Kristian and Sofie
Tone
"Musically, ... Sofie Nielsen creates a remarkable audiovisual realm in which her light and spell-binding voice adds to a bedrock of crunchy break
beats, abstract compositional structures and melodic sounds and samples... Tone's live performance is a spectacular experience. Accompanied by
VJ Kristian Ravn Ellestad, the two blend together in an audiovisual symbiosis accentuating the moods of Tone's emotionally charged music."

Superlasciva
Superlasciva
Superlasciva es un proyecto musical que busca apelar a la emoción y estimular lo sensorial teniendo a la canción como protagonista. El prolijo sonido
de la banda fusiona ritmos del brit pop con melodías rioplatenses, más emparentadas con los cantautores y tangueros argentinos. En sus arreglos y
ejecuciones se vislumbra un cuidadoso énfasis en las melodías, además de una constante provocación a las emociones de quien escucha y disfruta.

Polly Mackey & the Pleasure Principle
"After watching Polly MacKey's sound check it was apparent to me that she must have the word "talent" written through her like a stick of rock, the
sheer quality of her song writing and her amazing voice are the first thing that strike you about this girl... I have to admit if this is the sort of quality
song writing she is able to produce at 18, it's frightening to think just how good she may become."
