The music diversity platform

The Music Diversity Platform is a collaboration between ∄ (aka K41) and the femme-led collective CUTIECORE. The Platform is a FLINTA-centric project aimed at cultivating gender diversity in the music scene. It’s a space for playful sonic exploration and unapologetic expression which challenges the dated norms often encountered in today’s scene. No genre boundaries.

Kate Lizzerd - 03/02/2024

DJ, visual artist, experimental dancer. Explorer of incomprehensible. The main idea of her artistic exploration is everything that gives you a sense of uneasiness - not deliberately scary, but something that’s just slightly off.

In her DJ sets she collects music that creates a feeling of distortion. Echoes, detuned sounds, and songs in forgotten languages, combined with energetic electronic music, create a familiar feeling of being on the verge of insanity when you are happy to immerse in your paranoid phantasies and distorted dreams.

Reizor Zero - 03/02/2024

Kyiv-based DJ-enthusiast and prose writer. Queer and schizoid. The Platform of Musical Diversity graduate. Explores the whimsical, unusual and gloomy to then share the impressions with people through own art. Values originality and freedom of self-expression above all.

Plays the sounds of void amidst the sand wastelands surrounded by power lines with their noise of electricity flowing through the wires combined with the hearing pseudohallucinations of an industrial factory. In other words, experimenting with rhythmic noise, power electronics and industrial sounds.

äsc3ea - 03/02/2024

äsc3ea (Emma Hamza Grünwald) is a live performer, composer & visual artist based in Kyiv (born in Baku, Azerbaijan). Emma composes experimental deconstructed sound and creates visuals combining different media.

Experimenting with a variety of styles and techniques, she might create dark ambient pieces with haunting melodies, then layer on top of it marching drum beats to create a sense of tension and unease. Or blend glitchy, distorted industrial rhythms with calming eastern soundscapes. For more playful tracks, she might turn to breakbeats, bass & dub to get bodies moving and unwind. Her sound is all about experimentation and playfulness.

LittleBrightStar - 03/02/2024

LittleBrightStar (Arthur Vovchenko) is a multidisciplinary artist from Kyiv who, through his creativity, raises questions of self-acceptance of inner identities through cruelty and love.

As a club industry worker, Arthur has a formed personal vision of the meaning of parties - to bring joy even in the darkest times.

"I am a very anxious person. At some point, this emotion overwhelmed the feeling of joy at parties. Now I want to play music that will make people feel like children, expanding their perception of what a party is and provoking them to enjoy it."
