Syvia exists where the Northern Lights of Norway meet the skyscrapers of New York City. The Brooklyn-based indie electronic band is led by Ruth Mirsky (ex. The Drums), an American-Norwegian citizen who was born and raised on the Bowery.  Their latest single “Brother” will be released just before their first performance of 2019 at The New Colossus Festival in NYC. 

Emotive guitar riffs intertwine with atmospheric synths and pulsing drums to create a brand of dark, brooding electronic pop sure to entrance listeners. Under the Radar says, "Fans of The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Cure, and My Blood Valentine, you’re going to eat this up.” Meanwhile, Impose Magazine writes of their single, “’Anxious Animal' breaks down the anxiety and nerves to a primordial level that feels freeing and empowering.”

Syvia’s songs have been featured on TV shows such as Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, Stitchers, The Vampire Diaries, and ABC's premiere of 666 Park Avenue. Syvia was a Green Label Sound/Soundcloud Undiscovered finalist a few years ago and toured Scandinavia as part of Brooklyn Brewery’s first ever “Brooklyn Sound” program. Syvia is currently writing new music that blends pop, rock, post-punk and electronic genres.

Malin is a DJ, producer, and vocalist whose sets move like stories—hypnotic, emotional, and charged with raw energy. Her debut solo EP marks a new chapter, blending her roots as a touring rock frontwoman with her evolving electronic sound.
Before stepping into electronic music, Malin fronted a touring rock band, performing on stages such as House of Blues, MTV Summer Stage, Nikon Theatre, and Mohegan Sun Arena. That same raw performance energy now pulses through her deep, melodic, and groove-driven productions.
Based between Costa Rica and Europe, her sound bridges worlds—intimate yet expansive, cinematic yet deeply human. Each set unfolds as a journey: haunting vocals, layered textures, and deep basslines that lead dancers into states of release and connection.

He and the team curate intimate monthly techno-heavy gatherings at Jupiter Disco and Bossa Nova Civic Club in Brooklyn as well as a monthly MASHT NYC podcast featuring local and international guests.

Rio Tigre is a Brooklyn-based band fusing synth-pop and experimental electronic music. Blending ethereal vocals with lush instrumental textures reminiscent of The xx and M83, the band’s sound conjures an image of driving across the Williamsburg Bridge at 4am, the twinkle of Manhattan fading away in the rearview mirror. 

The new releases from Rio Tigre represent a turning point for Parisian songwriter and frontman Raphael Pazoumian, a rebirth of sorts as he reinvents the band 3,500 miles from home. Drawing inspiration from both sides of the Atlantic, Rio Tigre’s cinematic dreamscapes set them apart as the soundtrack for unforgettable nights spent chasing the sunrise.

SONTAG SHOGUN (2006 - on)

Sontag Shogun was borne from the ashes of the fiery phoenix. This blazing winged creature produced a wet mewling pup, crawling blindly through the slick muck that was wet, ashy birth. Sontag Shogun is, put simply, an ongoing experiment. Somewhere between a lullaby and a dirge, Sontag Shogun takes their lullanoise and tries to find the strange, eery moments that exist within beauty. The snapshot before and after a bright, wide smile. The warm gleam of bones on the beach, picked clean of meat and tendons. 

Sontag Shogun is an ambient, electronic piano trio comprised of former members from [the] slowest runner [in all the world]. Pooling their influences from modern classical, improvised and ambient musical spheres, they create longform shape-shifting compositions that are at times lush and melodic as well as textural and unpredictable. They have improvised with artists as diverse as Matana Roberts, Tom Carter, Aki Onda as well as a collective of Japanese contemporary video artists. Sontag Shogun performs alongside black and white video-loop collages from films and archival footage, embracing the evocative and emotive nature of their melodic textures. They make music to dream away to, or from.

“There’s a tangible loneliness to Sontag Shogun's music, but there's a wistful loveliness present, too. The Brooklyn trio assumes a sort of songwriting assembly line, with Ian Temple's emotive, tremulous piano figures falling prey to Jesse Perlstein's legion of atmospheric, laptop-catalogue samples and the oscillator/tapes/electronic militia at Jeremy Young's command. Borne thereof are instrumentals that hover somewhere between quiet-storm raucous and New Age quiescent: giggly ivory-tickles brush elbows with industrial found sounds; funny-bone effects trill like cicadas or fireworks or distant slide whistles; sonatas and pitch-shifted drones suck face. Unlikely antecedents turn up in this mournful and meditative melee (The band counts composers like Arvo Part, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Philip Glass, and Max Richter among their influences.) Perhaps it's just that they seem to, for succumbing to a Sontag Shogun song is like wandering into a mist or thinny in a mystery novel: the first few seconds are universally objective, but beyond that, the experience is colored by what the listener brings to the table. ”

Even more simply put, Sontag Shogun is:

Jeremy Young, Jesse Perlstein & Ian Temple
