WITH VERY SPECIAL GUESTS:

We are so excited to welcome back a local legend in dark electronic music RICH ODDIE!
Known WORLDWIDE at raves, clubs, and concerts for his long running work in techo/ industrial duo Orphx, Rich has been creating innovative dark electronic music since the early 90s.

Drawing on a wide range of influences that include drone, punk, industrial, techno, and shoegaze. Often working in collaboration with Christina Sealey, as well as Eschaton (Orphx + Ancient Methods), Ontario Hospital (Oddie + Huren), and Oureboros (Oddie + Aron West).

His solo productions have been met with critical acclaim, developing an atmospheric mix of ice cold techno, aquatic dub, and industrial abrasion. In recent years, Rich has been playing eclectic DJ sets that combine techno, industrial, EBM, electro, and other sources from the history of electronic music. His quality selection of deep cuts within dark electronic are unparalleled - and is also a treat to have him at Fascination!

Mistress McCutchan (she/they - Toronto/ Prophecy)

One of Toronto's most established gothic icons - a DJ who cut her teeth in New York City at the legendary club Mother in the late 90s!

While she began with dark ambient and ethereal sounds, she plays a range of tunes in a range of genres favouring goth, postpunk, deathrock, and darkwave. She has spun in multiple cities in the US, Canada, and the UK.

Her current party, Prophecy, takes place both in person and on Twitch with her DJ partner, The Wasteland. If you want to hear the best in new gothic music that will get you swaying, you won't want to miss it!

In addition to DJing, she and The Wasteland also have a podcast called It's Midnight Somewhere. Be sure to look it up!

Mistress McCutchan also owns the clothing line Kaufen Apparel, with its signature "Goth is Political" shirt and makes some killer gothic jewellery.

Independent Multi Genre Solo Artist. Sam Astaroth's music diabolically infuses elements of Phonk & Trap Metal with sporadic Industrial & Gothic undertones, overlaid with Scream Rap, Blackend Deathcore vocals, creating my unique brand of sound I call Demoncore.

Sam Astaroth's inhumane vocal savagery explores the modern dynamic cross-genre realm. Diverse influences from Ghostemane, Corpse, Scarlxrd to $uicideboy$, Ho99o9, Ic3peak to Kim Dracula, Slipknot, Mayhem combine to bring forth a sinister original experience.

Check out my weekly new solo and collab drops with the likes of Oni Inc., Sadzilla, Vitamjn, B-Train, Chipbagov, MVKO, Shush, etc. and catch me on tour in the US this October 20-21st with Oni Inc. Ak3k, Pranav.wav and many others in New Mexico and Texas.
