Jeremy Rodriguez is an American musician, producer, sound designer and DJ. Releasing music on Zement, Lifeforms and L.I.E.S. among others. He has built a reputation in the underground with gritty electro, techno and acid releasing as Chupacabras, Acid Freq. & 110. He’s been in the UK since 2016 and currently lives in Broadstairs.

Yuri Suzuki is a sound artist, designer and electronic musician. His practice explores the realms of sound through designed pieces that examine the relationship between people and their environments – questioning how both music and sound evolve to create personal experiences. Suzuki was born in Tokyo in 1980.

Melinda Bronstein is a Margate-based musician. She constructs beautiful, wonky atmospheres through improvised vocal drone loops, casiotone, noises and toyses, and found objects, finding magic in the mundane.

Ali Renault makes electronic folksong and detective noir. He has released music under various guises for over 20 years, including as Cestrian and Parasols. An early-2000s love of Italo disco led to his band Heartbreak, followed by a solo album and several EPs. He also runs two labels, Vivod and Hearse, releasing new music from across the electronic spectrum.
