OFF THE MEDS / ELISE / BLERTA KOSOVA

OFF THE MEDS is an experimental electronic DJ / Rap quartet consisting of Adrian Lux, Carli Löf, Kamohelo Khoaripe and Måns Glaeser. Following up the EP in August 2018 they released the low-slung, Eitho-jazz sampling hip-house gem Currency Low, one of the standouts on the compilation Studio Barnhus Volym 1. The band's Studio Barnhus Volym 1 appearance was followed by a 2019 solo release on the label – the ravey smash single Belter which came paired with a much-lauded remix by London top selector Joy Orbison. Their self-titled debut album arrived in late 2020, which were praised by critics, and they won a Swedish "Grammys" for "Dance/Electro of the year" 2021. Off The Meds have also proved to be an exceptionally entertaining live act – the members' diverse musical talents fully displayed on stage. Kamo half-naked and beaming with energy – shouting, whispering and whistling from on top of a bass speaker, perhaps his favourite of all those places he calls home. ELISE over the last years has been exploring the structure of sounds among other forms of art. Growing up in Prishtine, surrounded by concrete leftovers of ex-Yugoslavian architecture has deeply impacted her taste in art which displays a bold rawness. Using music as an expression form on the beauty she finds in the deepest and darkest emotions, she will showcase a side of her in our upcoming event. BLERTA KOSOVA is a musician and producer who has been part of several bands in different formations, surfing through genres from alternative rock to absurd hop, and in between, there were drops of electronica, downtempo, synth pop, trip-hop, and whatnot. She released her first solo album “Reflections” in 2019.
