Guretti
Guretti is the homonym first record of the musical collaboration between the accordionist Angelo Cacciolato and the visual artist and musician Tiziano Ciao. Tiziano plays a big wooden harp, similar to a santoor or a dulcimer, which he builds himself out of old drawers. Tuning to Angelo’s accordion, soon they found out how well the instruments blended together. Creating silence before sound, and space, and a delicate dialogue between the instruments, leading and following gently, in a beautiful, moving, mystical journey.
John Humphrey Coconut

His style and pictorial motifs lie in a set of themes such as palm trees and naked women, in paintings full of intense chromatic nuances. His musical style comes from blues, rock, funk, pop and tropicalism, born of it songs full of color and with African touches.

Radament is an alternative jazz duo based in Barcelona featuring Juanjo Fernández on piano and Giorgio Fausto Menossi on drums. The sound of the band combines influences of classical and jazz music with a post-rock rhythmic feel, with a highly cinematic, dynamical and emotional result.
Formed in Barcelona by the Galician pianist and composer Juanjo Fernández and the Italian drummer Giorgio Fausto Menossi, the duo keeps the original formula of its debut, with instinctive and raw arrangements, and it is capable to add a compositional maturity that gives more interest and depth.
Radament’s jazz is still blended with classical and rock music, but the spectrum of influences is increasingly wider.

Tithonus
Ben Overlaet on guitar and Jan Van Woensel on drums recorded and self-released "Movements" and "I Want to Disappear into the Black Back of the Night Watch" and played several noteworthy gigs in Belgium, Germany and Norway. Later Ben's brother Dave joined the band on bass guitar and their music became more structured, although the adventure of noise would never be far away. After a while, Jan decided to leave the band and Tim replaced him as a drummer. In that period their typical grunge sound was born. With their grunge set, inspired by bands like Sonic Youth, Smashing Pumpkins and Nirvana they played several gigs in Belgium and the Netherlands until Jan left again to work on his own music and got replaced by Chadwick and then by by Waut who is their current drummer. They’re now working on new material while continuing to play live shows and they will soon hit the studio to record a new album.
