Other new names include Rodrigo Amarante, Kevin Morby, Daniel Calder, Snøffeltøffs, Mile Me Deaf, Fist City, Bad Vision, Fright Eye, Yung, Tweens, Blouse, Cave, Waiver, Klaus Johann Grobe, Aaron Dilloway, Purging Light, Arvind Ganga, Dotlights and Bear Bones, Lay Low.

There’s also an excellent contingent of Polish acts, including Quietus favourite Stara Rzeka, Innercity Ensemble, free jazz/electronics outfits Mikrokolektyw and Baaba, noise rock groups Kristen and Hokei and hip hop collective Napszyklat.
