HEADLINERS:
The Bay Collective – VN / DEN
[Ambient Electronica / Dreamscape]
“The Bay Collective” is an open project by Vietnamese/danish pianist TRI MINH and danish singer/songwriter NANNA BOTTOS. They blend jazz/pop vibes with their original new, compositions and remake some of the well-known songs from their respected culture background in their native language.
The Orb Soundsystem – UK
[Ambient House]
For more than a quarter of a century The Orb have been a pivotal figure within the ambient and electronic music realm. From contributions to the rave revolution in the 90s, adventures into acid house like classic ‘Tripping in Sunshine’ and the seminal album ‘The Orb’s Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld’ The Orb have cemented their place in electronic music’s history. A legacy act of the highest order, Quest are thrilled to bring these masters of their craft to Vietnam for the very first time.
Stars & Rabbit – IDN
[Dream Pop]
Indonesia’s Stars and Rabbit are at the forefront of a new generation of talented artists from the creative hotspot of Yogyakarta. Lead singer Elda Suryani’s incredibly unique vocals conjures memories of gifted female vocalists such as Björk and Lamb’s Lou Rhodes, while their ethereal dream-pop style has drawn comparisons with bands as diverse as First Aid Kit to Emiliana Torrini.
Slamboree Soundsystem – UK
[Balkan / Breaks / Drum & Bass / Dubstep / Electro Swing / Gypsy / Nu Rave]
Slamboree Soundsystem is the DJ incarnation of the Pyro-Circus Dub Rave Massive also known as Slamboree; with a fearsome reputation of bringing heavyweight bass to festivals and clubs across the world. The DJ & vocal duo [Freear & Kathika Rabbit] perform a full-throttle dance explosion featuring an eclectic genre-busting mashup of styles!
VURRO – ESP
[One Man Band Madness]
Vurro is a shirtless, cow skull-wearing one-man band. With magic coming through his fingers and rhythm running through his veins this animal of the keyboards hits the cymbals with his horns and plays powerful drums with his feet. With bells in his arms and a voice from beyond the grave invites the believers to be transformed in his shamanic ceremony of rhythm and rock and roll. Vurro, the wild virtuoso, will open the gates of the rough underworld of rock so you can go across dancing.
X0809 – TH
[Synth Pop / Electro]
X0809 was initiated by Notep, also known as a experienced singer/songwriter who has gained popularity by attending a singing competition in Thailand, and Anya Muangkote, a talented multi-disciplinary designer and artist. Their latest work, X, an EP that is packed with sensuous vocals, catchy beats, and liberating thoughts, with lyrics that pokes fun at heartbreaks and other life experiences, giving women alike a different perspective.
This past year X0809 has had the chance to attend major music festivals throughout Asia such as Clockenflap in Hong Kong and Solar Budokan in Japan, and has gained attention from their sassy and off-the-edge music videos that has piled up 1M views on Facebook alone.
