Lokua is a Chicago based producer and live p/a artist currently focused on minimal, acid-laden, flooriented, swung and polymetric techno. His tools of choice include anything and everything from a laptop and MIDI controllers, to 100s of HP of Eurorack, samplers, drum machines, and polysynths. He brings with him over 25+ years of songwriting experience. 
 
Lokua began his life as a musician making beats in his mother's basement and selling cassette tapes in high school primarily to aid freestyle cyphers. Increasingly inspired by groundbreaking artists like DJ Premier, Aphex Twin, Larry Heard, and Brian Eno, as well as Chicago's underground legends The Opus (of Rubberroom), Lokua immersed himself in the art of live p/a. This eventually led to co-founding the Moment Sound collective and label with fellow artists Slava and Garo, who together held down residencies focused on live electronic music and motion graphics at Subterranean, Darkroom, Rodan, Morseland, and other venues across Chicago. Lokua has released tracks on Moment Sound, Don't Trust Humans, Smooth Agent, Diane's Hunting Club, CPKAY, in addition to self releases. He has opened for artists such as Luke Slater, Claude Young, and Daedalus. He is currently a member of The Listening Club and Podval crews.

(A/R label owner of Disposable Commodities) Portland based Justin Screendoor began DJing in 1996, cutting his teeth on the Midwest rave circuit in Chicago, Minneapolis, Madison - a veteran vinyl practitioner with a DIY sound system sensibility, and the versatility to broadcast for a range of atmospheres, venues, crowds, and moments. 
“My DJing style and sound has been honed over the last 20 years playing weekly residency slots, afterhours, loft parties, warehouses, festival stages, all types of clubs in between and dedicated bedroom sessions.  The focus for my sets is to push the limits of what the dancefloor can take – getting weird and psychedelic– perfecting an adventurous yet streamlined DJing style. I specialize in underground house and techno (Detroit, Chicago, Berlin) with dalliances into minimal, disco, breaks, and ambient.  I am a new music obsessive - avidly tracking new music releases on the daily and finding continued inspiration.  I also started the Disposable Commodities (DIS.CO) record label in 2014 and I try to put out 1 to 2 new releases a year.”
