Her specialties include high-intensity impact, emotional edgeplay, and the exquisite alchemy of turning suffering and surrender into pleasure and empowerment. Come experience Her for yourself.
dj noise
noise has been a fixture of the Minneapolis music scene since the 1990’s, when he was a founder of the darkwave and industrial production companies Nachtmusik, Inc. and Silent Productions while simultaneously playing in the goth punk and post-gothic bands Glass and Silent Tristero.
Since those days, he has shared the bill with such acts as Skinny Puppy, VNV Nation, Aesthetic Perfection, Front Line Assembly, and countless others.
Bringing layered, pulsing, and hypnotic beats, noise finds a cross between the familiar and the sublime.
Having played venues from mere tens to several thousands in size, noise is currently resident at Ground Zero in Minneapolis, as well as dj for Minnesota Roller Derby, but also likes to travel to play outside of his home town whenever possible.
One can usually find noise floating around the club on his bottom-lit roller skates.
dj Lorth
Lorth is one of the resident DJs at Ground Zero and frequents the dance floor when he is not DJing. Lorth also manages the Ground Zero discord to the best of his abilities as life does get in the way of things. You can find him frequently helping during Raptures and spinning slightly different than normal tunes during Forbidden Bazaars. Lorth started helping at CONvergence many moons ago and the rest is history.
Since then Lorth has broadened his horizons and even helps out at local shows, most recently being Combichrist’s Old School show. Musically Lorth is very eclectic but some of his favorites include; EBM, Industrial, Darkwave, many kinds of Synth, and Metal.
Pronouns are He/They.
dj Fenris
Fenris has been lurking around the Twin Cities darkside scene for many years both on the dance floor and behind the decks for several events and nights. In addition to Ground Zero, Fenris is a resident at Hard Mondays and has DJed at events such as Goth Prom, Rubber Ball USA, and CONvergence.
Fenris has also provided support for many live shows from Absynthetic Productions and Kilted Farmer, sharing the bill with bands such as Hocico, Aesthetic Perfection, Empathy Test and Unwoman.
Having previously explored other genres such as hardstyle, and hard trance, DJ Fenris favors EBM, industrial, goth, post-punk, and synthpop as well as shoegaze and moody, downtempo electronica.
Fenris uses the pronouns he/him.

Brian Struble
Hi, I’m Bryan – and I’m now calling Saint Michael, Minnesota, home.
After nearly 15 amazing years in Tennessee, I’ve made the move north and am excited to explore and connect with the greater Minneapolis area. Whether I’m wandering the city streets with my camera or meeting new faces in the community, I’m always looking for inspiration—and I can’t wait to discover all the stories this place has to offer.
My journey with photography began back in grade school when I unwrapped my first Polaroid camera. From capturing candid family moments to experimenting with film in high school and college photography classes, this craft has been a lifelong passion. Over the years, that passion has grown into something even greater: a way to help others celebrate life’s most meaningful moments.
When we work together, it’s more than just a photo session—it’s a creative collaboration. I bring a relaxed, friendly energy to every shoot because I believe the best images come from real connection and genuine emotion. My goal is to help you feel comfortable, have fun, and walk away with photographs that are not just beautiful, but deeply personal.
Let’s make some memories—authentic, joyful, and worth keeping forever. I’m excited to meet you and help tell your story through my lens.
