About the event
Carissa Gem
This Calgary DJ is dropping bass-heavy, rap-tinged sets loud enough to make you ask “What Will The Neighbours Think?” — which, fittingly, is also the name of her show on CJSW 90.9. A Western Canadian bass scene staple, Carissa is building community (and killer shows) one eardrum at a time.
World News
Live electronic duo World News combines 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 memorable experience that blurs the lines between rebellion and euphoria.
aniqa dear
This experimental art pop project is rooted in queerness, diasporic identity, grief, and the eternal interplay between belonging and isolation. aniqa dear weaves her intricate melodic sensibilities with ever-shifting 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.
pseudo-antigone
From early scrappy artistry to sharply precise music production, pseudo-antigone is the experimental hyperpop project of philosopher and interdisciplinary artist Simone Atenea Medina Polo. Expect detailed and meticulous sound design that leans into metallic synth textures, loud fuzzy bass, and punchy beats, as found on her last LP Melancholic Melodrama.
