Dreamer Isioma w/ ivri – All Ages
First-generation Nigerian-American singer and songwriter Dreamer Isioma has quickly built a cult following and has long received praise and support by some of today’s biggest stars including SZA, Janelle Monae, Steve Lacy, Doja Cat, Lizzo, Foushee, Kali Uchis and many more through their dynamic art. Fierce and unrelenting in their vision, Dreamer’s music has long worked to dismantle genre confines and disrupt social norms to ultimately create space for those who don’t fit into binaries. Dreamer broke onto the scene with their massive hit “Sensitive” in 2020, which has now clocked in nearly 220 million streams and landed them on Rolling Stone’s Breakthrough 25 Chart ranked at #6 as well as #1 on Shazam’s Predictions 2021 Chart ultimately reaching a viral explosion on TikTok. Dreamer has time-after-time received large critical acclaim for each of their explosive projects, including Princess Forever, The Leo Sun Sets, and Goodnight Dreamer. Additionally, Isioma has amassed 325 million career streams across their catalog and becoming a bonafide critical press darling who has been lauded by NPR, Rolling Stone, Vogue, i-D, Complex, BET, Billboard, NME, Teen Vogue, PAPER Magazine, Pigeons and Planes, Nylon, HYPEBEAST, them, Wonderland and many others. The Chicago native has become celebrated for effortlessly combining timeless vocals and groovy, funk-inspired production, brilliantly fusing indie rock, R&B, pop, Afrobeats, and hip hop with lyrical themes about being unapologetic, carefree, and joyful despite external pressure and opinion. Dreamer’s voice has become an anthem for young marginalized voices everywhere defying conformity and intolerance. Their captivating music and message has positioned them as an undeniable force who is re-inventing and revolutionizing modern popular music. Dreamer is preparing to release their third studio album StarX Lover this spring. The new chapter is soundtracked by a sonic direction that ventures in a more rock / alternative territory while still remaining rooted in the Dreamer’s Nigerian heritage and life in Lagos, a scintillating new sound they call “Afropop rock.” The visual unveils a world that draws from the work of Norman Bates and evokes a solar punk, dark sci-fi feel with a mesmerizing duality between a superhero and a villain.

Chihei Hatakeyama w/ Wild Card, {arsonist} – 21+
Chihei Hatakeyama is a sound artist, an organizer and mastering engineer who was born in 1978, and lives in Tokyo. He has performed for years under his given name and also as one half of the electroacoustic duo Opitope, along with Tomoyoshi Date. Hatakeyama got involved in playing music through strumming a electric guitar in a few rock-oriented bands in his teenage years. Subsequently a laptop computer superseded his bands as his main platform. Hatakeyama polychromes memory-evoking soundscapes with various recorded materials of acoustic instruments such as guitars, vibraphone, and piano; mostly played by hand and processed time and time again via laptop. His first album Minima Moralia was commissioned for release by the Chicago-based label kranky in early 2006. Since then his many albums have been released by Room 40, Under The Spire, Hibernate Records, Magic Book Records, Home Nomal, OwnRecords, Spekk, Dronarivm, Constellation Tatsu, Glacial Movements Records and his own label White Paddy Mountain. In 2013 Hatakeyama founded the record label White Paddy Montain, which has since released over 40 recordings by some of the most accomplished musicians and modern ambient musicians, Shoegazer and folk musicians in Japan. Recent years Hatakeyama continues to evolve his sound by analog synthesizer, modular synthesizer and compact guitar effector. Hatakeyama approaches some modular synthesizer and electric guitar drone projects with an expectation of new directions. Wild Card of Cascadia is a trio from Portland whose immersive, spontaneous music emerges from omnivorous, adaptable, inquisitive working methods. In search of unexpected discoveries they deploy conceptual prompts, unexpected instrumentation, and game-like challenges. Their emphasis on electro-acoustic sound means they draw from a large array of instruments and techniques, from free improvisation to concrete composition. Wild Card’s membership includes established artists William Selman (Mysteries of the Deep, Critique of Everyday Life), Marcus Fischer (12k), and Paul Dickow (who records as Strategy), but the group’s sound is distinct from their individual projects. {arsonist} is the solo project of Pittsburgh native, classically-trained violinist and producer Danielle Rager. Collaging raucous, algorithmically arranged electronics, manipulated vocals, and her mother-tongue of lush orchestral arrangements, {arsonist} kindles a unique symphonic form of computer music. Her live sets bridge multiple A/V frameworks including live-coding musical language TidalCycles, Ableton Live, and reactive visual platforms OpenFrameworks and GLSL. {arsonist} tracks have been featured in collections from Renraku, Genot Centre, and PC Music. She makes her full length studio debut on Unifactor in 2020 with album Reality Structure, which explores the mystique common to the symbolic languages of dreams and mathematics.
