MELATI ESP
[US]
LIVE AUDIO VISUAL
Melati ESP is the recording alias of Indonesian-born, New York City-based multidisciplinary artist Melati Malay. hipernatural is their debut album.
Raised in this environment on a dual diet of western pop music and musik Dangdut (a Javanese form of pop blending Hindustani, Arabic, and Malay influence), Malay eventually relocated to New York City in her early 20’s and collaborated, recorded, and performed with an array of experimental groups, refining her practice at DIY venues across the city.
Over the last decade Malay has collaborated with U.K. trip-hop pioneer Tricky, U.S. cellist and composer Kelsey Lu, Keifing-born Vancouver based producer Yu Su, and innovative 70’s French composer Ariel Kalma. In what could feel like the middle of a long career, this new project by Melati Malay hints that she may only be beginning.

C3LINA
[US]
C3lina is a DJ currently based in Los Angeles. In 2019 she co-founded Gãy, an artist collective credited with pioneering the Vietnamese underground rave scene. After the pandemic, she was able to return to Saigon in 2022 to play Boiler Room, who labeled her a “trance angel”. Though she coincides her sound to be more of a hybrid club, blending influences from the past and the present. She likes to mix hard techno and classic trance from the 90s and early 2000s with percussive Vina house and deconstructed club edits. Her experimental sets are like a rollercoaster usually sitting between 130-160 bpm. Psychogenic is her mixing style. Love is her language. Transcendence is her end game.
