Lisbon based ODETE works between writing, music, performance and visual arts - her work is explicitly autobiographic, making clear the border between the personal and politics. She describes her music as a sensorial theory for a weary girlhood - a ghost warrior that becomes visible through mixing.

Odete is a SHAPE platform 2021 artist.

CLARA! does heterogeneous tempo hopping mixes, with music from different origins and cultural environments, lead by curiosity, humour and a strong love for dance. Her recent collabs with Maoupa Mazzocchetti and Pearson Sound defy any categories. Expect a blend of Galician folk and industrial reggaeton.

YCS is one of Bucharest’s freshest talents to rise from the female identified Corp. platform. Going from club, bass, ballroom, gqom, and reggaeton to hardstyle and thrash and switching from trap to pop and r&b. Expect irregular, dark, or heavy vibes – but not always.

TIANZHUO CHEN’s latest video The Dust presents a performance that situates farming tools and ceremonial objects as the primary protagonists, while humans remain noticeably absent. The artist’s lens shifts from the water-powered prayer wheels in Cuogao Village to the celestial burial ground at Damu Temple, telling a story from the beginning of life, evolution, and blooming desires to perishing bodies, through shots of farming and ceremonial relics.

Indonesia’s hard dance superstars GABBER MODUS OPERANDI present their latest 3D-animated performance MBELEDOSSS! (EXPLODE!). This AV mixtape, soundtracked by their singular brand of hard, fast dance music, tells an intergalactic story through a video game aesthetic powered by local symbols: an envoy of humanoids with their fleet of spaceships are being sent on Earth to observe and nurture peculiar cultures born out of tension and hardships.
