Denesh
Denesh is a DJ and producer from North London, known for his eclectic and unpolished approach to production and performance. Under Acolytes moniker, he’s released a variety of records that span multiple genres, including albums on Alter and Xquisite Releases.

His upcoming album will be released on Relaxin Records. https://soundcloud.com/acolytesloc
Man Made Hill
The solo project of Hamilton, Ontario’s Randy Gagne has been steadily percolating in the Canadian experimental underground for the past 20 years. Originating in the basement murk of the DIY noise tape scene, he has thus blossomed into a confusing, and exciting synth-pop freak! His live offering congeals performance art, delusional funk, and existential comedy into a dank and bewildering physical experience. Man Made Hill’s latest album ‘Delicious Logo’ was released in May 2025 by Telephone Explosion Records, and features collaborations with Becky Katz (as one of The Katz Sisters) and Relaxin Records’ Lolina. https://manmadehill.bandcamp.com/album/delicious-logo https://youtu.be/vJk6fL8aGxI?
Please
Please is the experimental surrealist solo project of Hamilton, Ontario-based multidisciplinary artist and performer Becky Katz (Sourpussy, glassEYElashes, Fakakta Twins). With spur-of-the-moment improvisations that weave together voice samples with live instrumentation, Please cracks open a disorienting portal that invites listeners into her own musical psyche of phantasmagoric audio collages, all with a gleeful grin on her face. https://pleaseplease.bandcamp.com/
Balmainjeans
Balmainjeans is the dj alter ego of Lolina. She runs a monthly mid week club night in London called Distressd with previous dj sets by Denesh, Yumi, Cõvco and Ship Sket. Some people who’ve been seen wearing Balmain jeans include Vanessa in Gossip Girl, Lindsay Lohan, 21 Savage and other Atlanta rappers, Estonian fashion models, Fergie and Lil Wayne. https://on.soundcloud.com/7BqjYKegaZEurATZ7E
