SET TIMES & ARTIST INFO FOR SATURDAY JULY 30TH
Lusine: Live PA (Ghostly International)
9pm to 10pm
www.lusineweb.com
Lusine is the brainchild of Jeff McIlwain, and is the moniker for his visceral, melodic vision of abstract electronic music. Having attended Cal Arts to study 20th century electronic music and sound design for music and film, he first began creating his lush interpretation of IDM many years ago. Since then, he has recorded for labels such as !K7/MAS, Hymen and Delikatessen, all aside from his prolific output for pioneering American IDM label Isophlux. A veteran of URB magazine’s "Next 100", series, Lusine is one of the foremost American producers in the abstract field and an artist with a boundless future in his craft...Armed with prismatic shards of processed electrobeats and nighttime dub-infused echoes of Detroit's past, he's leading an international aural assault with a solid bounty of releases both domestic and international.
Jacob London: DJ Set (Classic / U-Freqs)
8pm to 9pm
www.jacoblondon.com
In 1993 Bob Hansen and Dave Pezzner collaborated to produce very inferior industrial music under the name Vitus Dance. Over the next few years their productions became less and less inferior, and eventually they released tracks on respected labels like Stay True and Derrick Carter’s world famous Classic Records. These days, the Londoners do squid:records, a sub-label of esteemed Viva Recordings, and are world-renowned for their off-kilter funk sound. You can be sure that whatever Jacob London have planned for the future will definitely involve ignoring the rulebooks, not taking themselves too seriously, and capitalizing upon the occasional sheep noise.
Mori: Live PA (isdiff – Portland)
7pm to 8pm
www.mori.nu
Mori is Brandon Fessler and Taylor Gehrts of Portland, Oregon. The sound of Mori's music varies from moments of peaceful sweeping sine waves to intricate digital rhythms. A combination of technical sound design with melodic structures, Mori's music is always experimental yet listenable. Besides producing music, Brandon and Taylor also help run Isdiff records. Their first EP was released september 2004, on Isdiff.
Kristina Childs: DJ Set (Plasmodium / Decibel)

www.plasmodium.net

Nordic Soul: Live PA (Dreaming in Stereo / Decibel)
5pm to 6pm
www.dbfestival.com
The solo moniker for Decibel Festival’s brainchild Sean Horton (Db founder, director and curator). Nordic Soul’s production embodies both the soulful/rhythmic sounds of Detroit (Horton’s upbringing) with the chilly, electronic textures/melodies of Northern Europe (Horton’s heritage). Nordic Soul pushes the boundaries of electronic music through highly technical production standards in an effort to fuse genres seamlessly into a format that defines categorization. Nordic Soul’s production ranges from hip hop to electro pop to blitzkrieg techno, while visiting all points in-between. Since Nordic Soul’s inception in 2003 he has opened for many touring artists in the Northwest, includeing Funkstroung, Luomo, Boom Bip, Richard Devine, Phonecia, Electric Birds, Proem, Four Tet, Matthew Dear, Lusine, T. Raumschmiere and Derrick May. Nordic Soul also performs with the Seattle based improv/electronica quartet Synth Club, which features Reggie Watts, Steven Scalfati and Dan Spils.
Eddie: DJ Set (Decibel)
4pm to 5pm
Seattle native DJ and drummer Eddie (Eddie Nonog) likes rain, drums for Mesh, and started collecting records when he was seven instead of spending his allowance on candy.

KJ Sawka: Live PA
3pm to 4pm
www.kjsawka.com
Closer to a digital drum machine than you could ever imagine, yet created in the most "analog" way possible - with two arms, two feet, and a pair of sticks - KJ Sawka is dropping jaws with new techniques for the drum, sustaining incredibly intense drum and bass tempos for entire shows. KJ Sawka has toured the US twice in the improvisitory dance band Siamese, where the innovative drummer wowed fans with his complex acoustic sound completely devoid of programmed samples and loops, garnering the attention of Michael Shrieve of Santana, world-renown jazz guitarist Bill Frisell, prolific forward-thinking producer Amon Tobin, and opening for drum'n'bass pioneers LTJ Bukem and MC Conrad.
