Drawing inspiration from 80s new wave and Italo, she crafts music that is both nostalgic and fresh, blending dreamy melodies with heavy-hitting electronic beats. Beyond her distinctive sound, Riki is also a talented dancer and performer, captivating audiences with her hypnotic energy at live shows. Her ability to merge music, movement, and style makes her a standout presence in the modern synth-pop landscape.</p><p></p><h2><strong>HOUSES OF HEAVEN</strong></h2><p>—</p><p>Oakland’s Houses of Heaven fuse the grit of early industrial with dizzying hits of EBM, techno, and drum &amp; bass, all imbued with lyrical themes that draw equally from the emotional and the mechanical. Within/Without, their sophomore LP for Felte, delves into a realm of intricate intensity, pushing electronics to the forefront with the production prowess of Matia Simovich (INHALT), and features top-of-their-game guest vocals from Douglas McCarthy (Nitzer Ebb) and Mariana Saldaña (BOAN).</p><p></p><h2><strong>BESTIAL MOUTHS</strong></h2><p>—</p><p>Since their inception in 2009, Berlin via NYC &amp; LA outfit Bestial Mouths have been creating some of the most powerful darkwave in the musical underground. Now guided primarily by frontwoman and co-founder Lynette Cerezo, whose vocals range from operatic, extended-technique furies to shouted monologues, the band are a medium for pure, intense emotion.</p><p></p><p>Bestial's latest incarnation continues to channel new and experimental paths through the project's original gothic post-punk roots. Led by Cerezo's visceral, emotional voice and lyrics, and featuring beautifully brutal production from Brant Showers (AAIMON/SØLVE), Alex DeGroot (Zola Jesus) and Balázs Képli (nullius in verba) and a live incarnation with David Foster (HUREN/TESTE) and Raf Abr (FUROR) the music of Bestial Mouths is the journey of a soul shattered—then stapled back together by female rage and self-determination.</p><p></p><h2><strong>CROWJANE</strong></h2><p>—</p><p>Since the release of her debut full-length, Mater Dolorosa, CrowJane debuted her live band (which included a 10-member choir) at L.A.’s prestigious Zebulon. Her newest EP ‘Bound To Me’ is cinematic and explores a variety of instruments and styles. ’She has also issued some new singles/videos that are remixes of some of the Mater tracks. The latest is “A Salty Breeze-remix,” accompanied by the type of high-level video production fans have come to expect from the avant/alternative artist. The first, “The Pharmacy-Remix,” was accompanied by an elaborately filmed and costumed video, including CrowJane’s own pro-makeup designs. Said Outburn magazine, “Experimental post-punk artist CrowJane has roared back to life with a brand-new remix of her single “The Pharmacy,” which was produced by Daniel Munoz and is out today via Kitten Robot Records. While stuck in quarantine, Galipo decided to play around with the songs from her debut, remixing and reimagining the songs in new contexts. ‘Daniel Munoz and I started pulling apart these tracks, adding a different flair and personal touches,’ she explains. ‘We remixed The Pharmacy to give it new life and to create something we think will be great at a live show.’”</p><p></p><h2><strong>SLEEPING DESIRES</strong></h2><p>—</p><p>Solo Artist SF &lt;--&gt; Oakland since 2009</p>
