Mietze Conte is an artist hailing from Vienna, Austria. Since exploding onto the scene in 2022 with debut track ‘bunnybunnybunny’ and debut EP “Nervous”, they’ve pioneered an eclectic and uninhibited electronic movement, writing and producing truly unique music.
2023 saw Mietze Conte release two EPs — “Under my Bed” and “dreaming of your latte art”
— both of which achieved millions of streams and saw people across the world connecting
with the world Mietze Conte had started to create. Alongside these releases, Mietze Conte
debuted their live set in Tokyo. 2024 saw Mietze Conte performing a sold-out run of shows in Australia, alongside 1tbsp. This was followed by a selection of performances across Europe and the UK, and a lot of new music. July saw the release of their debut album “Mietzee”, followed shortly by ambient album “ee oo” and finally a collaborative effort with Otto Benson, “Hobby’s” — shared at 11:59 on the last day of 2024. Mietze Conte continued on the live front between these releases, with another sold-out Australian tour, a second performance in Tokyo, and a debut performance in Seoul.
Now, Mietze Conte is sharing the first offering of new music for 2025, with ‘knows’ — a
euphoric track that dips its toes into the world of indie electronic..

✦ Yawning Portal (live) ✦
Yawning Portal is an opening to other worlds: a transmutation: a prayer.
they wake with the taste of static on their tongue. echoes decay: the thread thins…
there was never a first note. it flowed like water through the spaces between, folding, unfolding, listening to itself. they released their debut EP Heart and Earth in 2020 via PLZ Make it Ruins and have since released singles via Odyxxey, Slagwerk, Club Paradiso & 29 Speedway and just announced their album on YEAR0001. they scored Lydia Ourahmane’s immersive installation Survival in the Afterlife at Portikus, Frankfurt alongside an hourlong digital release Notice the Direction of Fires and collaborated with Ourahmane again to score the film Tassili; the film has since been presented at museums and institutions internationally. since 2020 they have hosted under sleepy moon, a monthly show on NTS radio.
Yawning Portal's debut album, Anywhere, released in November 2025 on Stockholm's YEAR0001 label. Intended as a continuous listening experience, Anywhere conveys the mood of untetheredness in a world of hyperconnection and folly. To be anywhere is to be simultaneously everywhere and nowhere.

✦ Lipstick Music (live) ✦
Lipstick Music is an electronic duo, composed by Lili Molli Shina and Dj Kit (previously ⅓ of PC Music’s Planet 1999) both based in Brussels. Freshly formed, their project is still in the process of coming out. Their music mixes pop and heavy bass lines, all accompanied by Lili’s glamorous vocals. DJ Kit always uses the same sound palettes, echoing a rock approach with a limited set of sounds. The main focus is on loops and deconstructed compositions, all with a raw and emotional identity.
▬▬▬▬▬
✦ Lux18 ✦
Lucas aka lux18 is born and raised in Paris. His style research has kept evolving since then. His indescribable musical productions are fusions of this sonic exploration, euphoric , experimental, deconstructed club and trap, nevertheless keeping this bright energy typical of EDM music. Besides his DJ sets, Lux18 keeps exploring through a multifaceted live project
▬▬▬▬▬
✦ Otis ✦
Otis is the founder of Slagwerk, a Brussels-based label notorious for their parties, bringing together the ever-surprising stretches of contemporary music – its history includes James Ferraro, Amnesia Scanner, Crystallmess, Oli XL, Varg2TM, Sky h1 and Vegyn. – and a delight in the many faces of club, never disconnected from the families it fosters. That partying is not something one should take lightly, understands Slagwerk like no other, showing that only in its experimental and dynamic embrace one can escape both nightlife’s over-intellectualizing and too- trivializing impulses. At Slagwerk, and so too in Otis’ continuous escapades as a DJ, the trivial is never just banal, the poppy never just popular, but the cutting-edge never turns pose either. In Otis’ sets, rigid conceptions of music are left aside, cul-de-sacs explored conditionally through humor, affect and instinct alike. Staying true to the thrill and shuffled spirit of online musical discovery, sound and songs connect and disconnect, flow and disrupt, genres are exploited and transgressed, melody seduced and swept.
