Pick a Piper is a Toronto-based electronica duo consisting of longtime Caribou touring drummer Brad Weber and vocalist/songwriter Sophia Alexandra. Their music pairs catchy, ethereal vocals with warm synths, upbeat percussion, and a distinctive sense of sound design that feels both grounded and vulnerable.

Their new song “Look Around” fuses driving UK Garage rhythms, warm synths, and an uplifting coda with heartfelt vocals in English and Portuguese. The track peers into the desire for building on shared dreams and pushes for hope and courage to take action, even when fraught with despair. It speaks directly to the dandelion’s symbolism of resilience, hope, and wishes, and the need to overcome adversity and disperse the seeds of change.

The duo’s live show is an intoxicating blend of vibrant physicality and immersive lights and visuals, creating an experience that is both danceable and hypnotic. Pulsing with momentum, vocally driven and haunting, it radiates a charisma that unites the band and audience in cathartic release.

Pick a Piper has toured across Europe, the US, Canada, Guatemala, and Colombia, and has shared the bill with acts such as Bonobo, Gold Panda, Blue Hawaii, Do Make Say Think, Ghetto Kumbe, Rich Aucoin, Braids, and Factory Floor.

Naicet sounds like „nice set“ and has caused some confusion and funny situations by the dance floor. But it is her actual name. Being half Mexican and half German the name comes from the language of the Maya, meaning „dreaming next to …“. In contrast to that, her sound isn’t quite dreamy but can rather be described as drifty, dark but melodic. Originating from Hip Hop and RnB, Naicet discovered a fast growing passion for electronic music in her early twenties in Berlin and found her way behind the decks in 2020 beneath the Mystic Creatures event series which has been her home ever since. She now is part of the core team of the Mystic Creatures festival in Poland. Her energetic sets have reached several clubs and festivals in Germany and around the world.
