JOTAMAYÚSCULA (Zona Bruta - El Rimadero Radio 3)
Originally from Guinea, Jotamayuscula is one of the main exponents of Spanish hip hop, both as a DJ and as producer of his group, the violent poets'' society. A number of leading artists in the genre have passed through his studio, including La Mala Rodríguez and SFDK.

FAIRMONT (Traum, Border Community, Canada)
Canadian artist Jake Fairley navigates his work somewhere between romantic and subtle techno ambient, minimal dub and roaring no-wave. In his recent and celebrated career with James Holden''s British record label Border Community, Fairley creates a sound with a clear pop influence, in which techno is charged with hypnotic melodies to achieve a fascinating result.
