Tushi Polo, Tony Renaissance, Mala Herba, Ironica Los Culos and Touched as Octopus will come together in a digital club on May 21.
The artists will experiment with different forms such as musical performance, skill sharing, visuals and artist talk, as well as scenarios and performative figures. The whole thing will oscillate between entertainment and manifesto, between stage and workshop where skills are shared - between strengthening a scene and creating networks.

TONY Renaissance
Tony Renaissance is a musician and artist whose work centers on radical soft explorations of sound, vocals and images with a big crush on experimental pop. As founder of the music label Tender Matter, co-founder of the event series The Future and member of the Sounds Queer? collective they are promoting and highlighting the work of queer and gender nonconforming artists in electronic music.
Tony Renaissance’s liquid emotional landscapes seduce the listener to pursue a queer and dynamic utopia. Their instrumentations are playful: here an angelic voice slips over somber beats and mystical sound-collages, a dizzy synthesizer pulses with the possibilities of an orchestral underscore.

MALA Herba
Mala Herba is a solo project of sound artist and queer music activist Zosia Hołubowska. Based on traditional music, magic, and demonology of Eastern Europe, Mala Herba's performances are sonic rituals. The music draws from dark wave and minimal synth-wave but sometimes the melody cracks, the voice becomes a magic spell and the song transforms into a noise soundscape. Polyrhythmic pulsations are stacked on top layers of harsh noiseand processed archival samples and then arpeggiated bass kicksin again and the music oscillates between haunted italo-disco and EBM. After being featured on compilations by labels such as DKA, Exilesa nd Total Solidarity by Oramics, Mala Herba released their debut LP "Demonologia" on [aufnahme+wiedergabe] in January 2021, followed by a digital EP "Omnia Vanitas" with two remixes and twocovers on the same label.
