Contact: wearethemidnightmafia@gmail.com

I'm Jean Cobo, also known as Midnight Mafia, an electronic dance music artist. My music is all about powerful basslines and innovative production. I love blending aggressive, ethereal, and beautiful melodic elements to create songs that really touch people. I recently released a sample pack through Greenroom.fm where I flexed my sound design.

I've had the incredible opportunity to share stages with some amazing artists. My music is inspired by a mix of genres like bass house, hip-hop, reggaeton, punk rock, and dubstep, which all come together to create a unique and exciting experience for club-goers.

I graduated from the Icon Collective music school in Los Angeles, and ever since, I've been dedicated to perfecting my craft. I aim to create songs that balance aggression and beauty, leaving my listeners on the edge of emotional release. I release a lot of bootlegs on SoundCloud :)

Founder of Venaeform Records & Producer - DJ

Spheric is a DJ, producer and performer in Los Angeles. Driven by his intuitive music exploration & selections, he translates his experiential thoughts, emotions and visions of an esoteric future within forgotten worlds. He often has in mind to evoke the same emotions when he first heard cutting edge sounds during the post punk era and the early underground warehouse parties in LA.
For over 5 years, Spheric is one of the resident DJs at Distorted Disco in DTLA playing forward-thinking music & broadening the sonic horizons of LA’s scene. Still actively spinning at various underground events, he has played alongside acclaimed acts such as Ancient Methods, Blush Response, Rhys Fulber, AXKAN, Monya, WarinD, ESA, IV Horsemen, Cervello Elettronico, Sleep Clinic & Veldt.
In 2019, he resumed producing under several unique aliases -Temaut, Sullen Fate, & Ixïan with diverse releases on Venaeform Records, Brutal Forms, Omen Recordings, Obseqvivm Records, & RND.R. He incorporates a hybrid set-up of modular, hardware, and virtual systems to create his own signature palettes of sound. As in his DJing, he prefers a different path less taken with his productions and live performances.
In late 2022, Spheric commenced a new imprint out of Los Angeles called Venaeform Records. The vinyl and digital media label will be focusing on aberrations of techno, ebm and other forward thinking electronic genres.
