20:00 / Oto Ninski
Oto Ninski is a sound artist and experimental musician. Diverse and raw in her practice, her surrealist explorations of contrasts and the spaces they reveal transcend genres and take on many forms. Through various sound-sculpting techniques, from field recording to the sound barrier, she seeks out vibrational extremes in her work, aiming for an abstract and sensory narrative.
21:00 / Mel Keane
Mel Keane is a composer, visual artist, and designer from Dublin, Ireland. Over the last several years, he has been an active practitioner and audience member within the DIY music scenes of Ireland, Lisbon, and Amsterdam. He has released several records, primarily on Irish label wherethetimegoes, and performed live extensively across the continent of Europe in venues such as Cafe OTO (London), Les Instants Chavires (Paris), Cosmos CAC (Lisbon), and The National Concert Hall of Ireland (Dublin) under his birth name, as Frog of Earth, and as a member of Princ€ess (ensemble) and NECK (duo with Seán Being).
For the last two or so years, he has been researching and making work in response to the pipe band tradition of Ireland (bagpipe and snare drum military adjacent marching bands). His new record, PIPEWORX, on Deardogs came as a result of this research. For this show, he will play the record live using DIY chanter pipes, software, and electronics.
22:00 / ZULU
“With all my scars I can see the light.” These words, which open his latest EP scar (2025, Deardogs), his most intimate offering to date, seem to embody Zulu’s trajectory. An active figure on the experimental electronic scene, Zulu opens an introspective breach at the heart of a dark club lit by pulsing lights, somewhere between the reminiscence of a lost world and the determination to create one of his own.
After two acclaimed projects (Smart & Loyal, 2022, and Hear the Sound of My Feet, 2023), he
continues his narrative in images and music through a new live show, where electronic production intersects with touches of cathartic cloud and mumble rap.

23:00 / Jano
jano plays and tampers with music bouncing in all directions. From no-bpm to 200, and anything that fits in between, they sometimes struggle to make a choice and advocate for an everything-at-once way. Their sets twist frenetic dancing with emotions to untame, like a long-long run through heavy wind - or something like that ?
jano lives in Brussels, is a resident dj on Kiosk Radio, and is part of different collectives (music & fundraising events). They explore music through mixing and composition, and recently released a split EP on My Sleepy Snail éditions (MSS001).
