Line-up
To join the second edition of SONIC PLAYGROUND:
PVC CPH
The Copenhagen crew, each armed with their favorite hardware, will team up for an epic live performance. They are going for a spontaneous and improvised affair. Imagine seven music producers, each with vastly different creative minds and influences, coming together with one goal in mind: to make you dance and get lost in the trance. (Featuring Songs From Tin Pan Alley, Yukio Bergholdt, ITEM, Second Sun, Borenstein, Wilk Kick & Atlas Castle).
Sholinger is a producer, engineer, and sound designer from Berlin. His spectrum varies from minimalistic to abstract, with hypnotic rhythms, dark samples, and elements from analog and digital synthesis taking your mind to another level. Most tracks are produced while traveling abroad with a mobile setup and are then fine-tuned, mixed, and mastered in his studio (Room4Sound) in Berlin.
59 Perlen is a music artist, live act, and mentor based in Zurich, Switzerland. He produces and performs house and ambient sets with various hardware setups for diverse audiences. His often minimalist tracks tell a story by combining dub techno elements and ambient atmospheres while remaining danceable.
Rome in Reverse is the Italian-born, Copenhagen-based artist Antonella Pacifico, who made her debut in 2014 and quickly found her niche within the crowded electronic music scene. The environment that Pacifico has crafted with Rome in Reverse is a melting pot of club dance music, blissed-out trance-techno, ambient dub, and dreamy trip-hop sounds, all driven by up/down-tempo electronic beats.
Andy Wiseman is a producer and musician originally from Halifax, Canada. After years of working with artists in Canada (TWRP) and Germany (XTR Human), he’s been based out of Copenhagen since 2020. His own music has been taking form as a unique blend of alternative electronica spanning across and bridging the gaps between ambient, techno, synthwave and funk. On stage Andy takes the helm on the electronic drums, providing the heartbeat to an enthralling live set.
I Wear* Experiment is a dynamic Nordic electro trio leaning towards experimentation and cinematic soundscapes. The band embarked on their journey into electronic pop music, reviving the punch and aggressiveness they feel has been missing over time.
