Collin McKelvey
Let McKelvey lend you his ear, immediately you hear sound with a grounded clarity that fosters deep wonder, even dread. Whether voice, water, circuit fuzz, silence... his music seems to arrive in the room purely as an act of listening, summoned by some concealed, unholy method. Known variously as Orbless, Slaughtering Dolphins, and Collin McKelvey, his conspicuously calm presence is gravitational, massive yet invisible, hung in space by a momentum as ancient as the planets.

Arachnid Arcade
Oneirogenetic actions to shake you off your single-thread existence, Arachnid Arcade is a minimal circus of ritualistic errors, manifested primarily via two humans, electronics, and a million tiny lights. Draw near and warm your cheek by the dayglo as ten million legs caress your chin. Charlotte Aurevoir & Arlo Heart might dice you up, but they'll put you back together too, that's how reamputation must always begin.

L1p_Ch3www3r
Impresario of the Tranc3 Mut4t1(0)n5 sound series and Arthur Murray dance studios instructor, Micah Danemayer, specializes in scalable factory-line dancing and industrial accident-core. As always, the first class is free. Danemayer's L1p_Ch3www3r project is the result of working 24/7 with ear pressed to the pressure valve of the world's heaviest noise and industrial music scenes, his firm hand on the tiller, pants overflowing with ants. Spoiler: the first lesson is "Don't move a muscle, just dance."

Forbidden Colors
Ecstasy and euphoria, whether through pain or pleasure, are the domain of queer power electronics as ritual for the accumulation of sexual energy. When master of the form, Enriquez Hernandez, takes your train full tilt off-the-rails there's no use in holding on, don't bother shutting your eyes, adjusting your skirt or crossing your arms, take that headlong trip heart-first into the topsoil of Forbidden Colors.
