Alice Longyu GaoThe outrageously viral “Rich Bitch Juice” is just the beginning of Alice Longyu Gao’s electronic arsenal. Hot off jammed-to-the-rafters sets at SXSW, she continues to wreak sonic terror upon audiences while still making them dance, as we’re sure to see at Sled Island 2024. Try out her latest single “Burn The Witch” – a collaboration with PVRIS and Tommy Genesis – for a taste of her fury.
okpk
From the euphoric club sounds of double-single “I Saw You Standing In The Fog / Halfway Up” to the recent series of 140 BPM releases exploring texture, experimental bass music producer okpk has range. He’s played at New Forms and Bass Coast (as well as Sled Island) and caters his eclectic style to the occasion. Wherever you find him at the festival this year, he’ll make it a seamless experience.
State n Division
The glitchy experiments of State n Divison – AKA composer Carlos Arteaga – has been entrancing audiences for years. Drawing intense influence from IDM artists like Squarepusher, State’s unpredictable sound veers from droning noise to skin-crawling synthesizer blasts, charting a thrilling ride to the outer edges of electronic experimentation.
