3NDLES5 presents jonatan leandoer96 x Frederik Valentin, Ecco2K, oqbqbo & Scandinavian Star, Aya Gloomy | Vivid LIVE

An eclectic night of cutting-edge ambient sound, synth pop, hip-hop and wild electronic beats from Scandinavia and beyond, curated by Sydney underground legend 3NDLES5.

jonatan leandoer96

jonatan leandoer96 is the long-running side project and alter-ego of Swedish rapper Yung Lean, who first began using the moniker on his 2016 mixtape 'Psychopath Ballads'. Trading his more famous persona’s emo rap for piano ballads, diaristic songwriting, acoustic riffs and ambient soundscapes, jonatan leandoer96 moved from the indie rock of 2019’s Nectar to the full-tilt genre fusion of 2020’s Blodhundar & Lullabies. Last year saw Leandoer embrace his inner crooner on Sugar World, an eclectic pop collaboration with Frederik Valentin that Pitchfork called “less hypnagogic pop than classic Britpop.”

Frederik Valentin

Danish polymath Frederik Valentin started out opening for Green Day and Bloodhound Gang as a member of edgelord butt-rockers Rock Hard Power Spray, before taking a turn toward the experimental side of electronic, ambient and acoustic music. He formed the duo Kyo with Posh Isolation's Hannes Norrvide, and has released four acclaimed albums with labelmate Loke Rahbek (aka Croatian Amor): Buy Corals Online (2017), Elephant (2020), Together (2022) and The Friend's Place (2023).

Scandinavian Star

The solo project of Danish artist and Lust For Youth musician Malthe Fischer, Scandinavian Star has generated buzz in the underground music community with his icy synths, elegiac choral pads, booming basslines and ambient soundscapes.

3NDLES5

Masterful hooliganism from the deep, dank Sydney underground, 3NDLES5 is the off-kilter electronic music project from Mitch Tolman, a former member of local post-punk legends Low Life. In 2023, 3NDLES5 curated the Posh isolation event for Vivid LIVE.
