AM444 [CN/NL]
AM444 is a positive product of globalization, a duo resulting from the meeting of ChaCha– vocalist, MC, and well-known figure of the Shanghai underground– and Jay Soul, a Dutch producer who was propelled himself for some time in the Chinese megalopolis. From the release of their first EP, Eye Wonder, and their debut LP, Rooms, AM444 has created a buzz. Both of the opuses deliver an exotic yet definitely urban sound, where one can feel the duo’s versatility and ability to absorb worldwide influences. But the real surprise is the warmth of ChaCha’s voice, which undulates smoothly through musical styles and transforms Mandarin Chinese into a language that sounds suddenly accessible, even familiar.This is clearly heard in the surprising Détache toi, a tune that inspired French pop star Matthieu Chedid and put AM444’s French debut under a good star. With such swag and karma, AM444 is set to break borders!

CALLmeKAT [DK]
Known for her alternative pop CALLmeKAT is the internationally acclaimed moniker of Scandinavian musician, composer and singer Katrine Ottosen. She grew up in a forest in the Danish countryside, where she would always find herself secretly drawn towards an old beat up piano. Now later in life her ongoing love for vintage and analog keyboards shines through in her music, infused with an earthy feel and a rare talent for symbiotic relationship between electric and organic elements.
In 2008 CALLmeKAT released the critically acclaimed ‘I’m In A Polaroid Where Are You?’ (EP) and ‘Fall Down’, through her own Pixiebooth label. This was followed up with the 2012-release of the haunting psych-pop loaded sophomore album ‘Where The River Turns Black’ recorded in the beautiful Catskill Mountains, in the state of New York and released throughout Continental Europe (Pixiebooth/Word&Sound/Playground). Where The River Turns Black featured drummer/multi-instrumentalist and producer Joe Magistro (Prophet Omega) and notable bass player Sara Lee (GangOf Four, B 52’s), with guest appearances by pals from the road; Erika Spring (Au Revoir Simone) and Helgi Jonsson (Sigur Ros).
