Kontravoid's masked aura has existed for over a decade. Since the release of its self-titled album in 2012, the Canadian-born, Los Angeles-based Cameron Findlay has been perfecting dark pop with a body of work that sits at the crossroads of EBM, electro, and goth genres. His productions such as Too Deep (2019) and Faceless (2021) plunge into the most remote corners of foggy, strobe-lit clubs. At the same time, his songwriting reveals a softer side and the ability to craft emotive songs marked by melancholy. Undone (2018) has been a fan favorite since its release on the Berlin label Fleisch Records. On stage, Kontravoid commands attention with a performance that fuses hard beats with his distinctive bassline rhythms. He has toured with Boy Harsher, ADULT., Drab Majesty and Hide, and has produced remixes for artists such as Schwefelgelb and Kris Baha.

Spike Hellis consists of Cortland and Lainey. The Los Angeles-based electronic duo came together on October 31, 2019. Following the release of their first EP Crisis Talk in 2020, they released their debut album in April 2022 on their own imprint Over-Pop. Since then they have been touring North America, Europe and Latin America. In the fall they will tour again to support their new album Successor on Over-Pop.

Nation Unrest is an electronic body music project from London with members of Natural Assembly, The Chisel and Chain Of Flowers, recently augmented by producer Evil Dust.
