Since its inception, NoSax NoClar has established itself as one of the most distinctive and essential acts on the contemporary jazz and world music scenes. Led by saxophonist and clarinettist Bastien Weeger and bass clarinettist and beatboxer Julien Stella, the duo has developed an instantly recognizable sound, where virtuosity, physical engagement and melodic power come together in a deeply organic musical language.

Blood Quartet is an experimental band formed in Barcelona in 2015 by New Yorker Mark Cunningham (Mars, Don King, Raeo) alongside Catalan musicians Kike Bela, Lluís Rueda, and Carles Esteban. Their sound, featuring a hypnotic and cinematic aesthetic, combines no wave, jazz noir, industrial rock, and free improvisation. They have published five works: Dark Energy (2015), Deep Red (2016), Until My Darkness Goes (2018), Root 7 (2022), and, in collaboration with Dongyang Gozupa, Terra Ignota (2025). Blood Quartet's sound combines improvisation, unsettling atmospheres, and freeform structures inspired by free jazz and industrial rock, marked by a clear underground and experimental sensibility. They stand out for their ability to adapt to other disciplines such as cinema, dance, poetry, or performance art, having collaborated with artists like Miguel Ángel Blanca, Konik Thtr., Blanca Haddad, Ben Brooks, Laila Tafur, and musicians including Za!, Seward, and Julio César Palacio. Their sound is characterized by the use of effect-processed trumpet, distorted guitars, heavy bass, and broken rhyt
