Dopplereffekt’s sound combines mechanistic Detroit techno with synthscapes that “fetishize science” and suggest abandoned futures. Founder Gerald Donald (Rudolf Klorzeiger), one half of Drexciya, has spent the past few decades departing from that submerged mythology into his own cosmotechnical praxis. Dopplereffekt debuted with the Fascist State EP in 1995, and subsequent works have explored the outer reaches of abstract science and techno-politics, theoretical physics, and, most recently, brain-computer fusion on Neurotelepathy (2022) and Metasymmetry (the duo’s 2025 debut on Tresor Records). With sparse, metallic rhythms and eerie melodies, Dopplereffekt casts itself as documentarian of a technocratic fascist extrastatecraft where race, state, and machine blur into a multiversal mode of being beyond comprehensible space-time.

Honeydrip has been a notable name in the Montreal underground electronic scene for a decade. Having built her reputation in the burgeoning rave scene, she is now a revered bass music producer, DJ, and speaker builder who hosts workshops empowering women and LGBTQ+ members within sound system culture. Honeydrip’s practice is heavily inspired by dub, reggae, and dancehall, which she hybridizes and explores to create her signature sound. Honeydrip has been touring as a DJ and a live performer in Europe, UK, South America, and Canada, and has released recordings on labels such as Banoffee Pies Records, Woozy, Early Reflex, and more. She continues to affiliate herself with some of the most avant-garde labels in electronic music while deepening her connection to sound system culture.

MIIIA, also known as N3ZHA, has carved out a niche with her distinctive soundscapes that merge psychedelic elements with themes of futuristic technology and cybernetic explorations. Her journey in the music industry gained momentum in Shanghai’s vibrant electronic music scene, beginning with her radio show Trip Out Session on uDance, China’s pioneering 24-hour underground electronic music station. That platform led to her first international gig in Zurich and paved the way to notable appearances in MUTEK, Sonar HK, ADE, and the Red Bull Music Academy Bass Camp in Beijing in 2014, where she shared stages with global artists like Benji B and Hudson Mohawke. Now based in Vancouver, MIIIA is known for her dynamic live sets that incorporate an array of hardware and push musical boundaries, crafting soundscapes that are as innovative as they are emotive.
