BIOS:

Diavol Strâin

Riot Darkwave Duo from Valparaíso, formed in 2015 by Ignacia Strâin (guitar, backing vocals, synth) and Lau M (lead vocals and bass). Their sound blends classic 1980s Dark Wave with Post-Punk and Riot Grrrl influences.

Across 11 years of activity, they have become a lending force in South America's gothic revival movement, earning recognition throughout Europe and the United States, and establishing themselves as one of  the most prominent bands of Chile's gothic subculture. They are the first Chilean band to be part of the Chinese label, Sound Shape, who will release their next work in cassette format after a successful release of the EP “Vipera Mortis” in the same format.

DATURA

Datura formed in 2018 in Wenatchee, Washington, carving out an identity that draws deeply from goth-rock and post-punk luminaries including The Chameleons, The Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees, early Dead Can Dance, and Depeche Mode. Initially self-releasing two EPs, Datura signed with Sell the Heart Records (Berkeley, California) in 2021 and released their debut full-length album in 2022, Arcano Chemical, which received critical praise for its melancholic catchiness and haunting atmosphere.

The band's sophomore LP was released in April 2025 via Sell the Heart Records and in collaboration with Poland's Bat-Cave Productions and the UK's Engineer Records. Songs from a Dark House introduces a more upbeat, driving side to the band's repertoire and touches thematically on burnout, addiction, isolation, and war. Ron Evans of The Comet Magazine describes the album as "the danceable darkwave soundtrack of your next panic attack," and Devolution Magazine notes that "Datura derives a lot of power from reduced numbers and creates haunting soundscapes that are bigger than their constituent parts."

With the addition of a touring drummer in early 2025, the band has expanded its live capabilities and looks toward expanding into the eastern United States and internationally.

CLUB DRIPPY

Club Drippy is the amorphous moniker of Jon Jon, Chicago native and co-founder of electronic powerhouse Pixel Grip. Taking inspiration from sweaty raves, the natural world, and queer freedom, Club Drippy absorbs and reflects his experiences through producing, DJing, and writing.

On the dancefloor, Drippy presents his curation with elements of synthpop, industrial, new beat, and italo for an eclectic listening experience.

In addition to his work with Pixel Grip, Drippy has self-released Made of Silk (2020) and Blue Beats (2024) as original ambient techno explorations.
