Exist Palestine brings forward the highly talented local artists and the brightest musical visionaries in the global electronic music scene. 

Exist seeks to build bridges between international artists, Palestinian sound innovators, the many that have been displaced and musicians who are unable to attend the festival due to politically set restrictions. The lineups consist of artists who participated in Exist Festival 2019 as well as the ones who will be invited to play the next editions.

Exist no. 14 features sound artist Hålbå and the Blum.SP party founder & Burac resident Nikkatze.

Blasted and cutting sounds immersed in dark ambiances characterize the mixes of Hålbå, embodiments of his vision focused on society's decay and its consequent uncertain future. Chaos, despair, and distress are some of the feelings that the artist tries to convey on his Podcasts, a result of depth research of unconventional audio material with a huge impact for the listener.

Nikkatze is a Brazilian DJ and multiple artist, currently focused on the universe of electronic music, she explores a cinematic aesthetic in the composition of her mixtapes. She is also the founder of a prominent project in the city of São Paulo, the @blum.sp party, a movement that involves electronic music, performances and contemporary arts, Also Currently DJ resident of Buraco - label/party about all the universe of EBM and ambassador of VGLNT.BAR in the city of São Paulo.

Next release'dehNUNG' on aesthetical.de. Out on june 20 : 

An Auditory Journey into Repetition, Resistance, and Raw Reflection

Aesthetical proudly presents the latest album by SELM, the uncompromising project by Belgian brothers Thomas and Nicolas Giets, known previously for their work as Egotopia and Rony & Suzy. With SELM, the duo opened a visceral new chapter in their artistic evolution, diving deep into a world where industrial rigor meets introspective minimalism, where rhythm is both weapon and meditation.

SELM is not a project looking for comfort. Their new album eschews polish in favor of intuition. Born from minimal means and deliberate constraint, the music is steeped in contradiction: industrial and tribal, harsh and hypnotic, melodically restrained yet emotionally expansive. The record surges with rhythmic insistence, grounded in the raw, thumping DNA of 90s techno but bent through a fractured, noisier lens.

Cavernous textures trade places with stark, dry surfaces. Flickers of melody emerge from repetition, only to recede into the percussive shadows. At every turn, SELM plays with perception, refusing to choose between club energy and inner exploration. Their music occupies the grey zone where a distorted beat becomes a pulse of thought, and where sonic abrasiveness transforms into aesthetic clarity.

This album is a sketch turned statement, a reflection on how sound, even in its most unruly forms, can carry precision, depth, and beauty. SELM invites listeners to experience noise as catharsis, distortion as design, and rhythm as ritual.

Out on Aesthetical on June 20 2025, SELM’s latest album is a landmark for the label’s sonic ethos, unfiltered, fiercely intelligent, and unapologetically physical.

LZNO A.k.a Inverted Sides 🔴 L/N/E Rec.

From a very young age he lived immersed in music because the musical tastes of his parents, among which the Italo disco and High Energy stood out, were a determining influence on his taste, criteria, knowledge and musical sensitivity.
In his beginnings as a DJ he kept abreast of the main currents coming from the music industry, by getting to know them and working with them progressively, he incorporated these currents and styles and adapted them to the local environment. In his sets it is possible to listen to a wide auditory panorama made up of noise techno, tbm, electro, dark wave and postpunk, a risky amalgam of styles and currents that make up a sound and musical atmosphere that with precision can be considered hybrid and mutant.
Under the alias of Inverted Sides it has formed a distinctive sound of its own. Labels such as "In Public", "WOS", "Discos Delite", "Cuco Records", "Portal records" give an account of the quality of their work and their productions. Recently under the label of "Vancouver Lost In Lust Records" he has released his EP L´INFERNO. An intense auditory journey to know the depth of his musical universe from very defined bases: TBM, Industrial and Techno.

Inverted Sides has formed its own label 🔴L / N / E Rec. In its own words it is a strategy, a tool or a weapon with which it intends to react to the present state of humanity and lead it towards a new consciousness, towards a new way of being based on music and its energy manifested in the strangest and most surreal musical frequencies of our current environment and that make up its very particular sound reaction.
