Bristol-based, New York-bred Angelica Allen crafts dreamy yet danceable pop. Combining deeply soulful vocals, ethereal harmonies, poetic lyrics, and 80's influenced soundscapes, she produces a brand of Electronic R&B that is equally reminiscent of Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel as it is Janelle Monae. Following the success of her previous work-—including shows supporting Tegan and Sara, Solange, and Blood Orange as well as features in Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, and VICE—Angelica retreated to write her first full-length album. Fully delving into production while the world around her seemed to tumble into chaos during the pandemic, Angelica found a new voice and created a sacred space to nurture her distinctly eclectic vision that is equal parts sonic meditation and rallying war cry.

John C.S. Keston is an award winning composer of electronic, experimental, and instrumental music. His work embraces the chaotic ambiguities of environmental and sensorial influences providing context within unpredictable or everyday events. His unconventional compositions convey a spirit of discovery and exploration through the use of graphic scores, chance and generative techniques, analog and digital synthesis, experimental sound design, signal processing, and acoustic piano. His compositions parallel indeterminate improvisation activating what remains immutable within traditional forms of notation driven music. Performers are empowered to use their phonomnesis, or sonic imaginations, to contribute to the work.

His music appears in The Jeffrey Dahmer Files (2012) and he composed the music for the short Familiar Pavement (2015) presented at the MNKINO Film Score Fest. He has appeared on more than a dozen albums including two solo albums on Unearthed Music. His latest release, Isosceles (2016) has drawn comparisons to the Stranger Things soundtrack. In 2011 he won the Minnesota Emerging Composers Award for electronic musicians. In 2013 he won the Jerome Fund for New Music for his project documenting binaural duets with the Singing Ringing Tree in the UK. 

John has performed and exhibited original work at Northern Spark, an all night arts festival with over 200,000 attendees (MN); the Weisman Art Museum (MN); the Montreal Jazz Festival; the Walker Art Center; the Burnet Gallery (MN); the In/Out Festival of Digital Performance (NYC); the Eyeo Festival (MN); INST-INT (MN); Echofluxx (Prague); WMC (Miami); and Moogfest (NC). In addition, Keston has worked with Atmosphere, Jon Davis, Martin Dosh, Peter Hennig, Joshua Herbst, Cody McKinney, Graham O'Brien, Adam Svec, and Nils Westdal to name a few. John resides in Minneapolis where he is a professor of creative multimedia at the University of St. Thomas and founded the widely read sound design resource  <a href="http://audiocookbook.org" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">AudioCoobook.org</a> where he shares sounds and writes about his unique approach to composition, production, and performance.

Inizia a fare il dj nel 1987 come resident dell'allora glorioso CENTRAL PARK di Firenze. Nel 1989 e' resident per 5 anni di un'altro storico Club fiorentino lo YAB YUM. Nei primi anni 90 diventa dj supporter di alcuni tra i piu' importanti live acts di quegli anni (Jamiroquai_Galliano_Tricky_Portished_Young Disciples_Guru). Nel 1992 da vita alla sua prima produzione integrale di serate con l'evento alternativo del Mercoledi' sera (P.O.W.E.R.) in collaborazione con Liam J Nabb. Serata dedicata ad un suono primitivo basato su Funky Breaks e spunti Dub dove la voce non trova  quasi mai spazio, se non come elemento sonoro. Nasce l'Etno_Dub dal quale poi deriveranno successivamente il Trip Hop e la Breakbeat. A pochi anni di distanza, nel 1996, il sodalizio con Liam J Nabb produce una nuova tipologia di One Night il LIQUID. All'interno soprattutto video arte e installazioni. Il tutto in una colonna sonora totalmente libera ed espressiva che successivamente alcuni djs definiranno ECLECTIC. Grazie al LIQUID fanno il loro esordio in italia Matthew Herbert, Luke Vibert e Kemistry & Storm. Nel 1999, dopo un'illuminante esperienza di 2 anni in GB a Londra, torna a Firenze e fonda APNEA in collaborazione con Ivan Villa e diventa proprietario dello storico club EXMUD. APNEA in pochi anni riesce a portare alla ribalta la Drum 'N' Bass. In 7 anni la serata cresce all'interno della programmazione dell'EXMUD, trasformandosi e dando spazio a tutte le sfumature della DnB. Nel 2005 e' il primo Club d'Italia nel quale si suona DUBSTEP. Una miscela esplosiva di Dub_2step_Etno. Nello stesso anno decide di abbandonare la DnB per dedicarsi artisticamente in assoluto a questo suono che segue fino al 2009 grazie alla creazione di ELASTICA Recs. Dal 2010 riprende il suo lavoro di diggin e la sua grande passione per l'elettronica che lo accompagna fino a tutto il 2011. Dal 2012 decide di stabilirsi in Messico!
