With her first recording project No Light Without Darkness, LLUM has traced her path with her voice, with no frills; a constant force that illustrates the pumping body of an artist who only allows herself to be dominated by the hypnotic voice of her future.

PRIMAVERA SOUND
Ariox
Arca
The Barcelona-based Venezuelan artist gives body to every song, finding an aural equivalence between her transition and the more non-conformist sounds of clubbing and reggaeton. For those who like the new flesh, libidoboosting music and weird dancing.

Ferran Palau
Mujeres started making rock and roll at a time when pure rock was not very well considered on the country’s independent scene. Their garage songs and vibrant live shows are pure adrenaline and a celebration of rock and friendship.

Renaldo & Clara
Updating their observational pop with urban reflections and R&B transparencies, Renaldo & Clara’s pop leads you to ask yourself strange and beautiful questions. Their last release La boca aigua is full of charm, exquisite pop and delicate irony.

Xebi SF
Biographies say that Xebi Salvatella is from Girona, but he clearly comes from wonderland. His latest album Hola elefante is full of effects, distortions and alterations of reality to reveal that what we understand as a normal world is anything but normal.

PRIMAVERA SOUND
irieix
irieix is an electro-singer-songwriter project that revolves around electro-pop, Latin music, selfparody, and Catalan sad-boyism. It was born to bring to light Lluís Margarit’s songs, but above all for the laughs, drawing heavily from memes and post-humor.
