Romowe Rikoito

The melodic world of ROMOWE RIKOITO is laden with symbols of magic, emptiness, spaces lost in the mists of the past and the mysteries of the Baltic world. Its sound is a mediation of the language of the Baltic language family - the now extinct Prussian people - in the modern world through their contemporary folklore. The group began their musical explorations in 1995 at the mythical RĀMAWA shrine, and since then they have been steadfastly walking the invisible post-Baltic path with their meditative songs: an eternal pilgrimage on the borderlands between silent and wild tribes.

Crooked Mouth

Founded in western Canada in 2012 by Ian Campbell, CROOKED MOUTH has developed its own post-industrial folk music style, combining influences from the original neofolk wave with the mysteries of 60s-70s acid folk music, archaic folk groups, post-punk music and the contemporary underground. The band has released 5 albums and several other selections and EPs in collaboration with labels such as House of Inkantation, Neuropa, Brave Mysteries Recording Company and I, Voidhanger. They now run their own label, Ætheric Recordings.

Since 2022 the band is based in Vilnius, Lithuania.

Pirkan

Love and death, which surrounds the deepest moments of Hungarian folk songs, and PIRKAN captures these moments with the most powerful arrangements possible. By recreating the poems of the recent past in their own image and with their own songs, it is no different, the broken heart of man resounds in the echoing fields of the passing of time (...) Far from the cheap forms of world music, the ensemble seeks eternal truths beyond time and space and wants to address the people of today with the freshness of living tradition.
