Man Rei

Man Rei is the ongoing project of Estonian-born artist Kristin Reiman. As Man Rei, they meld fragmented lyrics, mangled voices, smeared samples and hazy guitar loops into foggy walls of sound.

Reiman’s Man Rei alias runs tangentially to their art practice, where they use sound, speech, and writing to explore the discomfort and malaise of human consciousness through various uncanny outputs.

Reiman's 2024 album, 'Thread', was included in Boomkat's albums of the year. 'Man Rei, elevates and expands the choral tradition of their Baltic homeland with the smudged drift of this quietly epic new album. A moody, dimly lit summoning of ambient music touched by the enduring influence of classic dreampop, it’s a record full of pared-down arrangements and luxurious instrumentation, elevated by goosebump inducing vocals' - Boomkat.

Ugnė Uma

Vilnius-born, Berlin-based artist Ugnė Uma explores vocal passages with an off-tune piano, radio samples, echoes from lo-fi house and modern music, making it sound like a ballad from the sirens with loose fit jeans. Folklore coming from the busy city.

Her previously released work includes the split-side album 'Tam Tikri Objektai Erdvèje', made with LA-based saxophonist Sam Gendel for Meakusma's in-house label.
