Elskavon is the electronic-ambient moniker of Minnesota-based musician Chris Bartels, whose sonic palette has ranged from spacious and unique drones, to sample-heavy eclectic electronic pop, to cinematic and post-rock characteristics. Intermixing studio accidents and real-life field recordings with analog synthesizers, cassette tape and vintage reel-to-reel machines, the latest album, Origins, blends spacious electronics in the realm of Tycho, Jon Hopkins, and Tourist, with songcraft akin to Bon Iver and Ólafur Arnalds.

Garnering acclaim from outlets such as HypeM and Bandcamp’s editorial teams, who describe Origins as “full of kaleidoscopic soundscapes that are joyfully danceable and optimistic,” the album acts as the start of a new era for Elskavon, one that sees itself breaking out of any and all creative walls or genre boxes.

Minnesota-based composer Jacob Pavek spent the last few year fulfilling various milestones in his career. In 2016 he opened for Jóhann Jóhannsson, an idol of his, and created an Emmy-Nominated Soundtrack to the documentary “Hello Montevideo”--all the while writing compositions that make up his Junior 2019 release," NOME". Since, he explored the edges of the Modern Classical boundaries with a new project BLOMMA, a collaboration with pianist Philip Daniel. Pavek continues to focus on new directions with his piano/strings based compositions and is now set for a new studio album release coming late-2023.

Syvers is an indie folk/lofi project fronted by Jake and Sarah Larson. Featuring a combination of live-looping and organic sampling, ambient synths and guitars flow over chilled-out beats to bring a “living room mood” to the spaces they play.
