@dazeinbed
Daze in Bed is a dreamgaze band from Rotterdam weaving lush, hypnotic dream pop soundscapes with a raw, shoegaze edge. Since forming in 2020 they’ve carved out a unique sonic world equal parts melancholic and euphoric, where hazy guitars, reverb-soaked vocals, and pulsing rhythms blur the line between dream and reality
@arc___vale
Arc Vale is a collaborative project between Zamity Mitelembe (formerly of Salutingrome) and Noah Dackus. A new ambitious project that pushes both artists into new creative territory. This project erupted into a stark exploration of sound that defies easy categorization. The result is a debut record that is both emotive and atmospheric.
@ampersand_the
&The
Partially rough-edged, partially intricate, &The weave songs with toil and care, like a sturdy and comforting hug or a blanket when you’re napping on the couch. On upcoming album Sunchoke &The show their versatility with slow, sad songs and fast, raw and rhythmic songs to bop to.

Seré is, alive. Alive in the characters she brings into flesh. They inhabit both ‘traditional’ spaces for culture as well as nightlife, in an attempt to build fluidities between them.
They are Rotterdam-based performer and lover of the monstrous, the hybrid, the disgustingly hot, the excitingly scary. Her work builds the other-worldly, as in, the other worlds we could imagine after and/or beyond this crumbling one by re-creating our mythological stories (i.e. capitalism, the patriarchy, etc etc etc)
