Birthed online in the digital realm, V1R1S is a high-tech musician, visual artist, and experience. Programmed around early internet culture and life online, V1R1S augments and morphs together mutual chaos of anxiety inducing atmospheres, nightcore bubble gum melodies, and computerized vocals, to create her own new world of ‘cyberpop’.

Self proclaimed Earth-pop artist NO.AH [no.dot.ah] from NYC, conjures queer catharsis through their performances of original compositions. NO.AH intends to carve space in the music industry through the creation of their own “genre” — inspired by the uninhibited and limitless imagination of childhood, the vitriol of darkness and horror, and the untapped natural world around us. NO.AH stakes their claim as a singular artistic voice to pay attention to in these oversaturated times. (@no.ah)

ÅNGEL 004, currently based in Brooklyn, NYC graces Earth with an expansive Pop Performance spanning genres like Electronic, Club, HipHop, and Eurodance. More aptly labeled as 'Freak-Pop,' their multidimensional sound and vision seamlessly blend disparate elements into a cohesive and entertaining experience. Whether performing solo or with a fleet of dancers, ÅNGEL 004 operates within a quasi-Pop-and-Techno framework with performances that feature costumes, props, and choreography.

Klypi (pronounced like the Windows paper clipoffice assistant) is the “pop-star” avatar of AC Carter, a multi-disciplinary artist from Birmingham, Alabama. Klypi is part electropop - part performance art. Now in LA, Klypi released their first self-produced LP in fall of 2024 (formatted to appear to be a giant floppy disk) through Lolipop Records.

Klypi is described as an alien who travels to Earth in search for a better life, only to realize that what they were looking for was a myth in itself. Klypi quickly recognizes that the only way to survive as a human is to become a successful businessman (as well as to learn how to tackle a wide range of human emotions and experiences). Isolation and unrequited love are just a couple of themes that run through Klypi’s work.

AC’s creative journey comes from the lineage of artists-turned-musicians past: DEVO, Brian Eno, Laurie Anderson, and Suicide. AC is interested in the immediacy of pop music, while simultaneously digging for something deeper and experimenting with those boundaries. Previously a painter and sculptor, AC has harnessed those skills to construct their sonic, visual, and conceptual world, while their songs have even been described as painterly: layered, vibrant, and textured.
