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.

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.
