++You may recognize Publicist as Sebastian Thomson from other acts such as Trans Am and Weird War. He loves making music with his friends but he also loves to make music on his own. As he once said "I love making music with my friends but I also love making music on my own." Publicist plays on the floor, not on stage, he is of the people and for the people. If Publicist plays before 12 midnight he magically turns into one of the opening acts.

++Something in Spanish is Julio Monterrey (electronics/synthesizers), Michelle Perez (vocals) and with the new addition of David Mason (electronic drums). Michelle and Julio first met in Miami in 2006, when they decided to move outside of their musical comfort zones by experimenting with electronic music. Over time, they evolved and discovered something magical through crafting playful, yet haunting, music. Influenced by romantic melodies, Michelle is drawn to emotion and movement; while Julio works within avant sound collages and a horror aesthetic. Something in Spanish makes novel sonic compositions that blur the lines between a nostalgic and futuristic sound. With a unique sensibility, their live show is an engaging experience. Their rare ability to fuse drama and performance sheds light on the group’s individual personalities.

++Pressed And is the intriguingly named collaboration of Andrew Hamlet and Mat Jones, one of the hydra heads of the burgeoning southeastern electronic music scene. Mat, a North Carolina native and Andrew, originally from Atlanta, met as students at UNC Chapel Hill, where Andrew worked A&R for a student run record label that had Mat's solo project, It Is Rain In My Face record one of their notable VR presents live sessions. They crossed paths again at a showcase a few years later as they were nearing graduation and decided to try working together on some music. With Mat working manipulations of his voice (often from parts of his solo material), Andrew adding heavily processed guitar, and both sharing in various electronic triggers and overall production, Pressed And was formed. After releasing their earliest work on the split EP, Post-Ad For Sync, they began working on their true debut, Imbue Up. Now splitting their time between Brooklyn and North Carolina, and with their first national tour and a hefty chunk of positive press as accomplishments (including a Daytrotter Session), Pressed And are on the verge of laying claim to their portion of the post-chillwave electronic musical landscape.
