upsammy & Jonathan Castro^NL+PE

Having studied Image and Media Technology at the Utrecht University of the Arts, upsammy is intrigued by the rhythms and vibrational qualities of her surroundings – shaping a singular aesthetic that blurs the synthetic – natural divide. As a multidisciplinary artist she researches these interactions through sound, photography and video, explorations which simultaneously influence her music production process. Since 2017, Torsing has released a string of singles and EPs on labels Nous’klaer Audio, AD93 and Die Orakel. Her gift for full-length composition is showcased through her albums on Nous’klaer Audio (Wild Chamber, 2019) and Dekmantel (Zoom, 2020). Torsing lives and works in Amsterdam.

Adventurous and scenic, experimental and peculiar: through these core values, upsammy found her own distinct way to bigger festival stages and DJ booths. With a liking for oddball techno and the most leftfield corners of drum & bass, Torsing goes to the bottom of the well when it comes to providing refreshing clubbing experiences. Become a witness of the musical synesthesia of upsammy during Etmaal.

Jonathan Castro Alejos is a Peruvian graphic designer and multidisciplinary artist based in Amsterdam who works with sound, video, installation, and performance. His explorative-based practice oscillates between the real and the fictitious, assembling and reassembling collected raw materials embedded with different qualities and identities to reconstruct them into surfaces, objects, visual languages, and soundscapes.
