If ever there was an artist who best espoused the mantra of "think global, act local," Cindy Li -- best known to the world as Ciel -- would be it. Ciel's star has risen within the electronic music scene precisely because she embodies this duality. Her technical finesse and omnivorous tastes as a DJ at the fringe of cutting-edge club culture has been shown off in some of the world's best venues.

Simultaneously, her reputation has been bolstered by a single-minded resolve to bettering her adopted home of Toronto. Add an armful of popular, sparky dancefloor hits as a producer, and this triple threat has made Ciel one of the most hotly-tipped and, crucially, deeply respected breakouts of recent years.

Sepehr is an Iranian-American live act, DJ, and sonic maverick based in New York City. The Bay area native is an electronic music pariah who enjoys disintegrating and destroying dance music tropes through bizarre and wonderful sound potions. These auditory libations have been released on labels like Dark Entries, Planet Euphorique, Osare Editions and Steffi’s Klakson label.

His DJ sets move from enchanted steppers and psychedelic-but-not-boring techno, to haute electro, aphrodisiac acid and freaky jakbeat music. In late 2017 he began performing live PA sets, sonically ranging from potent drum cocktails to psychedelic and oxygenated soundscapes. Sepehr is the label head of Shaytoon Records, an imprint focused on Middle Eastern underground electronic music.

The Seattle DJ cut her teeth as a resident at High & Tight, one of the West Coast's most forward thinking parties. Since then, she's become a national concern, bringing her syruppy bangers and smooth roughness to many of the country's most essential parties. There's a swerving energy to her sets, which hold tight with a calm-but-firm grip before popping off.

Overland is a rave inciter and beat architect shaped by her upbringing in small town Alberta, Canada, and an itinerant way of life guided by the magnetism of disparate musical influences. With notable sojourns in London, UK and Vancouver, British Columbia, Overland’s journey has taken her from organizing hometown warehouse raves and beachside renegades to high profile bookings at Berlin’s Tresor and Boiler Room x Igloofest Montreal.

Echoes of the myriad of people and places that have helped her flourish can be heard in her playful, high-energy mixes and simmering sets that weave morphing basslines with propulsive beats.

Max has been instrumental in the building of Vancouver’s underground for the better part of a decade. His SLAB parties in Vancouver feature the best in underground house, techno and contemporary Bass Music. Max has performed at Decibel, Mutek, and New Forms, and is a regular fixture on the West Coast festival circuit.

Max’s diverse music productions have found a home on labels such as Turbo, Iile, Club Designs, Sloth Boogie and Thirty Year Recordings, and has seen support from notable performers such as Ben Sims, Prosumer, Laurent Garnier, Roman Flugel, Anz, Skream, B. Traits, Soul Clap, Om Unit, and Breakage.

For Adam 2, electronic music has always provided an opportunity for self-discovery, creative exploration, and personal liberation. Since 2016, the Vancouver-based producer and DJ has worn multiple hats in the city's growing scene, fulfilling the roles of promoter, music curator, and co-founder of Techno label PPRZ. 2020 saw the release of featured mixes on Honcho, Techno Hour of Power, and the creation of Afrofuturism is Now – a mix series amplifying the music of Black artists.

As Adam 2’s career gains momentum, they continue to build their reputation by transfixing audiences with evocative, experimental techno that intersects dynamic physicality and playful cerebralism.

The producer and DJ Night Jogger (Martin Ndlovu) lifts off from his home base in Vancouver, BC with nothing less than a sonic boom. As a DJ, Night Jogger has become a featured node within the manifold of techno-oriented parties in the coastal city, performing within spaces such as Paradise, Dolly, Sprinkler Room, and Village Studios (amongst many other events such as Zap, Drill, and Normiecorp, to name a few).

Favouring systems of high-velocity jet propulsion, Night Jogger’s productions reanimate the circle into a cube through direct fuel injection (formula-909).
