[ TORONTO/VANCOUVER ]
- GOTH // INDUSTRIAL //DARK ELECTRO // EBM -
Emerging from the depths of Vancouver’s underground rave culture and now based in Toronto, Kasey Riot has carved a magnetic presence in the global Alternative & Techno scene. Over the past 15 years she’s been the pulse of the warehouse, club, and festival scenes from Canada to Europe while releasing a consistent flow of music through esteemed labels like Play Records, Layer 909, TK Records, Wet Trax.
Kasey’s influence transcends borders. Her European tours have seen her electrify iconic venues like Ministry Of Sound, EGG, and Kit Kat Club. She’s closed iconic afterhours like Revolver in Australia and closer to home, she creates dance floor havoc at Canadian festivals Bass Coast, Electric Love & Future Forest.
But Kasey’s impact goes beyond her music. She’s the visionary behind Hotline, an elusive warehouse rave that amplifies the voices of marginalized underground DJs. Her sets are a genre-defying blend of Techno, Industrial, Breaks, Acid & Goth, all punctuated with a touch of Bass—making her a testament to her West Coast bass scene influence.

Live Evil aka Sean Beesley is a dark music legend in Toronto.
Charted #1 Beatport Producer / Remixer. Mixing, and Mastering Engineer. Musician, Song Writer, and Vocalist. Sound / Sample/ Loop Creator.... and DJ!
Starting on on guitar at age 10 music has been the core passion of Sean Beesley for 40 years. With his first studio job starting at 17 at Mean Street Studios in Brougham Ontario.
Founding member of 90's Industrial Metal Band Die Blind. Created in 1991. With members drawing from multiple areas of the Toronto "Alternative" scene at the time. With influences ranging from Punk to Metal and early hip hop and a special wide eye fascination with the experimental and evolving sounds of Industrial EBM and Post Punk movements. 1995 Die Blind saw its final line up and had settled into "it's sound" being a diverse blend of all influences. Adding themselves as regulars to the 90's Toronto Industrial scene along side powerhouse Toronto industrial pioneers Malhavoc, DHI, and Masochistic Religion and being the local "Opener" to acts such as Sister Machine and Download.

>_BURLESQUE/TEASE: CHELLA BELLA [ TORONTO ]
Welcome back - Chella Bella!!! — Toronto’s half-Arab, half-ghost burlesque extraordinaire.
Born of an Arab mystic and a whispering ghost, she was raised on oud smoke and moonlight, wrapped in silks that shimmered like water in the sun.
She has danced for sultans and specters, kissed kings, cursed sailors, and conjured dreams from drowning tides.
By day, she defies gravity as a trained aerialist. By night, she becomes the mistress of illusion, summoning ancient magic through movement, myth, and mischief
