Descending upon Los Angeles for a singular night of spectral synthesis and mechanical menace, Kontravoid and Straight Razor ignite the Regent Theater on Friday, July 25. Presented by Dark Kinetic Events, this formidable collaboration unites two essential artists within the global underground electronic sphere.
The enigmatic Kontravoid, cloaked in his signature mask, delivers piercing coldwave infused with relentless EBM rhythms. His sound fuses mechanical precision with infectious, emotionally charged synths, notably showcased on releases from esteemed labels Fleisch and Artoffact Records. Kontravoid’s performances promise a volatile alchemy of machine-driven beats and human intensity, solidifying his reputation as an underground staple.
Straight Razor, the compelling musical project of Omar Doom (known from Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds), transforms the stage into a cinematic apocalypse. Fresh from a recent European circuit, Doom brings his darkwave intensity and evocative power back to his hometown, delivering tracks from his acclaimed album, Casualty.
Enhancing this night of spectral sonics are supporting acts Meldamor, Hallows, and FEVR. Meldamor conjures ghostly, ethereal synthpop tinged with romantic despair. Her performances are uniquely intimate yet electrically charged. Hallows, Seattle’s darkwave duo, layers rich atmospheres with rhythmic synth textures, crafting a brooding tension between darkness and luminescence. FEVR unleashes potent EBM fused with abrasive techno, engineered specifically for the nocturnal rituals of the dancefloor.
Curating the evening’s relentless energy, DJs SULKFORM, ARGOT, JOSE SHUTON, and SIN DOMINA will spin tracks designed to fuel the nocturnal frenzy.
