aemlx (she/they, pronounced emil) operates on the spectrum between art and entertainment, playfulness and mourning, awkwardness and pathos. through misuse of tools of expression, they create intricate compositions that travel through drone and experimental songwriting, offering spells, confessions, jokes and commands. in their performance aemlx is drawing from contradictory creative and personal genealogies, feeling abandoned by their ancestors, creating new (folk)lore using voice, electronics and analog object-instruments such as burczybas (Kashubian friction drum) working across disciplines aemlx embodies various alter-egos that use humor and failure as modes of knowledge production, attempting to devise rituals & tools for navigating the estern-european trauma in the reality of another system collapse.
Hassan K. is a mystical one-man band from Persia, an open-source DIY artist blending folklore and technology, East and West, surf music and belly dance, swing and heavy metal in his electrifying live shows, often bordering on trance. Using an augmented electric setar and drum machine, he journeys from the West Kingdom to Turan, carrying the legacy of his illuminated ancestors. A multi-instrumentalist and traditionalist, Hassan does not merely play folklore but seeks the essence of a millennial culture to revive it without compromise. His performances are unique, energetic, and driven by an insatiable passion for the stage, enhanced by innovative digital craftsmanship that brings him close to his audience. Unclassifiable, versatile, and appealing to all.

Ewa Sad (Ewa Sadowska) is a Polish visual artist, curator and musician, for whom songs are just another artistic medium.
In her solo project as Ewa Sad, she focuses on lyrics, which she has chosen to write exclusively in her native language, and experiments with pop music—oscillating between playful, eccentric pop energy and a heavy, existential message. Her album BUM BUM was released as a joint publication by enjoy life and Polish Subtitles, and her upcoming record will be released through the online label BFF.
Formerly the vocalist and bassist of the band Sorja Morja, she has also been a part of the Berlin-based artistic choir BWKŁS and the Warsaw songwriting collective Polonia Disco.

Collaborating with visual art collective NAXS Corp, she has created immersive audiovisual performances like the Ghost Island A/V show and the VR project AFTERLIFE網路來生, showcased at festivals such as Unsound and Transmediale. Her work explores techno-animism and urban escapism, blending traditional beliefs with digital culture. In 2021, she co-founded 0xCORE, an online platform experimenting with virtual avatars and motion capture to innovate communication and identity in digital spaces. Meuko!Meuko! continues to push the boundaries of electronic music and performance art.
