Submit your track to I AM MAD, curated by Aphty Khéa, a rage rave playlist across all genres and a space for independent and emerging queer artists to be heard.

I AM MAD isn't about staying inside one sound. It's a platform: queer and questioning artists making pop, rock, hip-hop, electronic, folk or anything in between are welcome here. What unites the playlist isn't genre, it's honesty, defiance, and the refusal to shrink.

Expect a soundscape that swings between aggression and vulnerability, tracks that tackle mental health, gender identity, queerness, anti-capitalism and existentialism, and artists who aren't afraid to be loud about who they are. If you're searching for a playlist that questions the status quo and artists who hit as hard as they mean it, I AM MAD is built for you.

Are you an independent or emerging queer artist, in any genre, whose music resonates with this energy? Submit your track and become part of I AM MAD!

About the Curator

What to expect in our I AM MAD Playlist?

I AM MAD Playlist:: Self-expression to the maximum level. I AM MAD dives into pure energy beyond sounds.

A platform, not a genre:: I AM MAD isn't defined by style, but by who gets to be heard. It's a space for independent and emerging queer artists across every genre, expect anything, as long as it's honest.

Curated by APHTY KHÉA:: Handpicked by Aphty Khéa to reflect a world where rage is sacred, queerness is loud, and the dancefloor is a place to feel everything at once.

Queer Greek-British artist-producer, singer and visual artist Aphty Khéa blends driving beats and memorable melodies that journey from satisfying harmonies to distorted, aggressive tongue-in-cheek shouting. Their top-lines are performed in English and Greek, with productions exploring techno-punk, UK rave (drum & bass, breakbeat, two-step, UKG), electroclash and electropunk. With themes of rage, queerness, and mental health, they use music as catharsis, challenging cisheteropatriarchy. With a musical background spanning choir from age six, classical singing and piano, and a win at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in Greece that helped shape their anti-nationalist stance, Aphty is currently releasing a 7–8 track EP, including singles "I Am Mad," "Leave Me Alone", "Troublemaker," and "Mass Surveillance".

Known for charged, dynamic live performances featuring crowdsurfing, mosh pits, pogo and dancing, Aphty Khéa has performed in several cities across Europe! Don't miss out their next dates!
