A prodigious producer and a central base of the Portuguese ethereal trap imaginary, anchor of the musical terrains on which Frost.y delivers his talents in his work, Princess reveals himself with each new production as a multiple and promising talent – he conjures glacial tundras “ambient pop” sparkling with the same ease that he composes sweet melodies or industrial trap. More than a promising talent, it would be difficult to imagine in 2023 the “soundcloud rap” movement in Portugal, without Princess matrimonially immersed in it. Princess’ productions mirror her time, reflecting it, revealing it.
Nests is a Portuguese producer who started his career in 2020, focused on the genres of trap, cloud rap and electronic music. Having little connection to the Portuguese soundcloud universe, he has been tracing a musical career on foreign soils, having been one of the creators of the mansionboys collective. After his debut as a DJ in the first edition, Nests returns again to the poster to bring us a great diversity of musical genres.
Instrumental to Portuguese soundcloud culture, frost.y (“frost why”) creates pure, crystalline music, songs that reflect personal experiences and break taboos, addressing themes such as spirituality, the occult, naturalism, romance, intimacy, fantasy, escapism and personal transformation – the roots of human access, in reality. Brings all of this into a sonic miasma where cloud rap, psychedelia, experimentalia, folk, lullabies and a natural exploratory edge, reminiscent of a child’s curiosity, intersect in an incandescent dance of ethereality. It features collaborations with artists such as princess, ben yosei and DRVGジラ. The music offers the best, most vivid and meditative invitation to be submerged in the hypervibrant world that frost.y builds, in the spells, elementarity and magic that exist in it.
When we talk about some of the biggest figures in Portuguese Soundcloud in recent years, B4ICRY2 is undoubtedly a name that we cannot forget to highlight. Starting his career in 2019, he has been releasing songs like “FRACO”, “TAROT” and “FarAway”. He is a complete artist, both delivering songs full of energy like “E”, and managing to deliver deep and melancholic songs where he opens up and shows us his most fragile and personal side, like the track “NadaDe+”. In 2021, he released his first album “B4HER”, which features YURA and BLEACH MANE. B4ICRY2 returns now for another edition of Daydream and promises a great performance on stage.

He started making music in 2019 and drawing the attention of the Portuguese underground community. He is part of the group Hate Rain Records, which includes the artists Hellbae, Mizu and Yura.
