Karachi-born Fahad Ahmad, known as Measure Divide, emerged as a distinctive techno voice after launching his solo project in 2012. Now a key figure in Toronto’s electronic music landscape, he founded the FORMAT event series, which single-handedly revived the city's techno scene. He has performed at Berghain, Tresor, Boiler Room, Stereo and other influential venues, and through FORMAT, he has hosted and shared the stage with major artists including Jeff Mills, Luke Slater, Stef Mendesidis and Blawan. As a producer, Measure Divide designs nearly every element of each track himself. There is playfulness and experimentation in his unconventional arrangements, united by a fondness for crunch and distortion, and an unwavering attention to detail.
Mike Larry is a key figure in Montreal’s underground techno scene, known for his energetic sets and deep connection to music. A regular at Stereo Montréal, he has also performed internationally at ADE, BPM Mexico and Selectors Barcelona, sharing the stage with artists such as DVS1, Ben Klock, Freddy K and Adiel. Known for marathon sets that often run 10 to 12 hours, he blends raw, driving beats with hypnotic melodies, creating an experience that keeps the crowd engaged. Founder of the Ärder collective and Arder Records, he supports emerging techno artists while exploring his own creativity, with releases on Arder Records, Blush Recordings, NYXII and other labels.
Driven by organic and earthy elements, Xia blends breaky, metal sounds. Her genre-blending journeys from ethereal, trippy techno to melodies that embrace unexpected chaos, yet make it gentle. Is it ever too eclectic? As an emergent producer, she debuted with a track on Vel’s label Purr, introducing her dreamy, percussive, almost intimate sounds.
With a filmmaker's perspective on visual themes and narrative, Diagraf combines minimalist aesthetics and complex evolving graphics with emotive cinematic content. Keenly attuned to the sounds of the musicians and producers he works with, Diagraf often creates new content inspired by their music, working a bit like a filmmaker in reverse, as he edits his live images while the musical performance unfolds.
2OSC is an audiovisual and electronic music duo formed by Myriam Boucher and Pierre-Luc Lecours, two multidisciplinary artists based in Montreal. Together, they explore the intersection of sound and image through performances that combine musical composition, improvisation, video, and real-time technologies. Their non-representational and abstract aesthetic highlights visual and sonic textures as well as immersive landscapes that deepen the sensory and experimental dimension of the audiovisual medium.
