LongWalkShortDock http://longwalkshortdock.com/ - https://soundcloud.com/longwalkshortdock
A veteran of sound design and electronic music production for well over a decade, Longwalkshortdock's music has stepped into a genre of its own. Heavily influenced by early 80s video game music, metal and rock music, found-sound and vintage analog synthesis, he stacks layers of melody in his tracks until they implode and reform. Heavy drums and aggressive synths join forces with rolling grooves and melodic lead lines to create a wide variety of slamming dance floor originals. Did you know they found him in a cave on the moon? That's what i heard...

Tracerburn https://soundcloud.com/tracerburn
The music of Tracerburn defies most traditional genres. It is made using an eccentric mix of straight and broken beats, mixed with a broad range of BPMs and time signatures, using a wide variety of sounds and frequencies, usually a little dirty but always psychedelic. It has elements and roots in many genres while staying true to none. His live show combines the best of both analog and digital, hardware and software to create a truly unique musical experience. Tracerburn has been making his twisted brand of electronic music since 1999.

X41 http://x41x41x41x41.tumblr.com/
X41 is the ambient alias of Vancouver based producer Jen Pearson, (The Square Root of Evil, Nancy Dru) and collaborator Jon Anastasiades aka PixelWrangler, VJ extraordinaire and long time member of the alternative Vancouver music scene. Using a collection of software, hardware synths, apps, gadgets and more,they draw their influences from a wide variety of sources; organic and human-made ambiance, distant discoveries of deep field astronomy,the middle of the ocean at midnight, the rare near-silence of a forest,and the soundscapes found in massive living cities. Together they've performed numerous times, including the Decibel festival, Pan Ambient showcases and underground Ciliate art events. The duo has evolved to incorporate a visual component using custom projections, lasers and handmade electronics-infused costumes that become part of the wall of sight and sound.
Performing live, X41 subscribes to the Futurist ideology of early ambient music, where the sounds are not complete without the involvement of the surrounding environment. Whether in a crowded art opening, an auditorium or park, we enjoy our audience interacting with and within the zone of lights and sounds.
