Miss Petty as you've never heard her before. ❤️🔥 Old hits in new, more ambient arrangements by producer Mylia. ✨ This is the full premiere of this new set, designed to show the drag queen's music in a new light, without all the glitter and pomp.
Producer, singer and rapper Tokyo Drift combines rap aesthetics and urban songwriting and is another amazing artist to look forward to seeing at Dezi this year. 💜 Her voice is a major spice on Rohony's popular Superfly album, and she brings melancholy in the form of trap beats set to guitar melodies on other records. 🌆🎶
Introducing Cringe Prince! 🤴 This rap nobleman and producer not only represents the Czech underground, but this year he released successful EPs "Ace of Spades" and "deepfried". But Cringe Prince is not just an artist - he is the creator of digital artifacts that you can snort right through your headphones! 🎧 And on stage? He lights a rap on fire, lets it burn, and then throws his remains on his head!
Yasha 96, the indie-pop project of Jáchym Kovář from Berlin, draws inspiration from the evocative 90s singer-songwriter sound and combines it with a fresh indie-pop style. This hidden treasure of the Czech alternative scene won the hearts of fans with his album "The Boy Who Came Here From The Dust," which Reflektor named one of the best indiepop albums of 2021.
BoLs/sLoB is a young Czech musician from Prague who brings us his latest work Esoteric Garden. Released on Berlin's progressive Soul Feeder label, this album offers a wide range of genres and emotions. 🎧🌸 But don't just expect pure club beats. BoLs/sLoB brings a rich musical experience that will appeal to all lovers of new musical discoveries.
Gambrz Reprs at Deziluze! 🔥 With over 17 years on the scene and their fifth full-length album "Sickness of Kings" in the bag, Gambrz Reprs are about to take over our stage! 🎶 Look forward to a show that you will hardly see among rappers. It's not for nothing that the band founded Sect, which is very popular with all outcasts and infidels!
Fæ Bestia is a producer, singer and winner of the Vinyl Award for BASTL ELECTRONIC TRACK 2023, based in Prague. Her genre and mood-shifting songs, accompanied by ethereal slash rap vocals, will send the listener on an interplanetary journey. ❤️🔥 🎀 With her singles, the EP "COSA DIABOLICA" and the full-length album "ALEGORIA" (released in 2023), Fæ Bestia has gained a wide fan base and critical acclaim.

Chief Bromden is a five-piece experimental math-rock band that brings incredible energy and passion to their music. The band has released two albums and one EP during their existence, with their latest release in/tense logic seeing the light of day in March 2024 under the Full Moon Forum label. With their powerful songs, rich sound and emotion, you're guaranteed to fall into this band's musical world. 🔥🎸
Dvouhlavej Kluk is the band of musician and lyricist Vojtěch Černý, who combines alternative music and poetry in his work. At Deziluz they will present songs from their planned new album "The Disappearance of D. F. Wallace", which will impress with its unique sound and deep lyrics. 📜🎸
Take a look into a world full of strange flowers, black lipstick and hungry seagulls - all this makes up the unique world of this Pilsen band. 🌺🖤 Ida the Young stands out with its straightforward vocals and hypnotic lyrics, accompanied by colourful instrumentation. With their debut EP "Strange Shaped Flowers" and upcoming second EP "Silver Thing", they will definitely get you excited. ✨
MMNK is a bunch from Brno, shaking on the wave of experimental rock with cheeky and clever lyrics, somewhere between Prague Selection and Moravian Sparrow. Their debut album "Uměnení 2: Ohnivá vengeance" was released on February 4, 2022 on the Brno label Kabinet Records and offers a mix of post-hardcore, prog rock, math rock, art rock, noise, pop, Brno alternative and jazz breaks. 🔥🎸
Prog-fusion orchestra Sun Apollo returns with an even dirtier sound and a new line-up! Their ranks include members of Prague bands such as Farmer's Cabrio, Purplefox Town, Sundrinker, Deaf Platypus and Rekreace. Look forward to new work and more adventurous versions of already released songs. In addition, you can expect a fireshow performed by Štěpán Hruška, which will add even more energy and visual magic to the performance. 🔥
Niko BRA is one girl and ninety-nine buttons. On the spot, they come together to create music that Kafka might want to dance to. 🐛 While we don't know if he'd actually dance, those who love live synths and strong rhythm will surely be in for a treat. Niko doesn't always perform alone - she also hosts "Cables", synth jam Wednesdays where you can come to listen or even join in. Don't miss a taste of it the last weekend of June in Siřem at the Deziluze festival. 💜
Syntax Error is an experimental electronic group that combines a wide range of musical influences such as ambient, industrial, noise and glitch rock. With layers of synths, bass lines and samples, complemented by alternative vocals, they deliver an incredibly immersive musical experience. 🎹🎸🎤
Zapomělsem, a project led by Brno-based singer-songwriter Ales Macenauer, dominated the Czech music scene with their album "Moon in a Vase" in 2021. Now they are back with their new album "Jesnou" and bringing us even more electronic vibes! 🎸💥 Synths, dance beats and post-punk guitars will put you in another world. Reflektor ranked it in the top 10 records of last year and Vinyla named it album of the week! 🏆 Don't forget to come enjoy this musical treat at our festival! 🎤
Emotionally Spoonfed, a two-piece formation from Prague, started their musical journey in December 2020. After a one-year hiatus, they are back with a renewed show and a second album called "SABOTAGE". 🎶 The goal with this album was to better capture that fiery concert energy and bring it to the record. 💥 Don't forget to enjoy this dose of music this year at Deziluze!
Another banger performer at this year's Deziluze - ŠatySVlečkou! 💃 His DJ sets are like a walk on your own TikTok, where every track feels like it's just for you. Confetti gunem fills the dancefloor with a variety of genres, from RnB and indie to 00s guilty pleasure and rap to hyperpop. 🎶 At the end of the day, it's clear that you can't expect anything but raw & oddly satisfying connections between music that seemingly can't be connected from a dude in a coro band. 💥
This group is inspired by the work of Nikolai Klastracinsky, a talented musician who worked in Eastern Europe at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. He was born in Belarus and continued his musical journey in the city of St. Petersburg, where his uncle taught at the local university. Although unfortunately Klastracinski's complete compositions have not survived, the Klastracinski/project/ group has attempted to use presumed excerpts and philosophy from his compositions. 🎵
The Ashtrays are a band born in the spirit of 50's rock'n'roll, seeking a new sound combining the spirit of the last century with the energy of today's music. 🎸 With their debut album "Go Cats!" they embarked on an autumn tour with stops in Bratislava and Vienna, and a sold-out Prague launch! Their live performances prove that rock'n'roll is still a vibrant and alive genre even today. 🎶
Another band that will show up again at this year's festival is Russian Sleep Experiment! ❤️🔥
Chateau is a mostly dark-pop project of singer Hana Krejčová, who has studied songwriting and classical singing. The band's music is based on metaphorical and intimate melancholic lyrics and ethereal sounding melodic lines. Hanka is accompanied by Šimon Šerý (Klastracinski/project/, Dvouhlavej Kluk) on electric guitar and Kryštof Kučera (lil Crème brûlée) holds the synthetic surfaces.
A budding band from Prague, Šerosvět, brings old influences to their music in a new form. Their distinctive lyrics on peculiar themes and a musical style that moves from punk to psychedelia and back again guarantee an unforgettable experience. Come and enjoy their acoustic set in the exhibition space for a week at the Deziluze festival and get carried away by the unique atmosphere. 🌌🎶
