Gris Futuro

Gris Futuro is a minimal electronics / cyberwave duo formed in 2021 by Lithuanian musician Eglė Naujokaitytė and Mexican artist Rogelio Serrano. Their music is built around modular and analogue synthesizers, embracing the imperfections and unpredictability of analogue sound.

The band’s name reflects both their fascination with Brutalist architecture and 1970s–80s synthesizer music, as well as their dissatisfaction with an increasingly uniform, algorithm-driven world. Unlike digital instruments, analogue synthesizers convert electricity directly into sound, making each performance subtly unique.

Gris Futuro have toured Latin America, Western Europe, and Lithuania, sharing stages with artists including Molchat Doma, Lebanon Hanover, Xeno & Oaklander, Das Ding, Automelodi, and Mark Knekelhuis. Their music has appeared on numerous influential synth music playlists, and they are currently promoting their debut album, Nowadaze, released on vinyl by À La Carte Records.

Egzotikka

Egzotikka is the alias of Lithuanian producer and DJ Osvaldas Bertašius. Recently returned from London, he creates music that blends minimal wave, post-punk, coldwave, lo-fi EBM, and other underground electronic styles.

A passionate vinyl collector, Osvaldas performs DJ sets using both vinyl records and digital formats. He also curates the META MOTO label and radio show. His productions have been released by respected underground labels including Detriti Records and Raw Culture.

Cats In Grass

Fresh from a series of writing and recording sessions in the UK, Cats In Grass return to the stage with a brand-new live set. The post-punk / shoegaze quintet may have spent some time away from performing, but they’re ready to channel everything into their upcoming shows.

The band will premiere material from their forthcoming album live on stage.
