GRUTH presents NOEMATA (FI)
DE GAER [live] (BE)
ROKO [dj] (BALA, Sicily)
Rooted in the Nordic darkness of metal, industrial and classical music with extensive immersion into sound system culture, Gruth is an electroacoustic music project of Juha Puuperä. Drawing influence from various different musical cultures, practices and genres, the Gruth sound has evolved from forward-thinking techno, ritual ambient and doom-industrial into long-form "sound paintings”, meticulously arranged and improvised long takes forged into slowly evolving layers of sound.
Noemata is Gruth’s next album awaiting physical release later this year. Written during Puuperä's years in Salvador da Bahia, Brazil, the LP comprises two 25-minute long drone pieces, ”Noema I" and "Noema II", incorporating elements of post-industrial, kraut rock, doom metal, dark ambient, field recording, dub and jazz. The second piece features soprano saxophone improvisations by Alberto Iannuzzi.
Music intended for sleeping or meditation, the album showcase at Desterro will not take the form of a performance but rather a stereo playback of the mastered pieces for a lying down/sitting audience in pitch black darkness.

De Gaer began in 2014, after years of immersion in the club scene, performing DJ sets at legendary venues such as Fabric and Public Life in London, and holding a residency at Fuse Brussels in his native Belgium. Now based in Lisbon, he has refined his sound, drawing inspiration from electronic, ambient, post-punk, and experimental music.
De Gaer's instruments of choice include the Tempest and Syntrx, further processed through an array of pedals to shape and refine his sonic palette, as heard on his latest LP Contours (2024). 'With the underlying anxiety brought on by today’s societal and political unrest, the album oscillates between outlandish moods and reflections on the world, and hopeful glimpses into a utopian future we only dare to dream of'.

'A groove addict since day one, ROKO has been mixing beats since 2005 when getting deeper into the emerging sounds of the UK underground. Originally hailing from Helsinki, the Finnish selector, based in London from 2002 until 2009 and in Berlin from 2009 until 2016, rode the waves in Brazil for 6 years, playing clubs from São Paulo to Porto Alegre and Salvador to Manaus before finding a new home in Palermo, Sicily.
ROKO's weekly show ran for eight years on the international #1 bass music internet radio SUB.FM from his Berlin studio. During that period, he played regularly around Europe; from Poland, Czech Republic and to Hungary, to Norway, Estonia and Denmark, as well as Berlin clubs the likes of Berghain, Tresor and Golden Gate. From 2010 to 2011, ROKO co-organised the Hotflush Recordings night at Horst Krzbrg with label head Scuba, and for the next three years, he ran parties with the Berlin-based Shlomp collective.
