Dis Fig, Space Afrika - Stubnitz presents: Exit Elbbrücken

As a producer, performer, vocalist, and DJ, Felicia Chen aka Dis Fig has long resisted simple categorization. She cut her teeth in New York City's scrappy DIY noise scene before finding her footing in Berlin's experimental electronic underground, where her distinctive artistic sensibility began to crystallize. Known for her intensely physical live performances, Chen dissolves boundaries between audience and performer, using her acrobatic voice and full body to transmit emotional complexity that's deeper than language. Whether through overwhelming walls of sound or barely audible whispers, her work invites shared vulnerability and collective catharsis. She will be touring wiht her new Album What To Make Of These Mortal Hands out on Thill Jockey.

Space Afrika, the Manchester/Berlin-based duo of Joshua Tarelle Reid and Joshua Inyang, make raw, intensely detailed, visceral music with shades of ambient, trip-hop, techno, and modern classical, drawing spacious urban dubscapes from the contours of their city. Quiet Storm, the duo's highly anticipated follow-up to their 2021 LP on Dais Records, expands on its predecessor’s sound and scale in every direction as a sprawling, collaborative vision shaped with profound patience and intention. The leap, both technical and emotional, outlines the duo’s development — two polymath producers, composers, performers, and visual artists who’ve met expectations with mastery, embedding their own coming-of-age story within a moving suite of cathartic abstraction. Songs allude to spirituality and the human condition, the tension between boldness and softness, ambition and the inner demons that persist.
