Japes is the project of Mia Kelly (she/they), a musician, producer, DJ and broadcaster based in Te Whanganui-a-Tara (Wellington). They showcase a piece-meal approach to genre, juxtaposing treated guitars, sonic art and deep bass to concoct a thoughtful heady blend. Since releasing their debut EP Junk, Japes has made sparse appearances on local compilations (Strange Behaviour, Works for Loudspeakers) while developing into a live favourite in the capital, supporting Nabihah Iqbal (Ninja Tune) as well as performing at Cuba Dupa and Newtown Festival.
Silva Spiral produces experimental art pop in Te Whanganui-a-Tara. Her music plays with the dichotomy of deep heavy synth bass and ethereal layered vocals, all while floating amidst a landscape of textured and hypnotic beats. She strives to strike a sonic balance between nostalgia and the unknown.
