BRAGOLIN Biography:

Bragolin is a Dutch post-punk/dark wave project by Edwin van der Velde. The music contains influences from various decades with ‘80s baritone guitar, synths and drummachines, '60s/'70s organs and ’90’s Shoegaze guitars. The lyrics are inspired by post-apocalyptic and horror movies.

In 2018 the debut album I Saw Nothing Good so I Left was released with Into Those Woods as the first music video. The song with its sticky baritone melody by now is a modern-day dance floor classic with over 10 million all-time streams. The album was produced by Van der Velde together with former band member Isolde Woudstra and mixed by René Jongeneelen, with whom Van Der Velde also worked on various records on his Dutch Wave project Zwarte Poëzie. In 2019 Van Der Velde teamed up with Adam Tristar to write the ‘Bragolin vs Adam Tristar' album Let out the Noise Inside.

Bragolin has played near 100 shows at various festivals and clubs. Highlights have been WGT, Amphi, Cold Hearted, Extramuralhas, Kalabalik and touring in South America. From 2020 Edwin Daatselaar joined Bragolin as synth player to form the current live duo.

At the start of 2026 Bragolin will follow up with a new album ‘I Don’t Like What It Does To Me’, with songs being released one by one.

CARRELLEE Biography:

Carrellee is an ethereal dark-wave singer-songwriter from Madison, Wisconsin (US). Her debut album Scale of Dreams was released in 2022 on Negative Gain Productions. The album quickly sold out (and was repressed). She supported the album by touring extensively, playing over 200 shows between 2022 and 2024.

Major highlights include performances at Coldwaves Festival in Chicago, Verboden Festival in Vancouver and opening for Chris Corner from Sneaker Pimp’s solo project IAMX on a string of dates throughout the Midwest. In May 2025, Carrellee released her sophomore album via Young & Cold Records. Mixed largely by Maurizio Baggio (Boy Harsher, Sextile) and mastered by Josh Bonati (Slowdive, Drab Majesty) the album significantly expanded her palette and following.

Online music site Post-Punk describes the songs as having “eerie allure, as her soft, whispering vocals glide over scorched synths and sharp beats. Think Crystal Castles or The Knife after a hard night out, or Ladytron with a little more edge." The album’s biggest single “Captain” has been streamed over a million times on Spotify since its release. Carrellee also spent much of 2024 and 2025 touring Europe and the US as the backing vocalist and synth player for IAMX (solo project of Chris Corner of Sneaker Pimps).
