Cocojoey, Insula Iscariot, Embrasa, Bliss Cemetery

Cocojoey is a Chicago-based producer and performer who operates within a unique blend of digital hardcore and digital fusion genres. Their 2022 album “COCOJOEY’S WORLD” features kaleidoscopic harmony, virtuosic keyboard shredding, and densely orchestrated electronic layers wielded in the pursuit of finding joy and self-acceptance.

Known for highly energetic performances, Cocojoey has quickly become a local mainstay. In addition to 50 shows across the US in 2024, they have recently performed alongside artists such as HEALTH, Author&Punisher, Bubblegum Octopus, Lauren Bousfield, Bejalvin, and Fraxiom.

Insula Iscariot is an audiovisual artist and producer based in Madison, WI who draws inspiration from the worlds of industrial, dance, and noise. Their work consists of dissonant synths and infested basslines, broken up by demolishing drums. All of this being a catalyst for their anxious whispers and screams to deliver a stark feeling of dread and desperation.

Insula’s ever-mutating performances have included painting, destruction, and audience collaboration. They have previously only played in Madison and the west coast, but are now on tour in parts of the Midwest in the wake of their debut album.

Embrasa is an art project situated in the space between Industrial, Noise, Pop, Metal, Contemporary Classical Music, and Dance. It's ever-evolving group of core collaborators help bring to life large multi-disciplinary projects - ranging from simple and confrontational live solo performances and albums, to experimental theatre, books, sculptures, candles, perfumes, and whatever else might be called for.

Somewhere between the sounds of teen suicide and machine girl. Heavily inspired by incorporating electronic music with instruments and cassette warping. The bliss cemetery concept is that, its a state of mind or a place in which the human experience is looked back on for all its serenity and lack there of.
