with TOTAL CHROMA, STAHV, and SEKTION TYRANTS
==XENO & OAKLANDER==
Xeno & Oaklander are a minimal electronics / synth pop duo (Liz Wendelbo and Sean McBride of Martial Canterel) based in Brooklyn, New York. As artists, they have been deeply involved in the analog synth community since 2004 (the release of their debut Vigils LP on Xanten), and have helped promote and inspire the revival of synth wave in the US and throughout the world through their extensive touring and prolific output.
Following their debut on Xanten, they released the Sentinelle and Sets & Lights albums on Wierd before signing on to Ghostly International, where they unveiled their widely acclaimed albums Par Avion and Topiary, introducing their innovative mastery of analog synth production to a wider audience. During the Ghostly album sessions, the duo also recorded Movements and Movements 2 commissioned by the National Center for the Arts, Grenoble, and Ecole du Magasin: an inspirational 35 minute piece recorded live and inspired by travel in space and time.

==TOTAL CROMA==
Total Chroma is the brainchild of Canadian Minimal synth artist Robert Katerwol. Inspired by Italo disco, classic EBM, minimal wave, and post-punk, Katerwol bridges his inspiration(s) into a genre-smashing cocktail of sweaty dance floor catharsis!
Since 2012, Katerwol has been actively producing, releasing, performing, and touring across North America, and the EU. Past projects/collaborations include Wire Spine, Weird Candle, Body Break, deth, Industrial Priest Overcoats, and Snit.

==STAHV==
“With a flair for the futuristic and a nod to the past, STAHV blends sci-fi with swagger, creating something that’s both familiar and entirely alien. A love letter to the weird and the wired, Sentiens Eklektikos is a trip worth taking.” - Post-Punk.com
Born out of love for sci-fi graphic novels and prog rock, STAHV’s latest album Sentiens Eklektikos poses the question, “What would happen if an android dropped acid?”
Produced by STAHV founder Solomon Arye Rosenschein and Ako-Lite label head John Getze, the album explores themes of love, humanity, and free will set against a consciousness-expanding dystopian future.
“My father worked in AI Robotics for Stanford Research Institute in the '80s. I remember visiting him at work one day and seeing a robot named Flakey wandering around offering people bagels. It had a synthesized voice and emphasized words in a very charming way—it couldn't quite pronounce the ‘g’ in bagel.”
Previously known for spellbinding, sonic landscapes that hinted at ambient metal, Sentiens Eklektikos puts Rosenschein’s incredible gift for songwriting front and center and features guests Stuart Dace on saxophone (Jim Jones All Stars) and David Benson (Transition, Acephalix, Said Sara) on guest vocals.
Sentiens Ekletikos arrives November 15th.

==SEKTION TYRANTS==
Sektion Tyrants are a post punk/synth punk duo from Vancouver, BC, Canada. The band currently consists of Steve Ferreira (vocals/synths) and Caleb Blagdon (guitars/synths).
