FILTRS

A competition for independent Latvian electronic music producers, run by KINETIC with Radio NABA and Erica Synths. Each edition, a jury picks ten finalists from new, unreleased techno and close-to-techno tracks — and KINETIC records releases them.

To motivate independent electronic music producers in Latvia and shine a spotlight on them, KINETIC — in collaboration with Radio NABA and Latvian instrument maker Erica Synths — organised the FILTRS competition for the second year in a row. Only Latvian producers with new, previously unreleased work in techno or close-to-techno genres could enter.

From the 47 entries submitted, the Latvian jury selected 10 finalists, which were then put to the audience and an international jury.
