With three appearances on Mathematics, and releases on Bio Rhythm, Until My Heart Stops, Isaiah Tapes and La Beaute Du Negatif, DeViere champions an uncompromising and fiercely eclectic music ethos. Juno Plus describes DeViere's productions as exciting new mutations on the Detroit-informed side of machine music, working in dub techno influences amongst a gritty, Chicago-flavored finish that brims with curious, ear-snagging ideas. As a resident DJ for the Progressive Black radio show, most recently on 90.3 FM WZBC, he is willing to venture from disco to house to techno and back again, all in a single set, but able to do so convincingly

Abco, also known as Abby Tilton, has been raised with passion for music. She grew up in New Jersey where her singer-songwriter father had her playing drums at the age of three and guitar at seven. Sports quickly became Abby's focus in middle school through college, but that didn't stop her from needing to curate the warm up music for all of her teams. It wasn’t until 2017 when Abby took the dive into enrolling in Mmmmaven’s master program in DJing and music production where her passion was ignited even more. Her good ear for music and love of dancing is evident as she spins a mix of feel-good nudisco, deep house, and future house tracks.

Sur5ILL (pronounced survival) is a rapper/producer/guitarist from Boston, Massachusetts whose unconventional, nerdy style and topics have earned him a reputation as somewhat of an antihero in various musical circles.
The wiry wordsmith has released five projects from 2013 to 2018 which feature a rapid, multi-syllabic cadence blended with atypical narratives and smooth beats ranging from Latin lounge to trap.
Moreover, using his performative platform to raise tens of thousands of dollars for orphans in West Africa has landed the rapper in such esteemed publications as Scout Somerville and The New York Times.

The first full-length from Mr. Lif & Akrobatik (The Perceptionists) in a dozen years reflects the struggles and near-death sagas that struck them. During that span, Lif miraculously survived his tour bus plummeting over a 38 foot cliff. Akrobatik weathered a sudden aortic rupture and emergency open-heart surgery. The impact of those experiences forced the former Def Jux duo to contemplate fate, luck, and their own place within a world spinning out of control.

Sur5ILL is a rapper/producer/guitarist from Boston, MA who fell in love with Hip-Hop after being imbued with the spirit of the genre in the early 1990s. Fortunately, the combination of the 1990s and a predominantly white private high school also saw the likes of grunge and alternative rock music greatly shape his musical palate.
Sur5ILL, the self-professed nerd, has been furiously rapping solo since the dissolution of the jam band, The LE Project, with which Sur5ILL was involved as a vocalist and rhythm guitarist from 2009 to 2012. He released four mixtapes from 2013 to 2017 before announcing his first studio album, Goaler, which was released on Friday the 13th (April 2018).
