Formed in 2006, Automelodi is a constantly evolving project based around the solo work of songwriter/producer Xavier Paradis. With a career that spans over two decades, Paradis is a well-established figure in Montreal’s dense electronic music culture, releasing over time with various projects, performance line-ups, or under different monikers such as Arnaud Lazlaud. He also collaborates with artists like Liz Wendelbo (of Xeno & Oaklander) as the duo Liz and László, as well as Latvian Producer Dmitry Distant.

Automelodi’s music embraces and re-contextualizes a spectrum of influences that include the lesser-known European synthpop and post-punk of the latter Twentieth Century, combined with literary stylizations reminiscent of Gallic songwriters such as Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Fontaine—with nearly all vocals delivered in French. Following the self-released first EP, an eponymous album was released in 2010 by the now defunct Brooklyn label Wierd Records. The second LP, "Surlendemains acides", was released in digital format in 2013. A third LP, “Mirages au futur verre-brisé,” was released in 2019 on Austin's Holodeck Records. The release was followed that same year by an extensive tour of Europe. Automelodi resumed touring in 2023, with several dates across the USA, and is currently working on a collection of new songs, including some singles to be released in 2024/2025.In parallel to his work as Automelodi, Paradis has also been very active over the past two decades as a music producer, focusing primarily on mixing and remixing for other projects and artists such as Bootblacks, Silent EM, The Harrow, and Laura Krieg.

Night Foundation is the instrumental solo project of multimedia artist Richard Vergez. It explores existential soundscapes, utilizing analogue hardware, including vintage synthesizers, found percussion, tape effects, and manipulated wind instruments. There is a deep inspiration from Krautrock, film music, early industrial and ambient music, and the dark, rhythmic pulse of post-punk. His music has seen physical release on labels spanning the UK, Germany, Lithuania, and the US. A most recent vinyl release on his label, Noir Age, features underground legend Little Annie.
