EXTREME ANIMALS

Over the past 10 years, Extreme Animals (Jacob Ciocci and David Wightman) have released countless CD-Rs, tapes and videos and gone on self-booked DIY tours at least once a year, influencing a wide array of younger musicians, artists and video-makers with their unique combination of noise, dance music, and performance art.

Blake Parker

A lot like you, Blake Parker (formerly Blake Saint David), is a self-proclaimed professional hobbyist. A passionate multi-instrumentalist, graphic designer, and filmmaker with ideas nothing short of original and innovative, also a philosopher who's words can be seen as incredibly thought provoking and cutting edge. Their most recently completed body of work, Be Your Own Celebrity, demanded more than the audience's ear, with mocumentary style skits and a campaign that span across all social media platforms and websites, and received attention from the likes of Fader Magazine and Pigeons and Planes with the help from indie label Sooper Records and BIZ3 Publicity's Ryan Cunningham.

DRASII

Drasii is an electronic music project consisting of Lisa Armstrong (synths, vocals) and Chris Kalis (synths, drum machines, samples), who are also members of the band Chandeliers. Influenced by 90s House and Techno, ambient film scores, and cosmic disco, Drasii songs incorporate analog and digital synthesizers tuned to resonate with the electromagnetic frequencies of the Earth.
