ABOUT rEmPiT g0dDe$$
Part of Southeast Asia's electronic music scene, Victoria Yam moves between worlds as easily as she slips between her two experimental projects, Viktoria and rEmPiT g0dDe$$. Spending her time between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, the producer and DJ boldy ventures into the farthest, darkest recesses of inustrial club, whipping up missives from the underground --- playing across Asia & Europe such as Boiler Room for Maho Rasop Festival in Bankok and Naarm's Speed at Final in Taipei. Victoria is a Southeast Asian music practitioner in the development of Southeast Asia's electronic music scene and has been exploring in-depth the practices of forward-thinking club & rave culture. She is the International winner of the UK based Oram Awards 2023, an annual event celebrating women and gender minority artists who push the limits of electronic sound across the globe. She founded 3Niti, a DJ collective highlighting femme & queer DJs across Southeast Asia.
ABOUT WeTurnToRed
Toronto modular synth artist and DJ WeTurnToRed (a.k.a. Shamanta Chandran) is a Syrian-born Tamil-Canadian producer/DJ/ singer/songwriter and scientist based in Toronto. Growing up on the city’s outskirts, she studied and classically trained in opera and jazz as an arts high school kid. Her deep love for electronic music was ignited after her older brother introduced her to the mid-90s Toronto rave scene. After experimenting in the studio for over a decade, delving into melodic nuances of modular and analog synths, it was clear that growling basslines and haunting melodies were the subjects of her affection. She made her mark in Toronto’s electronic music scene through live hardware deep house/techno-focused sets. As a DJ, her mixes run into genre-spanning territory with her opening for Waajeed, DJ Minx, Orphix, Patrice Scott, Dawd and Tony Humpheries. Her newest release for 2023 is her EP Rogue Planet which reflects her early life experiences as a South Asian immigrant who journeyed from the Middle East to North America as a child.
