Shifting between rhythmically dismal delicate beats to hardcore techno, he prefers to be indefinable but leaves the dance floor pulsating. ArtSaves is invested in amplifying the Tehran scene which is known for it’s highly experimental and haunting sounds. He currently resides between Vancouver and Tehran.

Biracial visual artist Sara Allan aka SISI Yang Hua comes from a Chinese and Palestinian background. SISI Yang Hua tries to translate her vision into visuals and sounds.

EXIST No.17 brings the first appearance of ANTS & Erica Van Berger. 

ANTS is the brainchild of the Exist Festival founder and Harara Records curator ODDZ (Odai Masri) and Italian producer Francesco Presotto (Soulless, Moral Excerpt, Skogen, Agent 15).

The duo is a spiritual homage to techno/industrial project British Murder Boys, employing pounding beats and devastating kick-drums in a harsh soundcape informed by classic techno and modern industrial elements in order to narrate the political and social panorama of Palestine. Here techno music rediscovers its social roots going well beyond the simple attraction to dance numbers, albeit the core elements of the genre are not forgotten, as well as hypnotizing tour-de-force.

Dark ambiances, abrasive synths, rhythmic locomotives are the weapons of choice for an outfit determined to make its mark on the current underground scene. ANTS is the sound of a harsh reality, of hope and courage amidst daily violence and war, of a flame that still burns against all odds.

Based in São Paulo, Erica Van Berger’s selections travel from slow, heavy and dark industrial music to drum n bass, tribal and experimental electronics. Her mixes are more based in a mood and sound exploration than in a specific genre.

for what is flesh alone?
what is flesh, alone?
you may see it and feel only disgust
you may see it in the gutter, drunken
or in the coffin, dead.
the world’s as full.. of flesh
as a grocer’s counter is of candles at the start of winter.
But not until you’ve brought a candle home
and lit it
can it give you comfort.

Half of the duo Feral Rite alongside his friend Abu Zeinah, Marek joined Behind The Stage collective in 2018 and has been involved in the launch of its label. 2020 saw the release of his debut digi EP on BTS titled 'Hack The Fear', backed with remixes from ISNT, Piotr Figiel and Abu Zeinah.

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.
