A Western Canadian bass scene staple\, Carissa is building community (and killer show s) one eardrum at a time.\nWorld News\nLive electronic duo World News combi nes influences of techno\, house\, alternative and ambient music. Channeled through a live hardware setup of synthesizers\, drum machines and samplers \, the heart of their sound lies in improvisation and live mixing. It's a m emorable experience that blurs the lines between rebellion and euphoria.\na niqa dear\nThis experimental art pop project is rooted in queerness\, diasp oric identity\, grief\, and the eternal interplay between belonging and iso lation. aniqa dear weaves her intricate melodic sensibilities with ever-shi fting synth-infused textures and polyrhythms\, resulting in danceable music interlaced with stark vulnerability. Her second genre-bending full-length album is scheduled for release in early 2027.\npseudo-antigone\nFrom early scrappy artistry to sharply precise music production\, pseudo-antigone is t he experimental hyperpop project of philosopher and interdisciplinary artis t Simone Atenea Medina Polo. Expect detailed and meticulous sound design th at leans into metallic synth textures\, loud fuzzy bass\, and punchy beats\ , as found on her last LP Melancholic Melodrama.  \nImportant info:Start a nd running times are subject to change.
