ORPHAN SWORDS (BE) Industrial / Noise
Orphan Swords
ORPHAN SWORDS focus on massive beatmaking, throbbing industrial soundscapes and wild performances with something of a darkwave/EBM/experimental blend. Nevertheless, Orphan Swords have no stylistic boundaries and explore different musical territories on each release in order to serve central thematics such as demonology and the world of finance or the creation of modern day rituals. Frequently described as brutally hypnotic, their music has been released on Desire Records, Clan Destine, Idiosyncratics and Nurse.
ICON TEMPLATE (BE) Dark / Electro / Industrial
ICON TEMPLATE falls in raw industrialized hypnotism, and rise into endless techno rhythms. It expresses a rebellion against order by instilling chaos and feed the conscious perceptions of its dark sides. After its first release on An der grenze in 2015, Icon template had the opportunity to play in renowned venues such as Bozar Electronic Art Festival (BEAF) or FUSE.
RIPIT started his musical activities as a black metal guitar player but converted to radical electronics, developing a noisy, rhythmical and psychedelic sound based on primitive synthesizer use, and evolving to a more complex form of sound tending to beat micro-surgery and orchestral bombast. He extensively uses modular synths, ol’time drum machines and no-input mixers to create a dancy acid music, plunging the crowd in a magma of electrical textures mixing dance-floor references and magnetic fog.
Onrust

Onrust is the solo project of Belgian self-taught electronic artist Wendy Mulder
(1979).
In the past ten years, she's has been successfully exploring analog synthesis,
computer drumming and sampling. Self described as ‘Tantric Techno For The
Restless’, her music combines old-school industrial in uences such as Orphx,
Esplendor Geométrico or Cosey Fanni Tutti with a distinct feminine subtlety and
attention to detail and a tendency for groovy psychedelica.
