Panther is Charles Byron Salas Humara and Joe Faustin Kelly (Philip Glass Ensemble, Steve Reich ensemble) and occasionally Sara Welker on violin. With the release of their new record 14 kt God (Kill Rock Stars), they have blended hardcore, psych, dance and bop to create a new genre in what people have been describing as “caustic pop”. Panther has toured constantly and has built a reputation for often playing hectic and confusing live shows.

Portland, Oregon’s Marius Libman, otherwise known as Copy, combines dense harmonies with snap-tight digital beats to create an emotionally affecting style that doesn’t neglect the dance floor. Meshing the sounds of classic synth pop with electro, disco, 8 bit video-game soundtracks and hip hop, an instantly familiar yet unique sound emerges from each song Copy produces. 

E*Rock is a producer, director, animator and designer from Portland, OR where he is heavily involved in the electronic music scene. He co-founded Audio Dregs, Fryk Beat and is involved with other collaborative art projects like Wyld File and the Collective Jyrk with Yellow Swans.
