Jakuzi is a Turkish darkwave band hailing from Istanbul, known for their fusion of synth-driven melodies and introspective themes. The group was formed by Kutay Soyocak (vocals)and Taner Yücel (bass, synths), who have crafted a sound that combines elements of synthpop, post-punk, and new wave. Jakuzi gained international attention with their debut album Fantezi Müzik, showcasing the vibrant underground music scene of Turkey. Their follow-up album, Hata Payı, delves deeper into emotional and thematic complexity, maintaining their commitment to moody and atmospheric pop.

Alice Gift is the Berlin-based project of German-French artist Nicolas I., moving between shoegaze, indie rock, darkwave and dreamy noise pop.

Since the release of the debut album Alles ist Gift in 2021, the band has toured across Germany, France, Japan and Mexico, performed in New York, and shared the stage with artists such as Actors, Clan of Xymox, She Past Away, Film School, Light Asylum and Austra.

Live, Alice Gift delivers a toxic mélange of atmospheric guitars, dark electronics and a distinctive, sensitive voice.

The current live line-up features Djamila Paris on keyboards and vocals and Lena Lonley (ex-Sigue Sigue Sputnik) on guitar.

Following releases on French label Icy Cold, the band recently joined German label Motor, with a second album due in 2027.

Produced in collaboration with Tadklimp (The Notwist, Fenster), the upcoming album will also feature collaborations with artists such as The KVB and Twin Tribes.
