Marottes is the alt electronic darkwave moniker of filmmaker Mike Mytnick. After a decade working in the media industry across New York and Los Angeles, Mytnick returned home to Cleveland, Ohio to create Marottes, a project born of disillusionment of the status quo and feeling stuck between two worlds. Inspired by the original outsider, the court jester, the project takes its name from the marotte, the puppet carried by jesters, and the witchy symbolism of tarot. Marottes exists as the archetype of the Fool: a person finding the courage to go on a new adventure into the unknown. Echoing the Fool’s Journey in tarot, Marottes guides lonely misfits on a path of self-discovery through analog synths, distorted vocals, and reflective lyrics. Blending dark synthpop and alternative electronic influences, his music draws from gothic allegories, the depths of Lake Erie, and the experience of navigating loneliness in a world on the edge of collapse. Marottes invites listeners to embrace introspection, transform fear into confidence, and dance unapologetically through the darkness. Live Laugh Love Scream

Sam and Matt are cousins & knob-twiddling partners in crime. They have three records that explore the intersection of melody and the avant-schmavant.

Drawing equal inspiration from Wax Trax! Records, hiNRG disco, and Prince’s Minneapolis sound, the anonymous duo makes old-school industrial funk that is fast, heavily improvised, and deeply shadowy, preferring to let their raucous music speak for itself. On June 1, 2023 Bias Selector released their first vinyl LP, “Music For Eating, Music For Prey” collecting 12 songs from their first 3 digital releases.
