Manifesting superhuman force through near-magic sonic alchemy, Ho99o9 consistently breakfree from any and all creative constraints. The duo—theOGM and Yeti Bones—co-minglegenres like chemicals, mixing gloriously hellish hip-hop, basement-born hardcore,future-facingpunk, throat-slitting metal, jarring industrial, and off-kilter electronica into a concoction meantto combust the moment you press playorwhen they hit the stage. As such, the group hasquietly haunted the darkest corners of the culture, peeking out with a series of unanimouslyacclaimed releases, A-list collaborations, and sold-out tours. In 2025, they make a statementwith their third full-length album,Tomorrow We Escape,a 999 Deathkult / Last GangRecords/MNRK debut.

Everyone likes to romanticize the working class.  It’s easy to fool yourself into thinking you understand a perspective because you saw it in a netflix doc or read something from a best selling “culture” critic.  But what if you’re on the other side of that story, focused on survival, watching the world pay attention to all the wrong things, waking up each day fighting to get to the next. What if the sci-fi dystopian future happening this very minute, is your reality, and all you have is a guitar, cheap synthesizer, old computer and a tangled rusty voice? That’s the constant starting-line embraced by N8NOFACE. Originally from Tucson, N8NOFACE made his way to LA to double down on the visual, audio and live expression naturally running through his veins.  While his influences range from Suicidal Tendencies to Stones Throw compilations of minimal wave music, his sound can be uniquely classified as the past, present and future heartbeat of the real LA.  A dirty melding of 80s/90s nostalgic synthpunk combined with the amalgamation of chaos heard in grimy soundcloud rap tapes. N8NOFACE screams for those left behind, presenting the hard truth of police brutality, mental health, and the untold stories of the voiceless.  His 1-2 minute minimalist distorted dark synth movements challenge every listener to accept what the real world sounds like, and dares the complacent to be shocked out of their musical safety net of never-ending sameness.
