection. Nothing is left to chance – the structure is well-thought-out, devoid of unnecessary sounds. The soulful, melodic vocals are enriched with experimentally chopped vocal samples.
