Minami Deutsch is a krautrock band from Tokyo, Japan. Known as self-proclaimed “repetition freaks,” the band draws inspiration from psychedelic rock and minimal techno, but their true obsession lies in krautrock—a fact hinted at by their name, which translates to “South Germany.”  
Founded by Kyotaro Miula in 2014, the band began by performing live on the bustling streets of Tokyo. Since then, they have released three albums through their  local friend's label Guruguru Brain. Their hypnotic, motorik-driven sound has taken them across Europe and the United States, where they’ve shared stages with artists like Damo Suzuki, the former vocalist of the legendary krautrock band CAN.
Their third studio album, *Fortune Goodies* (2022), is a deep dive into the rich legacy of krautrock. Drawing from Miula's expanded musical vocabulary after relocating from Tokyo to Berlin, the album offers a uniquely Japanese perspective on encyclopedia of Krautrock. In 2024, Minami Deutsch completed two North American tours, including supporting Earthless and performing at the Levitation Festival, further cementing their place as a leading voice in modern kraut/psychedelic music.

Weite is an instrumental psychedelic/progressive rock band from Berlin, Germany. Blending elements of psychedelic exploration, progressive complexity, electronics and cinematic soundscapes, the band crafts sonic journeys that will appeal to listeners of challenging, intricate rock music.

Despite their young age, the brothers Boris and Sigi Willems and drummer Seppe Camps from Hugs of the Sky already have quite an impressive curriculum vitae: since 2018 they released four full albums and went on five European tours. On one of these, they supported the legendary 80s band Sisters of Mercy: they received a personal invitation from the Lord of Darkness himself, Andrew Eldritch. In the beginning of 2023 the Limburgers headed again into the studio to record an EP, this time with Kasper De Sutter (El Yunque) and Frederik Tack behind the buttons, known for some as the 'Asterix and Obelix' of the Belgian music production scene. On this EP, mastered by the Australian Joe Carra (King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard), the psychotic stoner punk of Hugs of the Sky sounds equally freaky and accessible!
