FAUZIA

Position: Producer
Email: kim@poly.am
Categories: Abstract, Ambient, Bass, Experimental

Producer based in the UK.

producer dj singer person.
FAUZIA first broke through as a DJ. Inspired by the interwoven legacies of fast music from either side of the Atlantic, her monthly NTS show sees her blend together the best of footwork, jungle and everything in between — with the likes of Mall Grab, Kode9, DJ Taye, Om Unit and Ikonika stopping in for guest spots. The start of 2020 saw FAUZIA start to showcase her own original music for the first time, first with a celebrated production mix for DISCWOMAN, and then with a contribution to the flagship 10th edition in HAUS of ALTR’s various artists series — picking up glowing press from Resident Advisor, Mixmag, DJ Mag, Crack, Pitchfork and more in the process. It was with a series of missives released during the pandemic that FAUZIA’s music really started to evolve – from the starry-eyed breaks of ‘Fragments’ through to ‘are you hoping for a miracle?’ and ‘time’, a pair of downtempo pop releases that saw FAUZIA sing on her material for the first time while also collaborating with Kelela and George Riley. Her new live show debuted at Wysing Polyphonic in the Summer of 2021, followed by appearances supporting Loraine James and Space Afrika. December 2021 saw FAUZIA sell out her first headline at Southbank Centre’s Purcell room, accompanied by her band.

Leese

Position: Producer
Email: leslie_deboeur@hotmail.com
Categories: Ambient, Bass, Breaks, Dubstep, Grime, Tribal

Producer based in Brussels, Belgium.

Leese is an electronic music producer from Brussels. Her artistic approach is to create a fusion between the different musical styles that influence her daily life since several years.Percussion with tribal sounds, a heaviness that we recognize in bass music, shifted and dancing rhythms — this is what qualifies the project of Leese.Sometimes oriental, sometimes cavernous and rhythmic voices will come to melt in this exhilarating mixture. Thanks to her job in the audiovisual industry, Leese also makes her own videos, in which she likes to search for the aesthetics of movement. It’s through dance that she will be able to stage her ideas and illustrate in an honest way the relationship she finds between movement and her music.

Mala Herba

Position: Producer
Email: malaherbamusic@gmail.com
Categories: Bass, Electro, Electronica, Industrial, Synthwave

Producer based in Vienna, Austria.

Mala Herba is a solo project of a sound artist and queer music activist Zosia Hołubowska. Based on traditional music, magic and demonology of Eastern Europe, Mala Herba explores queerness and sex-positivity. Powerful, witchy vocals are weaved into hypnotic beats, cold base lines and romantic synthesizer melodies. There’s something gothic and dramatic to it but nevertheless “this” makes you dance. Sometimes the melody cracks, the voice becomes a magic spell and the song transforms into a noise soundscape. But then the arppegio kicks back in and your bones resonate with the italo-disco inspired bass and rhythm.
