Umbra, Marija Balubdžić’s solo project, was recommended to us by her mother label Baba Vanga that has been releasing interesting cassettes for many years. Marija is active in Belgrade and Vienna, and transforms the influences of both cities into her work. Her sound is based on her powerful and energetic voice, which develops into electronic poetry. The Quietus writes about her: “Marija Balubdžić has participated in a diverse variety of musics over the years, conducting choirs, making noise poetry, and working with some far more academic electroacoustic methods and pedagogies. Her solo project, Umbra, synthesizes it all together, splitting constantly between sweet and sour, noise and melody.“ We’re looking forward to being consumed by her music in CCC Club at Pohoda 2019. → read more

Pohoda 2019 will also host the Polish experimenters Mołr Drammaz, a comeback of Wojciech Kucharczyk and his sister Asia Bronislawska’s band which they founded in 1995. Already back then they caught people’s attention with their atypical rhythms, powerful lyrics and unusual experimentation with electronics. They were among the most active bands within the Polish underground electronic scene. Recently, they have released a new album on the Dutch label Lullabies For Insomniacs that is called Times Before Emojis, and they’re getting back on stage to present it.  → read more

Today, we’ll be gradually releasing artists from the alternative electronic scene who’ll perform in the CCC Club. Let us start with Nídia (originally Nídia Minaj). This Cape Verde native produces polyrhythmic dance music based on Afro-Portuguese genres like kuduro, batida or tarraxinha. Her first record, Danger by Nídia Minaj, was an excellent and powerful collection of songs featuring her wild and unmistakable voice. The album ranked in many end-of-the-year best records of 2015 charts, including the TOP10 of electronic albums according to NPR, or Wire magazine's 50 best albums of 2015.  → read more
