KONTRAVOID  Kontravoid!s masked mystique has remained for over a decade. Ever since the release of his self-titled LP in 2012, the Canadian-born, Los Angeles-based Cameron Findlay has perfected dark pop with his oeuvre that teeters between the EBM, electro and goth genres. His productions, such as 2019!s "Too Deep” and 2021!s "Faceless,” dive to the most derelict corners of foggy, strobe-lit clubs: there is no choice but to dance. But there is an uncanny softness and obvious songwriting ability to compose heart- wrenching songs that are both captivating and drenched in melancholy—2018!s "Undone” has been a fan favorite since it came out on Berlin!s Fleisch Records. Onstage, Kontravoid demands the audience!s attention with his powerful performance that balances his specific concoction of harsh beats with his signature bass line rhythmic patterns. He!s toured alongside Boy Harsher, ADULT., Drab Majesty and Hide, and has remixed the likes of Schwefelgelb and Kris Baha. Truly a man of the shadows, Kontravoid is an unparalleled fixture in the dark electronic arena. - Andi Harriman   BUZZ KULL Buzz Kull is the solo project of Sydney-based musician and producer Marc Dwyer. Since 2012, Buzz Kull has been blending elements of darkwave, EBM, and synth-pop into a sound that's dark, dissonant, and danceable. His early work, including his 2017 debut Chroma and 2018's New Kind of Cross, was defined by stripped-back production and a fascination with minimal synth textures. These records drew from early industrial and post-punk traditions, pairing drum machine-led tracks with cool, monotonous vocals and moody atmospherics. Over time, Dwyer's sound has grown harder and more precise. His 2022 album Fascination, released through Italian label Avant! Records, marked a turning point - a sleek, focused collection of dark dance tracks that channel the energy of late-'80s body music. 2026 saw the release of Deep Hate, a four-song statement of intent: relentless, cinematic, and charged with nocturnal electricity. These tracks mark Buzz Kull's most focused and ferocious work to date, a document of emotional clarity and mechanical pulse that embodies Heartworm Press's devotion to beauty, severity, and the ecstatic void. Outside of Buzz Kull, Dwyer is a frequent collaborator and remixer, working with artists across the darker ends of electronic music. He has toured extensively throughout Europe, the US, LATAM, and Asia, sharing stages with contemporaries like Cold Cave, Boy Harsher, Kontravoid, and Spike Hellis.
