THIEF is the Los Angeles-based dark electronic project of multi-instrumentalist Dylan Neal, formerly of the San Francisco experimental black metal outfit BOTANIST. Described as "what happens when Portishead and Nine Inch Nails have sex in a haunted church," THIEF merges trip hop, industrial, metal and experimental electronics with manipulated sacred chant and choral samples to create an immersive sound THIEF has dubbed "Dungeon Pop", a besoke sound that floats between ethereal choirs, pulverizing rhythms, and towering walls of sound.
Phoenix-based post-punk/cold wave mixed with minimalist electronic textures, producing a claustrophobic yet hypnotic soundscape.
Terminal 11 is the experimental electronic music and video art project of Phoenix based artist and Arizona native Michael Castañeda. Originating in 1999 as an idea for an art piece, Terminal 11 has grown into a maximalist exploration of sound design, field recording, electronic composition and video art. He has released 15 albums since 2001 on labels including Opal Tapes, Satellite Era, Schematic, Hymen, Love Love Records, Cock Rock Disco, Gilgongo, and Phthalo. Castañeda has toured the United States as well as internationally throughout Germany, Spain, Netherlands, Russia, Austria, and Hungary including festivals ADE (Amsterdam), Sick Fest (Moscow), Transmediale (Berlin), PhxArt Amplified (Phoenix), and Resonance (Phoenix).
