**Palmb omen II **
Antwerp based, Palmbomen II (Kai Hugo) began his music car eer as Palmbomen in 2011, releasing his first EP "Moon Children" on the Du tch label, Night Gaunt Recordings.

At the same time, Palmbomen II listens to modern m usicians like Kate NV, Dean Blunt and many others. Film and series are als o an important source of inspiration, for example by watching episodes of The X-Files. In 2018, Hugo released the four-part Memories of Cindy which told the story of her hometown of Carmel Vista, California.

In 2019, Hugo started his own record label called World of Paint, releasing artists like Antenna, Cindy, Beton kust and Kleine Kova. Recently (2026) he released his own tape: dancing an d crying.

MAHA
MAHA's mission is to use her cr eativity as a tool of resistance against oppression, prejudice and labels, - and a celebration of self expression and community. It extends to her m usic, specifically naming X-Ray Spex's Poly Styrene, Sinead 0' Connor, Amy l & The Sniffers and Grace Jones as sources of inspiration.
"My w ork i s all about stories that are ignored, misunderstood, about people wh o don't always feel represented in society. About injustice. But also abou t joyful things. I tackle different themes that all resonate with me. My g oal is to share new perspectives."

Whether MAHA plays on stage or cu rates and workshops for Mahazine - all her activities are part of the same trail-blazing language, reciprocating and feeding off one another. "Mahaz ine also addresses the themes in my music. For example, injustice or token ism in the fashion industry, discrimination, and inequity. The zine is
essentially an extended version of my songwriting. It gives you a bit mo re context. "My songs can be very direct, and perhaps also a bit bare: my zine acts as a kind of extension and fleshing out, where I DIVE deeper int o these topics."

Cat A Lula
Since her first st eps in Rotterdam, Cat A Lula fell in love with electronic music… Just like anybody else you might say, but while she got fantastic input from roamin g around the Schieblok for years and working now for Operator Radio, her t aste expanded to all the precious but dusty corners of music. Playing in t he left field of wave, dub, funk, jazz, industrial, trip-hop, noise and wh at not, she collects all sorts of downtempo curveballs that she presents o n her Krokodyle radio show. All in all, she finds peace in the weird yet n ot too corny, the old and sleazy, the hard-hitting yet not too fast, or da rk but funny music (if not pathetic). Since 2024, she also hosts the Sunfl owers Radio series, featuring talks with diverse FLINTA* artists or worker s of the radio/music industry and showcasing innovative electronic music p rojects.
