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.

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.
