Sikha
Originally from Georgia, Sikha (George) was soaked in classical jazz, rock and pop from a very early age. Later he found alternative rock, fusion and electronica as the main sources of inspiration to start playing bass guitar, singing and founding the Georgian alternative band Afternoon Version in the mid-90s. 
Since 2001 Sikha has been living in London. He pursued a solo career producing mainly house music and started DJing in early 2006. He has released several EPs and an album of collected tracks on the New York label System Recordings and also had one-off releases on German and Dutch labels. His DJ-ing has taken him to underground clubs in London and Berlin, also Spain and France. 
Sikha’s DJ sets are mainly based on deep tech house but can be a mixture of a little bit of everything. 

He has not forgotten his influences so his mixes always carry very emotive, melodic and rich textures with unexpected changes of mood, subtle mysticism and they are strongly infused with funk dynamism and intelligent rhythm sections.

A singer-songwriter and electronic music producer from Georgia, Tamada is named after the traditional Georgian table host, or toastmaster: the one who presides over banquets and conducts the evening’s salutes, songs, and stories. His debut album, "Dionysus vs Tamada", revolves around Tamada’s songwriting combined with elements from different electronic sub-genres. Both highly experimental and wildly catchy, his lyrics resemble toasts in ancient Georgian, touching on current social issues and romantic sentiments.

Upon the release of his debut album, Tamada gained the love and support of Georgians of different ages and musical tastes, as well as media coverage from magazines such as Mixmag Turkey, Songlines, Transglobal, Beehype, and more. Tamada is still searching and experimenting, an ongoing process that is unlikely to end.

Following his breakthrough debut, Tamada announced his sophomore album "9 Deadly Sins for Tamada," which was released on July 4th, 2024. He released two singles from the album, "Dao" and "Jinit," on the aesthetic music platform ColoursxStudio. The album continues his exploration of identity, culture, and music with a unique blend of experimental sounds and deeply rooted cultural influences, offering listeners a deeply personal and philosophical experience.

Everyone creates their version of reality. We have created ours through music and we call it Afternoon Version. Why Afternoon? Why not ... we leave that question open for you to decide ... x

Afternoon Version is a Georgian alternative band that first emerged in 1993, in the thick of Georgia’s post-Soviet chaos—a time of blackouts, curfews, and creative defiance. Formed by five teenagers from Tbilisi, the band found inspiration in the emotional landscapes of British music from the 90s—artists like Massive Attack, Radiohead, and Depeche Mode—blending that influence with their own raw, electronic-infused sound.

The original lineup included George "Sikha" Sikharulidze (bass, vocals, programming), Zurab "Zuricha" Dzagnidze (guitar), Goga Kavtaradze (drums), Nicka Tsereteli (keyboards, backing vocals), and Dato Toidze (guitar), with Misha Abesadze on vocals in the very early phase. Over the years, the band saw several evolutions, but always kept its introspective core and deep sonic textures intact.

In late 2023, after years of sporadic releases and quiet reverence from a niche audience, the original lineup reformed for a special project focused on re-recording and reimagining their earliest songs. This emotional reunion wasn't just a nostalgia trip—it was a creative renewal that led to a powerful new wave of performances and recordings.

Their music—from early releases like Together to more recent EPs like Unfortunately Dizzy—has always been a mirror to inner lives, national atmosphere, and the surreal melancholy of time passing. Afternoon Version remains a band that doesn’t chase trends—they create sonic spaces where memory, emotion, and experimentation blur into something beautifully timeless.
