SHY SHY BOY
SHY SHY BOY stands as Philipp Kieser’s unfiltered artistic manifesto, reverberating with the raw essence of his being. Within his debut opus, “UNMASKING,” produced alongside Bulgarian visionary artist Ivan Shopov, we embark on a profound voyage of introspection and contemplation, drawing upon the profound intricacies woven into the tapestry of his experiences throughout the past two decades. In a world governed by rigid societal constructs, we become unwitting captives of labels, suppressing our authentic desires and adorning masks that cloak our true selves. It is within this confounding labyrinth of conformity that SHY SHY BOY’s album emerges, a bold testament to the enduring spirit of rebellion and resurgence.
Through an unapologetic collision of sounds, “UNMASKING” defies conventional limits, infusing ambient soundscapes, distorted drone pads, and broken beat pieces that reverberate with audacious fervor. This audial rebellion serves as a rallying cry, urging us to shatter the shackles of conformity and embrace the unvarnished truth of our existence.
In the depths of “UNMASKING,” we discover an invitation to strip away the masks that conceal our authentic selves and venture into the boundless terrain of self-discovery. It is a clarion call to renounce the seductive allure of societal molds and surrender to the untamed authenticity that pulses within our veins. Within this audacious exploration, SHY SHY BOY unveils the unfiltered grit of suffering, intertwining it with profound emotional events, birthing a visceral experience that reverberates with cathartic potency.
“UNMASKING” by SHY SHY BOY serves as a gritty pilgrimage, where the dissonant melodies become our compass, guiding us through the treacherous landscapes of our souls. Within this aural tapestry, we encounter a potent alchemy that mends our fragmented spirits and liberates our dormant potential. It is an electrifying testament to the defiant resilience of the human spirit, challenging us to confront our masks, tear them asunder, and reclaim our autonomy.
STEEZY
BOI YOU SHOULD’VE KNOWN BY NOW, STEEZY DUZ IT !
Born and raised in the streets of Rotterdam, from a very young age, Steezy has spent a lot of his time curating music edits and involving himself with the local music scene in the Netherlands.

It was also the place where his passion for underground music grew. Spending most of his time in their headquarters, Steezy got inspired by techno, house & electro music and started to learn how to mix his favorite sounds like hardcore and jungle too.
Fast forwards to today, Steezy has become the founder of Malafide Records and has made a name for himself by playing at underground parties over the years. Running his own underground electronic label, as well as promoting his own events, these experiences have helped him evolve his style to include more techno, early rave, breakbeat, bootyhouse, jungle and drum & bass. With this evolution in style, his musical style consists of a perceptible sound journey that has also been featured on Operator Radio, Radio WORM, PRSPCT Radio and Radio Quantica — just to name a few.

ZOE MC PHERSON
Described as a “vanguard” by British publication Mixmag and “fearless” by
Hyponik, Berlin-based Zoë Mc Pherson is a French-Irish multimedia artist
whose practice absorbs elements of performance, sound design, installation
art and DJing. Their breathless third album “Pitch Blender” is a tight set of

space, and arrives courtesy of SFX, the boundary-pushing A/V-focused label

energy.

Cutting-edge sonics as the shifting of storms. Percussive and pulsating,
Zohar is known for a razor-sharp and highly dynamic club-signature.

which rattling low-end and rhythmic tension can be regarded as the
common denominators. Known for technical refinement and mixing
witchcraft, Zohar now intuitively seeks innovative and surprising
connections, both disorienting and exciting listeners in the process.
The artist’s sparse yet prolific output as a producer is best channeled
through the illustrious ZHR label. Its catalog consists of two DIY releases

with Clone Rotterdam. These highly personal records provide temporal
signs that define Zohar’s artistic development. Furthermore, works

Traumgarten (Flowers That Bloom At Midnight, 2020).
Quickly becoming a mainstay in the vital Dutch scene, Zohar has recently

Bitnet01 Crew
BitNet01 was born at the end of 2018 from the idea of some students, musicians, makers, programmers, and visual content-makers looking for a collective form of
artistic expression. We are digital natives who have come together to organize moments of self-education and enjoyment of performances that fall within the sphere
of new media art. Our way of functioning reflects the rhizomatic horizontality by organizing itself as a
non-directional flow of ideas and contents. As a crew, we want to create a dynamic experience based on recycling, electronic
music, visual arts, creative coding, performances, and exchange between people,
over every boundary!
