Crystal Quartez
Crystal Quartez is a sound artist and creative technologist. They create "Restorative Noise" by organizing the drones and rhythms of mechanical life, natural voices, and digital timbres into a texture rich electronic dance music. These complex sonic realms are windows into shared networks of reality, usually separated by borders, time, and perception. Recently, their work has involved collecting live biodata from plants and static data from climate change, to translate these numbers and electrical impulses into sound.

S.L.U.T.

Sweet Love Under Tyranny is sensualist (A)nthems for the revolutionary sect:
Music to make love, smash it up, and burn it down to. S.L.U.T. is the solo electronic works of Alessandra Genovese, who lives and produces out of so-called Portland, Oregon. Former bands include Burning Roses (PDX), CRUSH (NYC), Sphinx (NYC), and OVER (PDX). Love Is The Law is the first release off of S.L.U.T. 's forthcoming debut self titled album, Sweet Love Under Tyranny. Alessandra proudly co-wrote and sang on Kontravoid's Maskerade, on masked one’s 2021 album release, Faceless. Centering on themes of lust, transformation, and liberation, S.L.U.T. layers cold, danceable beats with swirling synths, blankets of rich vocal harmonies, and relentless guttural poetry. Sweet Love Under Tyranny is a siren song to the scrambling claws of the dying patriarchy, and a call to the feminine forces to seduce and destroy.

Lucia Luna

Lucia Luna is a nonbinary musician and vocalist from Portland, OR. They channel ethereal melodies and spellbinding synthesis through voice, keys and creative sound manipulation. Lucia composes through temper, creating texture with shrill sounds and hollow layers. Their moods hit the listener with elation, despair, and discernment of the subtleties between. Lucia’s range traverses a journey from dreamscape to dancewave, relishing in the
empowerment of imperfection, vulnerability, and deliciously raw expression.
Lucia’s gift is to evoke the power of otherworldliness, channeled through musical expression as well as theatrical and dynamic stage performance. On stage, Lucia enters another dimension, radiating spirit and strength through embodiment of their craft. Their art is an experiential offering of empowerment for LGBTQ+ people everywhere to claim their place in the world with confidence. Lucia released their debut solo EP “Hunting Midnight” in June of 2020 on Occultists (Berlin), followed by a remix EP for their track “Shiver” in 2021. Lucia released their first music video for “Shiver (Orkis remix) in November of 2022. Other musical projects include: Unicorn Domination (UnicornDomination.com) and We Are Like the Spider (WeAreLikeTheSpider.com), based in Portland, Oregon."
