USA BASED ARTIST WILLIAM MALK, ALSO KNOWN AS KOMPRESS0R, CAPTURES THE RAW AND IMMERSIVE ENERGY OF TECHNO. HIS SOUND EVOKES SMOKE FILLED WAREHOUSES, BRICK WALLS, FLASHING LIGHTS, AND THE DEEP PULSE OF BASS BENEATH TOWERING SPEAKER STACKS. EACH TRACK BECOMES A DELIBERATE ACT OF PROVOCATION AND CONTROL.

INFLUENCED BY THE GENRE’S AMERICAN MIDWEST ORIGINS AND ITS GLOBAL EVOLUTION, KOMPRESS0R DRAWS FROM FIGURES SUCH AS GESAFFELSTEIN, DVS1, BRITISH MURDER BOYS, THE HACKER, AND BELIEF DEFECT. HE COMBINES VINTAGE SYNTHS WITH MODERN PRODUCTION TECHNIQUES TO BUILD HYPNOTIC, PROGRESSIVE SOUNDSCAPES. HIS MUSIC BRIDGES THE TENSION BETWEEN PAST AND PRESENT, BODY AND MACHINE.

GUIDED BY AVANT GARDE MOVEMENTS LIKE DADA AND SURREALISM, KOMPRESS0R TREATS COMPOSITION AS BOTH EXPERIMENT AND PHILOSOPHY. HIS WORK EMBRACES ABSTRACTION, UNPREDICTABILITY, AND THE SUBCONSCIOUS. EVERY PERFORMANCE BECOMES A LIVING EXPERIENCE, NOT A SIMPLE SET. THROUGH SOUND, LIGHT, AND RESTRAINT, KOMPRESS0R PUSHES TECHNO FORWARD. TRANSFORMING IT INTO AN ONGOING EXPLORATION OF ART, EMOTION, AND DESIGN.

Smartbar Resident, Chicago 
Format Recordings 

Scientist by day, DJ by night. Brenda's life is a dynamic blend of science and music. A classically trained pianist and saxophonist, music has been a lifelong defining force. Active in Chicago's underground scene since the late 90s, Brenda is now a Smartbar resident, A&R for Format Recordings, and co-curator of Format events and the Format.FM podcast series. She creates a symbiotic relationship with the dance floor, feeding off its energy and giving it back tenfold, drawing inspiration from soulful jazz, dark, gritty drum & bass, and beyond. While her sets maintain consistent themes of darker, harder, hypnotic techno, she also explores moments of ethereal sound, harmonious melodies and jackin' stompers. An advocate for women in both music and science, Brenda, who holds a PhD in molecular and cellular biochemistry, champions diversity in all pursuits. She finds mentoring deeply rewarding and is committed to giving back to the underground culture—building community, fostering connections, and empowering others.
