Qazal Jaffri AKA Qaz is an independent, multitalented artist and songwriter based in Oslo, Norway. He discovered his own identity through music while learning to play the guitar, writing poems and rapping songs from his favourite artists in his free time and during recess at school. Growing up Qaz developed talents such as graphic design, cinematography and editing, as well as joining a band during his high school years. In 2018 he started releasing music after moving to Oslo. A year later he performed one of his first solo concerts at Rockefeller - Oslo’s most popular venue - as a finalist participant in the Emergenza Festival contest, where artists such as Nico & Vinz had previously participated in and won. During the year of 2021 Qaz released the singles "Fjernsynt" and "Kanskje Vi" both being well received by the public, listed on "New Music Friday Norway" and by NRK P3’s "Urørt anbefaler 2021" on the radio. The singles were later revealed to be a part of a larger project, his debut EP "MENS VERDEN STÅR STILLE" released the same year. 

Qaz is a progressive artist who strives to make each project and release better and larger than the last. Obsessed with narrative and story-driven aspect of music drawing inspiration from artists like Tyler, The Creator, Kendrick Lamar, Arif and Karpe, the artist is fully equipped with a diverse and colourful skillset enabling him to invite his audience into his world visually and audibly.

Souldrop is an electronic music group consisting of producers Even Brenna, Pål Myran-Håland and Thomas “Teddy Touch” Knudsen. In addition to releasing their own material, they also write, produce and remix music for other artists.



In 2011 Junk Machine, no ordinary rock trio, set out with a formalist vision to change the presence of contemporary rock’n’roll performance. Multi-instrumentalists and avant-garde composers Daniel Thornhill & Jonas Skarmark wanted to create a format approximating a kind of “pocket big band”, utilising the feats and struggles of modern technology to let just three live performers create the sound equal to that of a much, much more plural entity. After creating not only a great variety of modern rock compositions, but a great number of instruments to perform them on, including voice based mellotron plug-ins, room reverbs, distortion pedals, guitars and drum kits, Junk Machine landed a handful of interesting support gigs the summer of 2013.Sharing stages with and musically approaching acts like Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Kurt Vile and The Disappears, Junk Machine quickly forges their way into the refreshing novelty of the not-so-revivalist air of the recent new-spring-of-something-yet-to-be-categorised following the psychedelic second coming.Never retro, always contemporary, Junk Machine attempts to break with the anachronistic nature of post-911 indie music and perform something slightly more elusive, slightly less obvious.Watch out for releases and surprises in 2014 as Junk Machine digs its way into the playlists of your favourite after party producers.Kick back, intoxicate and dig in.
