Duo Fertilizer was founded accidentally in Zlín in 2008. Their retrofuturistic combination of various forms of rock music and hardware synthesizers is rooted in the 80’s but heading towards distant future. This seemingly incoherent group successfully fertilizes the heads of stubborn and curious fans.
Ditchmag was founded in 2012 as an independent online music magazine. Through several mutations, it has later evolved into today’s form of an informal collective of journalists and DJs. Their eclectic set will echo everything that is club music of the year 2017 – radical and engrossed but also ecstatic and soothing.
Vojtěch Urbánek and Tomáš Mourek are a duo of songsters who wouldn’t mind getting stabbed with a pair of compasses for their instruments. During intensive touring, they created an amalgamation of blues and raw indie folk. They are characterized by their live sound, authentic singing and mature Czech lyrics. If anything in the world can redeem this sinful duo, it is their debut record Urbánek & Mourek, published by Czech label Tranzistor.
Between 1996 and 2009, they were known as -123 min. Their music and expression attracted crowds. In 2000, the band won the Anděl Award for the Discovery of the Year and during their career, they published five studio albums and one live record. In 2009, they disbanded. The fans had to wait until June 2016 for their reunion.

Aid Kid is twenty-three-year-old musician, producer and DJ Ondra Mikula. After his first two singles (Sleep Start and Broken Arp) and many concerts with foreign acts such as SOHN, Kiasmos, SOPHIE, Groundislava etc., he became a rising star of the Prague electronic music scene. During his live sets, he improvises and creates variations on his own tracks in which he combines emotive beats and graduating structures. His 2015 self-published debut record received positive critics. Currently, he is the guitarist of the band Děti mezi reprákama and the creative driving force of the band Zvíře jménem podzim. Recently, Aid Kid has also taken up incidental theatre music and his compositions can be heard in many spots, jingles, installation and videomappings. He will perform his DJ set at Anifilm.
PlusMinusZero brings harrowing and rolling raw riffs shrouded in low impenetrable inversions and a sorrowful resigned voice hidden under the cover of post-punk gloom. The only Scottish guitar band in the Czech Republic. They have just published their eponymous debut record.
Please the Trees are a household name of the Czech independent scene. Their constantly transforming style cannot be classified with any labels and they are famous for their energetic live shows and omnipresent environmental message. In September 2015, Please the Trees published their fourth album Carp, which is characterized by a new, more raw sound. The album was recorded during their American tour and, apart from nominations for the Vinyl Award and the Anděl Award, Carp won the APOLLO 2015 Award for the best album. Please the Trees are one of only a few bands whose output, not to mention their social involvement, didn’t decline after their debut album Lion Prayers (2007).
From the present to the omnivorous sixties and with a spiritual back to the times of the Confederacy. From Brooklyn through Paris to Cologne and back through São Paulo to Scotland. In a one-hour erudite set, DJ Johana does it all. Although the whole set has a chilled atmosphere, each track comes from a mindstorm of a certain time and place. Sometimes words are the only means of defence the oppressed have, just like in case of Gil Scott-Heron. In other cases, they describe a civilisation anxiety like in Arab Strap and other times, the music is a result of a clearly set theoretical framework like in Bernard Szajner and Can. These are all perfect examples of moments when pop puts on bone glasses and exists on a literary basis.
Inspired by street art and cartoons, Pretty Disturbed creates visuals that consist of edgy, unpolished drawings and dark but humorous characters.

Finnish designer based in Vienna, enthusiastic fan of with 360° video and virtual reality in general who creates visually striking spatial installations combining elements from art, games and films.
Who’s your sister? Gather all the leaves for fingerprints, disembowel all the animals, there may be a clue in their stomach. Sister? Something like a brother, but of different sex. Sizzling and shaking like a sausage on a grill, your head will swirl.
