Aquarama - Born in 2016 from the meeting of the Florentine Dario Bracaloni, DJ and music promoter, and Guglielmo Torelli, designer and visual artist, Aquarama is the duo that blends grooves inspired by modern American r'n'b with surf melodies with a vintage 60s taste - '70, but also Afro-Cuban rhythms and funk sounds, combined with the elegance of the Italian pop tradition.
(After the pandemic) Aquarama are back with "Together (A Better Place To Celebrate)", a psychedelic soul-pop song, a sort of guided meditation, a mantra and a song by hope for a bright future. Together with them a great choir of musician friends from the United States, Brazil, the United Kingdom and Italy.

Black Midi are an English rock band from London, formed in 2017 by Geordie Greep (vocals, guitar), Cameron Picton (vocals, bass guitar, synths), Matt Kwasniewski-Kelvin (vocals, guitar) and Morgan Simpson (drums). The band is currently a trio consisting of Greep, Picton and Simpson, with Seth Evans (keyboards, synths) and Kaidi Akinnibi (saxophone) being frequent collaborators in both studio and live performances since 2020.
Their name is derived from the Japanese music genre black MIDI, though their own music has no relation to it. Their sound has been described as experimental rock, progressive rock, math rock, noise rock and post-punk.
