ABOUT

Dubai's Espervene shatters electronic music boundaries. Liz Alvarez and JJ De Guzman craft raw soundscapes that punch through convention—ambient pads collide with fuzzy echoes while melodic guitar riffs dance beneath Liz's haunting vocals. Formed in 2019, the husband-wife team of Liz Alvarez (vocals/synth/production) and JJ De Guzman (guitars/sampling) emerged from the ashes of a four-piece band, distilling their vision into something more intimate and boundary-pushing.

 

Born from personal struggle, their sound transforms life's darkness into bold musical statements. Their sound weaves Liz's warm vocals through a tapestry of fuzzy echoes, ambient textures, and melodic guitar work—transforming personal struggles into hauntingly beautiful sonic explorations. Neither fully inside nor outside the box of conventional music, espervene thrives in the shadows between accessibility and experimentation.

​

Their captivating performances have graced prestigious venues across the UAE, including Public Art Abu Dhabi Biennale, Sikka Arts & Design Festival, Emirates LitFest, and NYUAD.
