Data Cult Audio

About:

Manuel Amezquita is a transmedia artist based in México. The artist generates his esthetic pursuits plumb the integral linkages between electronic sequences and mind loops. Consumed by 90 ́s techno he simultaneously assume numerous positions, inhabiting a space between art and dance music. Architect of landscapes, Lewis_33 pene- trates the undead skin between solid matter and the immaculate.

The moniker sustains a long and abstract relationship with data and the way that day by day transmutes to the cultural system; artifacts inside the matrix that distor the interaction between lifeforms and their creations.

His taboo-free composition system generate pieces that commune with a single style, as a result the spectrum of his production navigates from IDM, EBM, Ambient, Proto-Techno, Noise, Avant-garde rock, concrete music and/or Click-Hop.

Lewis_33 can be said to emanate different tonalities in each of his creations, sometimes illuminated and discreet like listening to ambient music and sometimes as dark as a vivid hell extracted from the deepest cavities of rave scene.

About:

Multimedia artist Korey Luna began performing music in 1999, with Midnightmare. Quickly he transitioned from Bass Guitar, Electric Guitar, and Keyboards. He spent a year with Dead Sexy, and eventually was enlisted into Red Youth, where he met long time collaborator Lenny Hamaker.

Being a life-long congenital heart disease patient, Korey had a fourth open-heart surgery, which atrophied his strength. Premeditatedly, he began a journey into Modular Eurorack synthesizers. During recovery he and Lenny formed the duo “Imitation Growth”. Their premier public performance was April 1st 2018 for Resonant Frequencies in Oakland, CA.

In 2019 Korey partnered with Rich Hogben to create a new live show called “Piqued” which features two Electronic music artists per month, before a live audience, with a Q&A session. This show has continued as a virtual event.

About:

Portland-based multimedia artist Veronica "Vern" Avola makes electronic music that combines a ferocious wall of sound with a deceptively subtle sense of dynamics. One could call it noise music, except that Avola puts enough into weirdly shifting harmonics as she does into abrasion. One could also call it drone, but Avola's approach to synth music is too rhythmic, itchy, and restless to fit easily under that label. She's shared bills with artists including Mammifer, Thrones, Big Business, The Tenses, Oxbow, Daniel Mehcne, Bana Hafar, and  has collaborated with electro-pop eccentric EMA, to give you some idea of the difficulty of pigeonholing the project. She has been performing  and touring in bands since 2005, and has been performing solo since 2008. She's had the honor of having several releases on labels such as Sige Recordings, Gravity Records, An Out Recordings, Accident Prone Records and Nadine Records, as well as releasing her most current works on her own label EMS Records.

About:

Sombre Lux is part man, part machine – seeking to understand human emotion through sound. Fixated on the concept of universal balance, the cyborg creates gritty sci-fi soundscapes with hints of light. Oregon producer, Jordan Jacks, lent his memories to Sombre Lux’s pursuits, while forgotten tomes of magick and ancient technological systems, found along his journey, help to guide the process of creating sonic talismans. 01001101 01110101 01110011 01101001 01100011 00100000 01101100 01101001 01110110 01100101 01110011 00100000 01110111 01101001 01110100 01101000 01101001 01101110 00100000 01110101 01110011 00100000

About:

Just a runt on the scene with just one album release (early 2020), Jaeki is making big noise in so-called Tucson, AZ. Their sound tends to find itself balancing between ethereal ambience and brutal electronic destruction. Jaeki blends field recordings, self made piezo instruments, modular synths and sampling to make noise loosely inspired by vaporwave, hnw, broken electronics, drone, free jazz, dada, etc... depends on the day!
