Marc Laidlaw is a Los Angeles-based electronic music artist who transitioned from a celebrated career as a video game writer to focus on music creation. Best known for his work on Valve's Half-Life series until 2016, Laidlaw now creates experimental electronic music from his home base in LA. "I like mountains and caves" he notes on his Bandcamp page. Most of his creative energy for the last few years has gone into music, studying, writing, and performing. He's been working with local producer Ryan Pollie on a full LP that is "steeped heavily in Americana, psychedelic folk rock, and general weirdness." His musical output includes collaborations like "75 Baud Blossoms" with seachael and various experimental releases showcased on his Bandcamp. Laidlaw is also one half of the two-man band Mort Solár and has become an active participant in the LA electronic music scene, with his work appearing on LA Synth Club compilations.

Zendeer is a Los Angeles-based composer and live electronic artist. Formerly a bass player with too many effects pedals, they have morphed into a dawless composer and performer using groove boxes, synths, sequencers, modular synth, and other electronic hardware. Inspired by LA’s underground techno scene, Zendeer’s composition style is evolving from roots in ambient, house, and trip hop into an exploration of techno genres.

Humongous Frog (Kyle Herrman) is a Pasadena-based electronic music producer who creates "instrumental electronic music for weirdos." Playing live hardware synth-based shows, Kyle is an active member of LA Synth Club and regularly performs at their monthly Electronic Music show at Old Towne Pub in Pasadena. His music spans electro, techno, IDM, glitch, chiptune, lofi, synthwave, funk, and instrumental hiphop. Beyond music, Kyle is also a writer, filmmaker, and self-described "lizard enthusiast."
Jelani is among the new wave of Los Angeles producers inspired by warehouse techno and electronic grooves. For over a decade, the Jelani has been performing in nightclubs and raves starting at DC’s U Street Music Hall once he turned 18. Jelani has been recently submerged in the analog recording universe using his eurorack system and dub style console mixing to combine the past, present, and future through his music.

LA Synth Club
The LA Synth Club hosts a monthly "Synth Nite" gathering on the first Monday of every month at Common Space Brewery in Hawthorne, Southern California. The event features mixers for attendees to use, and draws a diverse crowd of synthesizer enthusiasts, some bringing gear and others coming to connect and learn. Recent months have introduced a showcase segment where participants present a piece of equipment, demonstrating its capabilities or performing a 5-10 minute set. The club welcomes both experienced synthesists and newcomers interested in electronic music production.
