Dreamcrusher

Dreamcrusher is a New York City-based musician and artist, who describes the project as ‘nihilist queer revolt musik.’ Dreamcrusher’s work is at once personal and abstract, revealing and antagonistic; performances and recordings shift between genres while subjecting the characteristic elements—melodies, beats, instrumentation—to distortion until the point of transformation. Dreamcrusher has released dozens of recordings with labels such as PTP, Fire Talk, and Corpus, as well as on Bandcamp and other online platforms. Dreamcrusher is also a member of the duo Centennial Gardens with King Vision Ultra.

 

Morgan Garrett has long been a stalwart presence in independent American experimental music. The 2024 release of Purity on Orange Milk Records, his acclaimed fifth full length and first vinyl release, underscores his commitment to his craft and to the wider world of challenging electronic music. Purity is a response to finding a neighbor’s dead body. While processing this trauma and his own relationship with suicidal ideation, Morgan Garrett created an album of dissonance and fragile voice, oscillating between dense electric guitars and anxiety ridden whispers. This mesh of avant-garde electronics, rock instrumentation and hi-fidelity production is a new assertion in underground music.

 

Sour Spirit are two brothas who are brothers making waves of harsh noise with free jazz flourishes, playing within and in spite of traditional rock structures .. though there are flashes of sounds that recall something that feels familiar, that familiarity is not nostalgic, it’s primordial. See them live, change your life.

 

Kat Nzingha is a multidisciplinary experimental artist born and raised in Philadelphia. Their artistic practices explore abstruse textures through sonic and sculptural materials. Combining their sculptural works with heavy low-end frequencies and celebratory tones they create blissfully cryptic sonic resonances that are the extended bodies of the modified objects they fabricate. Kat Nzingha uses convulsing kicks, metallic percussion, and hyper-processed textures to design sound, and distinct repetitive techniques, industrial materials, and elongated forms in their sculptural works. After releasing an EP, “Angeltribe” on London label TT in 2020, and “Vorphic Skin” on Toothgrinder Press in 2023, Kat Nzingha released the album “Grind” on AngeltribeXTL. Shorty after, they released “RIM” under the artist name “BRYYA” on the label formfourm which consists of heavy focused sound design techniques.
