BUZZ KULL
Buzz Kull is the darkwave and electronic music project of Sydney-based musician and producer Marc Dwyer. Since its inception in 2012, the project has established itself as a prominent force in the global underground scene, blending elements of EBM (Electronic Body Music), coldwave, industrial dance, and synth-pop. Dwyer's signature sound is defined by sharp, subversive synth rhythms, downcast drum machines, and brooding vocals that create a bleak, cinematic club atmosphere.
KONTRAVOID
Kontravoid is the dark electronic and electronic body music (EBM) project of Canadian-born, Los Angeles-based musician, producer, and drummer Cameron Findlay. Characterized by his signature masked persona, Findlay creates a brooding concoction of harsh rhythms, distorted vocals, and melancholic analog synth-pop melodies.
SPIKE HELLIS
Spike Hellis is an electronic music duo based in Los Angeles, California, comprised of musicians Cortland and Lainey. Formed on Halloween in 2019, the group has quickly carved out a distinct space in the underground music scene with their aggressive, minimalist blend of Electronic Body Music (EBM), industrial, and techno. They are widely recognized for their uncompromising, high-energy live performances and bleak, satirical worldview. The duo delivers a "wall of sound" constructed from atonal, harsh synth lines, grooving industrial basslines, and a grimy sonic palette that balances subterranean, dark textures with subtle nods to mainstream pop or 80s darkwave.
NORMAL BIAS
Normal Bias is an underground electronic music duo composed of members Matt W. (Matt Bias) and Chris C. (Chris Normal). Split between New York City and Atlanta, the band is best known for creating a distinct sound they describe as "industrial body funk"—a dark, seductive blend of Electronic Body Music (EBM), synth-pop, and danceable grooves. The duo crafts a sleek, humid atmosphere that combines the raw aggression of darkwave and classic industrial music with melodic pop sensibilities. Music critics have noted that their sound fits somewhere between the brooding intensity of Martin Gore (Depeche Mode) and the melodic, anxiety-ridden structures of Tom Ellard (Severed Heads).
TOTAL CHROMA
Total Chroma is a prominent Vancouver-based dark synth, minimal wave, and post-punk music project spearheaded by Canadian artist Robert Katerwol. The music is heavily inspired by 1980s Italo disco, classic EBM, and darkwave, turning out energetic, dark tracks built for "sweaty dance floor catharsis."
