Blawan is a British electronic music producer known for his raw, industrial-tinged techno sound. Born Jamie Roberts in Yorkshire, he emerged in the early 2010s with releases on labels like Hessle Audio and R&S Records. His breakthrough track "Why They Hide Their Bodies Under My Garage?" (2012) showcased his signature style, pounding kicks, metallic percussion, and modular synth experimentation. As a key figure in the UK's post-dubstep and techno scenes, Blawan has released music under his own name and as part of duo projects like Karenn (with Pariah) and Kilner (with The Analogue Cops). His uncompromising, hardware-driven approach has made him a fixture at clubs like Berghain and established him as one of contemporary techno's most distinctive voices.
Pariah is a British electronic music producer born Arthur Cayzer, known for his emotive take on techno and UK underground sounds. Emerging in the early 2010s through labels like Hessle Audio and R&S Records, he initially gained recognition with tracks like "Orpheus" and "Left Unsaid," which balanced dark, bass-heavy UK influences with melodic depth. His sound has evolved from post-dubstep territories into refined techno productions that maintain a distinctive atmospheric quality. As half of the hardware duo Karenn (with Blawan), he creates raw, improvised techno performances entirely without computers. Pariah also runs the label Voam, through which he's released several EPs and his 2021 album "Here From Where We Are," showcasing a more experimental and ambient direction. His ability to blend emotional resonance with dancefloor functionality has established him as a unique voice bridging UK underground and contemporary techno.
Force Placement is the DJ and production alias of Los Angeles-based Jason James, a key figure in LA's underground electronic music scene. A founding member of The Black Lodge, an intimate monthly event exploring esoteric electronic music, he's known for his genre-fluid approach spanning house, techno, IDM, electro, and experimental electronics. His releases have appeared on labels including 100% Silk, EVAR Records, Private Selection, Clave House, and Bank NYC. Originally trained as a jazz drummer and influenced early on by Aphex Twin and drum 'n' bass, Force Placement brings a punk-influenced energy to his DJ sets and live performances, seamlessly shifting between Chicago and Detroit classics, acid techno, dark analog electro, and twisted ambient sounds. Beyond his electronic work, James plays drums in hardcore punk bands and runs a harsh noise project called Nu Sire, reflecting his diverse musical background and subversive edge.
Teira is a singer, songwriter, DJ, producer, and interdisciplinary artist who blends electronic, R&B, gospel, and alternative textures into both her live performances and DJ sets. Growing up singing gospel in church before sneaking into jazz clubs and lo-fi music parties as a teenager, she developed a unique aesthetic combining spiritual and secular influences. Her self-produced EP "Vortex" (released on Alpha Pup) showcases her free-flowing vocals and winding chord progressions, while analog synths and drum machines form the core of her live performances. As a DJ, Teira is known for her exceptional versatility, seamlessly flowing between techno, house, electro, garage, and beyond. She gained wider recognition through her collaboration with DJ Seinfeld on his "Mirrors" album (Ninja Tune), writing and performing vocals for tracks "U Already Know" and "The Right Place." Based in the US, she's considered one of the most unique new voices emerging in dance music, bringing both technical skill and emotional depth to her sets and productions.
