- Gionatan Scali - Gionatan Scali is a multifaceted East London-based musician, writer, and visual artist originally from Turin, Italy.

With two critically acclaimed LPs ("Ride On" and "A Prophet after his Turkish Bath") and notable singles like "Perfect Town" (2020) and "Ride On" (2022) under his belt, Gionatan's work has been praised for its ethereal, genre-defying style.

"Scali’s “mystical soft-core” sound is built on a dreamlike balancing act of overlapping layers. A powerful and expansive sound with psychedelia, krautrock, and Middle Eastern influences is created by slurred vocals and melodic riffs." - Illustrate magazine.
