About the artists:
GOLDEN DISKÓ SHIP
Golden Diskó Ship is Theresa Stroetges, a Berlin-based multi-instrumentalist and video artist who performs live as a one-girl orchestra. Her imaginative soundscapes, shifting from delicate melodic lines steeped in nostalgia to the feedback arcs and textured distortion of machine abuse, evoke lucid dreams and have won critical praise for their fresh, eclectic collages of electronic and acoustic sound.

KINI RAO
Kini is a DJ, producer and mixed media artist whose sets accentuate the sounds she loves and in a broader sense fit into the zones of house and techno.
An avid collector of music – she started her career at venues like Zenzi Mills in her hometown Mumbai, gradually playing bigger and bigger floors including after hours sets at bar 25 Berlin and a live broadcast at Boiler Room. Kini’s music vision is to write, play and promote hi-fi music with a generous touch of lo-fi soul.

PLASTIC PARVATI
Plastic Parvati is Calcutta based musician Suyasha Sengupta’s solo venture into the world of electronic pop music which she uses as a platform to initiate conversation on healthy sexuality, gender binaries and de-stigmatising mental health concerns.
After releasing her debut record in collaboration with the celebrated producer Miti Adhikari in 2018, she has been focusing on her role as a music producer and activist, enabling dialogue through her experiences as a performer and a creator.
