ARTISTS BIOs:
Yaeger | Yaeger has gradually, since her debut, moved in a direction from electronic pop-R&B towards infectious rave-pop. At the end of last year, she released the incredibly energetic single "Water Pistol," which doesn't sound like anything else. With minimal means, she manages to make a pop song sound incredibly powerful by letting her vocals act as an additional instrument, pumping with violent beats in symbiosis with the beat. Recently, she released the equally energetic collaboration with Icona Pop, "Shit We Do For Love," and most recently the stylish "Lupins In Blue." What feels like a renaissance from one of this year's most interesting artists can also become a major exclamation point on stage.

Augustine | The songwriter and producer Fredrik Gustafsson introduced himself as Augustine in early 2019. It didn’t take long before he became one of the year’s most talked-about indie phenomena in Sweden and internationally. The music carries a sweet blend of sun-drenched indie pop, filled with retro-tinged and cinematic soundscapes – where his shimmering falsetto and powerful songwriting create a whole that’s hard to resist. Since debuting, Augustine has touched fans all over the world. Whatever styles Augustine undertakes, it is characterized by an unmistakable warmth. And it is precisely that warmth that draws people to his music as they have done from the very beginning. His live performances have attracted large audiences with sold-out gigs across Scandinavia and Europe.

waterbaby | Artists have always had a knack for understanding the strange psychological sorcery that comes with crushing on someone. Stockholm-based artist waterbaby - intimately knows the tiny nuances between love – which is to say, the bond between two people – and the one-sided, up-and-down feelings of infatuation: the plaintive longing, the shifty wanting and the not-wanting, and all the luxuriously intrusive thoughts that come with them. If you’re at all familiar with the patterns of this (il)logic, you’ll find a welcome home in the world of waterbaby’s rhapsodic, technopastoral crush songs.
