Mike panic
Producer and DJ Mike Panic has been making a name for himself in the Edmonton, AB Psytrance community since his debut in 2019. His many performances at local clubs and events, including coveted opening slots for artists such as Infected Mushroom and Jordan Suckley, and BenSolo have helped him establish himself as a notable personality in the local scene.
His infectious excitement and passion for the genre are evident in his energetic and dynamic DJ sets. During 2020 and early 2021, Mike turned to live streaming on Twitch to stay connected with fans and grow his audience. He played sets for a number of international Psytrance organizations, gaining friends and followers across the globe. His dynamic, driving, yet accessible progressive beats, set him apart from many other Psytrance Twitch streamers. In late 2021, Mike returned to the stage and has kept busy performing at festivals such as "Awakening of the Lotus," "Synesthesia," and "Inter.Sect." His passion and talent behind the decks continue to captivate audiences and establish him as a rising star in the local Edmonton scene. Background: Originally starting his music career in the EBM/Industrial scene, Mike Panic eventually made the switch to more mainstream, but always gritty, electronic genres, all of which have heavily influenced his style in electronic music today. Mike was nominated for an Edmonton Music Award for his electro single ‘Tesla’ in 2013. The following year he took over live synthesizer duties with Edmonton Industrial locals Sangsara for a number of years before dedicating himself to Progressive Psytrance full time in 2019. With the dynamic range of music throughout his journey, it’s hard to anticipate where he will take his music next.

L'omelette
Dynamic art rock outfit L'omelette blends and bends genres of music in their eclectic songwriting - they've proudly evaded description since the band's inception. The group delights in immersing participants in the joy, emotional texture and cohesiveness that comes with blending music and visuals. Commonly seen draping their instruments with feather boas and flowers, their vision is firstly to pass positive energy onto others. Their vibrant, heady, progressive sound has been winning over hearts in their hometown of Calgary, Alberta for years. Frontwoman Megs Benedict performs mesmerizing, jazzy vocal melodies with precise ferocity while her barefoot band keeps the dance floor full.
Their debut full length album 'you are here', released November 2022, is a collection of emotionally and rhythmically-charged songs about the triumphs and challenges of being an artist and human. Born from a need to escape, the record was a reason to think and create together - a use for all the useless overthinking. The songs speak of the destructiveness of civilization. The restless monkey mind. Our connection to the infinite love and energy of the universe. How others' perception shapes our reality. And of course, lousy men.

Green wing
Lockdowns matched with the harsh Saskatchewan winter, while also finding sanity through collaborating on a collection of songs and the hopes of one day returning too stages and touring.. “Late Bloomer” leans heavily on driving rhythms and pop-laden hooks, reminiscent of the punk and post-rock they grew up listening to while incorporating themes of self-reflection, grief, and a newfound sense of self.
Once lockdowns lifted, GreenWing quickly made a name for themselves with tour dates that featured their signature singalong hooks, infectious driving energy, and chaotic stage presence. In short order - the band was enlisted for opening gigs for the likes of Three Days Grace & Reign wolf, which garnered multiple nominations and landed themselves on multiple "Best Of" lists. 2023 the band has begun to write a sophomore release as well as returning to the road with Canadian tour dates and festival appearances in support of "Late Bloomer".

Kaeley jade
A vibrant presence with a voice like velvet, Edmonton-based indie folk singer/songwriter Kaeley Jade weaves lush imagery and hooky melodic lines to craft music that is both poignant and playful. A Summer Solstice Indigenous Music Award nominee, her music has received radio play across North America, and her song “Painless” climbed to the #1 spot on the charts of the Indigenous Music Countdown. Her music has been featured in publications from around the globe, on editorial playlists across streaming giants, and in several film and television productions, including Sportsnet’s Hockey Night in Canada. An alumnus of RBCxMusic’s First Up Series and Manitoba Music’s Indigenous Music Residency, she has performed on stages across Canada including BreakOut West, World Music Week, Taste of Edmonton, and the Tkaronto Music Festival, and has opened for artists that include Preston Pablo, Digging Roots, and GRAMMY-winner Bill “Birdsong” Miller. Kaeley possesses an impressive ability to move from ballads to bops with ease, and there is an authentic and grounded quality to her stage presence that creates an experience that is both electric and evocative whether she is performing an acoustic set or alongside her five-piece backing band (Gabriel Gagnon on guitar, Katie Demuynck on piano, Kelsey Wood on bass, and Jordan Poirier on drums, with all members singing harmonies). A multidisciplinary artist, Kaeley recently joined forces with playwright Trevor Schmidt at Northern Light Theatre to write the critically acclaimed folk musical Two-Headed/Half-Hearted, which saw its worldwide premiere in April 2022. Reminiscent of artists like The Lumineers, Noah Kahan and Maggie Rogers, Kaeley’s debut LP, Turpentine, is available now.
