Bård Berg

Bård Berg is an Oslo-based producer and artist who is on his way to establishing himself as a hot name both as a producer, drummer, DJ and artist in the electronic scene in Norway. The latest album Oslo beats Vol III is already predicted to become a future Norwegian club classic. With his innovative expression, he mixes house and hip-hop-inspired beats with his jazz-schooled background. At a concert with Bård Berg, the DJ desk has been replaced by top-shelf musicians who deliver soulful and sophisticated world-class club music. The band consists of six members where Bård Berg plays drums, Sofie Tollefsbøl on bass, Andrea Louise Horstad on bass, Audun Haave Reknes on keys and Johannes Aagaard.

Finding Neo

Finding Neo is one of the most exciting bands moving in the Norwegian neo-soul-landscape these days. Their music offers a mix of soul, indie and jazz, with inspiration drawn from artists such as Tom Misch, Robert Glasper and Hiatus Kajyote. Their critically acclaimed debut, the EP Hits 4 Neokids, caught the attention of music journalists and listeners at home and abroad, earning them, among other things, the title “Månedens Urørt” at the radio station NRK P3. The themes of the songs reflect the lives of the band members themselves, and what it's like to grow up and be a young adult in today's society. Finding Neo gives you a mix of experimental chords and hefty riffs mixed with energetic and soft vocals.

GiddyGang & Vuyo

GiddyGang & Vuyo is an Oslo-based collection of musicians driven by heavy hip-hop beats and silky smooth vocals. The music is grounded in solid old-school hip hop beats, with strong influences from J Dilla and The Roots. At the same time, the members have backgrounds in everything from gospel, jazz and soul. The end result is surprising, stylish, fun and cheerful. The debut mixtape was made during the lockdown as a positive feature in challenging times. Vuyo will also be part of the live show, delivering laid back bars with his perfect flow. Feeling "Giddy" means feeling laughable and happy - these are the emotions GiddyGang wants listeners to feel when they hear their music.
