KIKK Festival

With an obsession for perverted beauty, Obsequies act a go-between intimacy and intimidation, while gentle minimalistic piano try to find a way out drome the suffocative whirling mass of noise, ethereal voices resound through silence awaiting for the blast of ephemeral scattering beats. Described as an ode to love and dualité, their debut ep "organn" is out now on the Planet Mu sister label Knives.

Stellar OM Source is the solo music project of Christelle Gualdi, a French-Italian music producer and DJ currently based in Belgium. Active for more than a decade, Christelle’s acclaimed 2013 album Joy One Mile and Nite Glo (2015), both on the boundary-pushing New-York label RVNG Intl firmly established her as an artist to watch out for. Both releases settled her musical direction. They bring elements of techno, house and disco in a unique musical palette, marking out her signature of emotive uplifting melodies and contagious, bassline-centered grooves. Christelle’s famed all-analog live sets create electrifying and energizing dance parties. Her DJ sets also have a distinct style: they bring the dark heaviness in late night settings as well as sensual vibes for warmups.
