mineo kawasaki
Last seen at Sled Island in 2025, Mineo Kawasaki continues to create rhythm‑driven electronic worlds born from live drums and a MIDI controller. He has toured the world with immersive sets that blur percussion and electronics, and bend post‑rock minimalism to his will. Equal parts precision, texture and motion, this gig is not to be missed.
mon cher
The indie electronic project of Denver-based artist Meghan Holton, mon cher sculpts hypnotic indie electronic soundscapes with textured synths, punchy beats and airy vocals. Her 2025 EP you don’t feel it when you fall slow maps longing and escape, while the live femme duo (with drummer/partner Caitlyn Sullivan) transforms intimate studio tracks into high-vibe stage moments.
