As the saturated synths rise behind the lyrics “Just take your stamp off my design” on Josie Pace’s driving single, “Battleground” we immediately understand this is not an artist who is weak when abandoned. Instead, this Detroit artist’s music represents a piece of her solitude. The blistering glow of downtempo post-industrial beats, electro-pop melodies and layered soundscapes are home to Josie’s captivating lyrics; she is a songwriter in the purest sense. The result is a pulsating sound that will haunt you with vulnerability while basking in Josie’s world of self-reflection and unapologetic rock and roll attitude that Detroit is legendary for.

Long before the history-making tattoos, ubiquitous television shows, best-selling books, and influential beauty empire, Kat Von D sat down at a piano for nearly two hours a day and played. Classical training and a deep appreciation for music of all genres underscored her life. She studied voice under Ken Tamplin six days per week, strengthening her vocals. In 2012, she began writing with GRAMMY® Award-nominated legend Linda Perry. Following this experience, Kat continued to write on her own, sitting at the piano and summoning songs from raw emotion.

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process (you) do not become a monster.  And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.” -Friedrich Nietzsche 
 
War torn from past and present battles of mental illness and addiction, the monsters are very real and the abyss is a current state of reality for MXMS, short for “Me and My Shadow." Comprised of singer Ariel Levitan and multi-instrumentalist Jeremy Dawson,  the self-produced duo from New York City and small town Oklahoma creates their own musical genre “Funeral Pop” fusing classic melodic songwriting with dark unfiltered chaos driven by a thousand forms of fear.     
 
Me and My Shadow pendulum swing from raw piano and voice to an expansive pallet of dark instrumentation, pulsing analog synthesizers and a crushing rhythm section layered around Ariel’s haunting delivery.   Focusing on movements of emotional trauma and taboo metaphoric expression, the brutal honesty of MXMS leaves an open invitation for listeners' own stories rise to the surface.    
 
Their deubt EP Funeral Pop I  includes previous singles “Paris,” “After Night,” and “Gravedigger,” which garnered attention from Suicide Sheep, Earmilk, KCRW, and Spotify editorial playlists including Chill Vibes, Alternative Beats, Sludge, Just Chill, Fresh Finds, and Indie Darlings as well as the Topsify's Indie Mixtape playlist. “Paris” also hit #1 on Hype Machine the first week of release, and MXMS has received press from the likes of Consequence of Sound, NestHQ, Rolling Stone, Fader and many others.

Night Club is a dark electronic music duo from Los Angeles, CA that features Emily Kavanaugh and Mark Brooks. 

Formed in 2012, Brooks and Kavanaugh's music has appeared in numerous television shows such as Awkward, Jersey Shore and Mysteries of Laura.  Night Club wrote all the music for the Comedy Central show "Moonbeam City" featuring Rob Lowe.
