Our very own hostess with the most-ess, Carδamo is a wizard-fairy with an MA hailing from kebab-land. When they’re not teaching at university (yes, they are apparently trusted to teach in multiple accredited institutions), they are making music with other children of disappointed parents. Mixing dance music with a brand of mental illness and absurdism, comes a body of work that has been funded by YOU, the taxpayer. Congratulations. A gender-bending, genre-bending force of nature. Carδamo is a London-based queer artist and producer who’s redefining what pop music can be.

With backing from tastemakers like BBC Radio 1’s Jaguar and a spot as one of the Roundhouse’s own Resident Artists for 2025/26, Carδamo is a name you need to know. From glitching hyperpop anthems to club-focused chaos and nods to their Italian and Cypriot heritage, their music is an exhilarating, personal, and unforgettable journey. 

Eclectic. Unpredictable. Absolutely unhinged in the best way. Sawdu Plushia is a genre-bending artist known for electronic bangers that confuse the general public.  Cosplaying as Luka Loka at The Sparkle Plaza and making music with the Trail Mix girls, Sawdu makes music within a wonderful world of shagadelic and nonsensical characters. Their sound is as chaotic as it is addictive. Tracks like “Popstar” showcase a personality that’s part pop sensation, part mischievous troublemaker, and we’re here for every second of it.

The mutant voice of the new underground, and we mean that in the best way possible. Hailing from East London with Black British Jamaican roots, Reptile B is a boundary-smashing force of nature who fuses grime, UK drill, dancehall, jungle, and punk into something entirely his own. Think queer exorcism meets anime rage, set to basslines that could punch through concrete. You don’t want to miss this.
