Obi Blanche X Kristina Tica (post-digital-punk) + Rooves (psych/post-rock, bln)

OBI BLANCHE and KRISTINA TICA met in Linz, Austria, during an unexpected B2B DJ set and quickly recognised a shared language in self-built instruments, minimal beats, and raw melodic structures.

In 2024, they formalised their collaboration under the concept of #postdigitalpunk, a platform merging DIY instrument building, minimal songs of melankolika and somatic performance.

Their live set moves between dance floor momentum and tangible experimentation with self-built guitars. Obi Blanche’s sound balances dirty transistor rhythms with unstable, expressive guitar textures, shaped by years of work across experimental and popular contexts. Kristina Tica, rooted in the Belgrade underground, performs on Brake, a custom-built bass. Her minimal yet heavy low-end lines and worn baritone vocals bring depth and grit to the sound.

Influenced by underground club culture, art spaces, and experimental performance, the duo creates live environments where body, bass, and tension become part of the composition.

ROOVES is a Berlin-based psych-prog post-punk quartet that boils darkly-absurd spoken word with blistering guitar solos, hypnotic bass grooves, and erratic time signatures. Members Marius Eilbrecht (drums), Luise Brandenberger (bass), Chris Hedges (guitar), and Allison Krupp (keys, vocals) explore the boundaries of genre for an esoteric yet staunchly good time.
