ZARDONIC

[toggler title=”READ BIO” ]Fists raised in the air. Bodies, heavily perspiring, crush against each other and threaten to burst through steel barricades. Security forces gaze forward with a mix of aggression, tension and fear. Monstrous decibels pound each and every human in the chest, relentless, overpowering, captivating. Is this some club consumed by fiercely “kvlt” dystopian noise? A festival tent, throbbing with oppressively jagged electronic grooves? Are there headbangers hoisting cups of beer, or Millennials enthralled in rapturous joy? It’s none of it, yet all of it. It’s Skrillex meets Slayer. It’s a singular entity. It’s ZARDONIC.

Fans familiar with Zardonic’s work via his appearance on releases issued by DJ Dieselboy’s SubHuman: Human Imprint and Skrillex’s OWSLA label will recognize the signature blueprint within the new material. But Zardonic’s definitive work expands into a heady mind trip through extreme metal inspired electronic music, inclusive of drum n’ bass, with the same signature sound warped through various tempos. Dubstep isn’t in the recipe, but fierce vocals, guitars, break-beats, hardcore and Glitch burn brightly.

It’s that brilliant blend behind the burgeoning fervor for Zardonic around the world. Whether performing for 10,000 people in Russia, headlining festivals across South America, dominating Europe and Japan, Zardonic represents an immediate yet timeless musical apex striking a nerve across nationalities and false boundaries of any kind.

DEMIEN SIXX

[ NYCR // NY] *Dubstep, Electro, Trap* www.demiensixx.com

[toggler title=”READ BIO” ]Hailing from New York City, Demien Sixx is a driven, passionate and charismatic DJ and EDM producer with a unique high energy approach. His tracks are influenced by genres as diverse as Dubstep, Electro House and Trap: this means fat drum-machine like sounds, tight rhythm sections and walls of bass, surrounded by lush synth melodies and uplifting hooks. His tracks are all about engaging the crowd and liberating high amounts of energy, whether you are enjoying them from the intimacy of your headphones or through the PA system of a fun night club! His live shows, in fact, are almost as important as the music: Sure, it’s all about the great sound, but a club night is not only experienced through your ears: a gig is a multimedia experience where every senses can be included. With such a mindset, Demien Sixx offers great music, appealing visuals and a spectacle to remember. [/toggler]
