Tony Renaissance / Ornella Rodriguez / Antonia XM
Tony Renaissance, alias of musician and artist Tony Wagner, explores the intrinsic connections between soft and harsh sounds while opening space for care and exaltation. Dealing with loss, lust, pain, desire, queer joy and transformation, Tony Renaissance’s sound seeks intensities on an emotional spectrum. Sensitively constructed vocal sample arrangements topped with spoken texts contrast rhythmic noise productions with distorted glitching vocals, pushing pulses up to 163bpm. Tony is working as promoter, event organizer and co-manager of the Vienna based label Tender Matter within which they are highlighting the work of queer, non-binary, Trans and gender nonconforming artists in electronic music. Tony Renaissance’s EP “Dreamreality” was released in 2020 and their follow up EP “Xxxerberus” in 2022 via Tender Matter.
Ornella Rodriguez is an Austrian DJ. From Techno to House to Hip-Hop, she delivers it all. Every now and then she releases a "Hip-Hop n´stuff"-Mix with her favourite tracks under a Pseudonym called "Schwaiger Annelies" but ultimately her heart belongs to techno, though she is influenced and inspired by a multitude of genres.
Antonia XM is a DJ, producer, vocalist and label curator based in Vienna, Austria. In 2016 Antonia co-founded the label Ashida Park aiming to build an accessible platform for new and unconventional forms of club- and experimental music, visual art and digital dialog. Antonia’s productions and DJ sets range from Hard Dance to nostalgic Ambient or Pop, all the way to various hybrid forms of experimental club music, Dembow, Rap and more - always building on heavy emotions somewhere in between intimacy and excess. Antonia has released her debut EP „DEMONS“ on Ashida Park and has previously released tracks and remixes on various labels such as Soulfeeder, Hard Trade, Paynomindtous or Cime.
