YNYS (Wales)
Hailing from Aberystwyth on the west coast of Wales, Ynys juxtapose melancholy harmonies and layers of vintage 70s/80s effects with rare sensitivity. This quintet’s skillful sonic palette tinges with psychedelia a handful of ingenious pop songs born from the mind of producer and arranger Dylan Hughes. Their self-titled debut album has been hailed as one of the most exciting debuts to come out of Wales in recent years.

REMEI DE CA LA FRESCA (Catalans Countries)
Sharp tongues ready to cut through any stylistic boundary taking no prisoners. Remei de Ca la Fresca are one of the most difficult bands to pigeonhole within the multi-faceted Indian Runners label. It’s not hip hop, it’s not soul, it’s not art rock and it’s not even funk or prog… Poetry? Theatre? Whatever it is, this fresh breeze from the remote Catalan mountains of Montseny is charged with irreverent self-mockery and is allergic to any euphemism.

GIGANTO (Grisons)
A giant by name and by nature… this artist is the undisputed king of Graubünden hip- hop scene, and his songs boast an impressive number of online streams. Well-known for his collaborations with some of the biggest names in Swiss rap music, Giganto is also a popular radio host for RTR Swiss Radio-Television Romancia. His music is always unpredictable and outflanks the stereotypes and clichés of gangsta rap with lyrics that investigate current events with biting irony.
