Futura Resistenza, South of North and Meakusma are thrilled to announce a September 2025 tour featuring Radio Hito, Stilluppsteypa, and Nboj Tespo at selected venues in Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, and France.
RADIO HITO (Kraak, Maple Death, Meakusma – BE)
The Radio Hito project strikes a balance between discreet virtuosity and an economy of means, featuring melodic lyricism and musical minimalism. It combines experimentation with permanence and effectiveness. Radio Hito is Zen My Nguyen on voice, Casio, piano, and keyboards. A navigator with multiple talents and home ports, she has been developing unique sound proposals for several years.
STILLUPPSTEYPA (Futura Resistenza, Ultra Eczema – IS)
Stilluppsteypa is an Icelandic experimental electronic group based in Reykjavík. Formed as a trio in the early 1990s, the group became a duo in 2002 and has since continued exploring abstract sound and collage-based composition. Their work spans multi-layered, often humorous experiments with electronics, tape, voice, and texture. The duo’s latest Schokolino Choco Loco album on Futura Resistenza continues their exploration of chaotic structures and dense sonic layering.
NBOJ TESPO (South of North – JP)
Japanese drummer and producer Takafumi Okada has had his hands in several projects over the last 12 years or so, and, like with his music, patterns emerge: his discography is full of DIY sounds, an unconventional attitude to production, and an ability to create tension and mystery with layered polyrhythmic grooves.
Takafumi is well known as the former drummer of goat, the experimental band from Osaka. His mathematical lock-grooves helped to zone-out minds and levitate audiences between 2017-2023, notably on GOAT‘s third album “Joy In Fear”. Prior to that, Takafumi was playing in his trio The Noup, a formation of guitar, bass, drums and synths that found their own balance of no wave and trippy homemade sounds over the course of several releases since 2013.
Under his Manisdron alias, Takafumi has a clutch of weighty records and tapes. In particular a 12′′ EP and double LP “Body of Void” on US label L.I.E.S. demonstrates his high-octane, industrial style, made on hardware and a drum kit. There are also Manisdron tapes of glitchy scatterbomb electronics to be discovered on Takafumi‘s own label Cathodic.
Takafumi‘s new project Nboj Tespo is another intriguing offshoot. Warm electronic sounds are layered with polymetric rhythms across nine tracks, and arranged in such a way as to bring listeners into a hypnotic dance state. Takafumi combines his Elektron Machinedrum, Boss delay pedal and Novation Bass Station 2 at his home studio, to produce minimal grooves that grow into fully-fledged creatures and take on a life of their own.
