Erlend Bilsbak, better known as Ars Dada, has one leg firmly planted in the world of underground electronic music and the other in the world of art music. This makes his music an eclectic mix of classical music, jazz, hardcore, metal, jungle, IDM, ambient, and any other musical expression that catches his fancy. Ars Dada has played at raves and festivals across Europe and beyond, and has also composed commissioned works for dance performances and film. Hailing from the arctic town of Bodø, Norway, his music is often colored by a dark undercurrent that lurks beneath the surface.
Dr. Roman is an English jungle and drum'n'bass DJ and producer who has been playing at clubs throughout Oslo for the past 10 years. He is an experienced musician from London's underground scene, and a dedicated artist who has devoted his life to spreading his passion for drum'n'bass to audiences. With a unique style and an ability to read the dancefloor, he can create an irresistible vibe at any event. Whether playing at the biggest clubs or smaller, more intimate venues, Dr. Roman will make sure you feel the energy exploding from the PA system. Over the years, he has become one of the most respected DJs in Oslo, and his passion for the music has inspired many other artists and fans.
Ars Dada and Dr. Roman have worked on and off together on music for over ten years and played several gigs together both in Norway and abroad. Together, they create a unique sound that defies categorization, incorporating elements of classical music, jungle, drum'n'bass, and more. Their collaborative music is a testament to their dedication to the art of music and their desire to push boundaries and explore new sounds.

Pour un artiste comme Stazma The Junglechrist qui aura passé plus de dix ans à faire en sorte de transformer l'humain en corps dansant par la musique, Shapeshifter — enfin son premier album ! — est un aboutissement. Stazma y capture la pulsion à l'état brut. De la pochette qui transcende âge, sexe, couleur de peau (et qui paraît être sculptée dans ce matériau vivant qu'est le bois) à son breakcore qui, malgré ses sonorités cybernétiques, est fiévreux : on perd la boule et seul le rythme compte !
