About: Labasheeda

Labasheeda are an art-punk band from Amsterdam built around vocalist and violinist Saskia van der Giessen and guitarist Arne Wolfswinkel. Their music shifts between spacious bass-driven passages and heavy, guitar-led surges, with unorthodox time signatures and violin giving them a distinctive edge. The sixth album Blueprints, released in November 2023, drew wide praise from the international press.

About: Laokoon

The Brno pair Mikuláš Hamerla and Jiří Machů, operating as Laokoon, mix experimental rap with avant-garde and post-punk - fractured beats, Dadaist lyrics and a live intensity that has earned them a place on festival stages across the Czech Republic.

She is part of the noise trio SHLUK and the live-coding collective K-o-l-e-k-t-i-v.

About: Ctib

Ctib is the stage name of Daniel Stibor, a singer-songwriter from Rožnov pod Radhoštěm rooted in the local DIY hardcore punk scene. He started out as a folk-punk guitarist before finding his voice in what he calls "discoegopunk" - terse electronic beats paired with sharp, socially critical lyrics. His third album, Možná má někdo plán, came out on Brno's Kabinet Records.

About: Ministerstvo Obřany

Ministerstvo Obřany is an alternative rap ensemble from Brno, formed by poet Ondřej Hrabal, guitarist Zdeněk Butula, and producer Jan Kuchár. Their sound blends slide guitar, droning analogue synthesizer layers, and electronic beats, with vocals that move between rap and spoken word. Their debut album Pluto was released in 2025.
