AZU TIWALINE (Tunisia, Live Performance)

Azu Tiwaline: It's a new name for a new spirit. The one of a producer willing to find a new sound in her origins which take root in the Sahara and El Djerid region in the south of Tunisia. A sound from the desert, drawing on Berberian and Saharan trance music that connects human beings with Nature.

Draw Me A Silence, conceived as a diptych, reveals to us the multiple facets of Azu Tiwaline's identity. Untying the links that unite Berber music, dub culture and techno hypnosis, Azu Tiwaline invites us to refocus on our senses and our Nature. She knows how to use contrasts between light and the invisible, exploring the complexity of our emotions and the mystery that emanates from them, in a polyrhythmic chiaroscuro that runs through each of her titles.

PHAELEH (Bristol UK)

Matthew "Matt" Preston (Phaeleh, pronounced Fella) is a multi-instrumentalist, producer and DJ, residing in Bristol, England. The name came from an aesthetic decision, to stand out visually rather than having a specific meaning.

He produces music that could be loosely described as cinematic electronica, but his roots are in dubstep, garage and house. Phaeleh himself describes his music as "electronic bass music" with a heavy emphasis on melody and emotional content. His main inspirations are Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin, LTJ Bukem, Global Communication and Brian Eno. His compositions are a fusion of live instrumentation and electronic production.
