Spanish DJ, producer and house music tastemaker Dosem brings us 'Answer' featuring Korean-American artist SOHMI.

With a career spanning over 15 years, Marc Dosem released his debut album 'Parallel' in 2011 on former Hong Kong imprint Sino and first teamed up with Anjunadeep in 2018 on two-track single 'Not A Coincidence / Why Give Up Before We Try'. Known for his club anthems that have soundtracked late nights and early mornings on dancefloors around the world, Dosem has released on Toolroom, Armada, Purified and his own label Houstrike, alongside delivering remixes for the likes of Hot Since 82, Above & Beyond and Eli & Fur. He is also well known for his 2021 collaboration with Tinlicker, 'Hypnotised', which has racked up over 10 million streams across all platforms.

An artist who's always in demand, Dosem has already completed headline tours in Australia and the USA this year, and has recently played in London, Tokyo and his hometown of Girona. Alongside these appearances, Marc has appeared on festival stages at Ultra Miami, Sónar Festival, SXM Festival and Tomorrowland, and been supported by Boiler Room, who aired his set from Girona's Museu d'Arqueologia de Catalunya all the way back in 2017.

In the four years since his previous artist album 'Dream Decoder', Dosem has continued to finesse his signature blend of progressive and deep house designed to get people moving and bring crowds of like-minded music lovers together.

His new album, 'Desire', is heavily influenced by '90s progressive house and techno, and reflects their euphoric, deep, and atmospheric qualities through a modern lens. Across its twelve tracks, the LP explores themes of community, connection, and passion.

"'Desire' is my homage to and vision of progressive house, a genre that had a significant impact on me when I first started listening to electronic music. It is a return to my roots through an album that captures the experience of falling in love on a dancefloor, during the sunset of an eternal summer, where the rhythm grows like a wave until it reaches a climax of escapist euphoria; that magical moment of connection with oneself and with others. An album that blends emotion, rhythm, and passion. Desire is an emotion that contains those ingredients and is something profoundly human that moves us and drives us to act, an eternal vital rhythm that resonates with dance. A constant pulse that grows until it manifests a dream." - Marc Dosem

On first single 'Answer', Dosem pair's SOHMI's catchy vocal topline with a hard hitting bassline that would fit on a variety of dancefloors; the type of versatile production that showcases why he's been supported by artists as diverse as Hot Since 82, Gorgon City, and Adam Beyer. Other standouts include 'Ethernal', a collaboration with Anjunadeep favourite HANA on vocals, and high-energy club track 'Tranced House', which sit alongside deeper cuts including 'Cold Shores' featuring Carla Werner, 'Unjetlag' and 'Sensations'.

Born and raised in the snowy city of Sapporo, Japan, and now residing in Austin, Texas, Qrion takes inspiration from the robust environments at her whim. Melancholic, wistful, and dancefloor-minded, Qrion’s sound is multi-layered in its approach. Ranging from supple, soft exploratory works to driving house, and soul-sampling groovers, her touch is light and playful – evoking memories and feelings through sound. From her long-running relationship with Anjunadeep to her remixes for the likes of Booka Shade, Röyksopp, CRi, and more, her productions have drawn acclaim across dance floors globally.

There’s a reason why she was named on Forbes Japan’s 30 Under 30 list: since the inception of her musical career, Qrion has become a staple on revered labels such as Anjunadeep, Last Night On Earth, Mad Decent, Ultra Music, and more. Her one-of-a-kind style has garnered support from BBC Radio 1’s Danny Howard, and Pete Tong, and industry figures Anna Lunoe, Mall Grab, Todd Edwards, and Lane 8. Now, Qrion sets out on her second album tour “Under The Same Sky” across North America from January through March 2025.

LEFT LANE CRUISER & 20 WATT TOMBSTONE MATINEE

MATINEE SHOW

LEFT LANE CRUISER
This Ft. Wayne Indiana duo has been making their own brand of music, blowing out eardrums since 2004.
Specializing in a raw hillbilly punk-blues style that roars like a tweaking modal chain saw, Left Lane Cruiser is a band led by slide guitarist Frederick "Joe" Evans IV. Their music has the swampy feel of North Mississippi hill country blues à la Junior Kimbrough and R.L. Burnside, with a good dose of snarling garage punk tossed into the mix.
Ten albums and 20 years later the band is better than ever and electrifying audiences everywhere they go. Armed with PBR and loud THC soaked riffs, Left Lane cruiser has proven they are here to stay.
Listen here:
https://youtu.be/4NFMjqyPJC0?si=YNrMuikapCKe1T7t

20 WATT TOMBSTONE:
Hailing from Wausau, Wisconsin, this rock duo's fuzzed out guitar licks are reminiscent of bands like Rival Sons, Clutch, or Graveyard. Making a name for themselves over the last 13 years, they pride themselves on the live show.
Best experienced loud and live, 20 Watt Tombstone recently released their third full album "The Chosen Few' independently and has plans to tour in support of it heavily in 2023 and 2024.
If you like your rock n roll two piece dirty, with extra grease, look no further.

The Chameleons (UK)

Stranger Attractions & Indy CD & Vinyl Presents

THE CHAMELEONS (Legendary UK Post Punk) -

The Chameleons are an English rock band formed in Middleton, Greater Manchester, in 1981. The Chameleons will be touring again in 2024. This marks a reunion between The Chameleons frontman Mark Burgess and guitarist Reg Smithies, who had not toured together under Chameleons name in nearly two decades until 2023's tour with The Mission UK. The band formed in Greater Manchester UK and is known as one of the genre's greatest bands.

https://www.brooklynvegan.com/the-chameleons-performing.../

THE VELDT (North Carolina) -

The Veldt is a pioneering alternative soul and shoegaze group formed in 1986 in Raleigh, North Carolina by identical twin brothers Daniel and Danny Chavis. The band took their name from a Ray Bradbury science fiction story. After signing with Capitol Records in 1989, the group went on to tour America opening for such groups as The Jesus and Mary Chain and the Cocteau Twins, whose member Robin Guthrie produced their initial recordings. Their 1994 album 'Afrodisiac' is viewed as a classic of the shoegaze genre.

In the face of war!
Oct

In the face of war!

It has been 20 years since our album Live Forever or Die Trying came out and we decided to do 3 reunion shows to celebrate! The first is at init fest in Sioux Falls South Dakota, and this is the second of the two Indianapolis shows. We are very excited about this lineup and hanging out with all of you once again!

First and foremost, this event is to raise awareness and money for the National Ataxia Foundation. Hereditary ataxia is a new disease that has only been discovered 25 years ago, and unfortunately both Ben and C.J. suffer from the inherited genetics that cause their cerebellums to slowly deteriorate (Therefore losing balance, muscle control, and speech capability. Basically we appear really drunk… Although the higher brain functions and the frontal cortex are in perfect operating condition. So this means we get to watch the prisons of our bodies crumble apart while being completely cognitively sharp inside.) Unfortunately at this time, there is no treatment and no cure. However, with your help, we can raise money (through at least a 10% donation from the ticket sales) and also raise awareness by providing information and encouraging everyone to sign up for the NAF newsletter. All in all, this is a huge challenge to our daily lives, but we only were given one life to live. And we'll be damned if we're going to roll over and take this without a fight! We will never lose our passion.

Lineup details:

The Year of the Hare (NY)
----
This band features Ryan Hopper who plays guitar for ITFOW although it is very different. Please join us and welcome this band from New York to our city! I have been told they are very very loud which will fit in black circle perfectly. They are currently working on mixing their debut album.

Everything, Now!
----
We have felt that it was only the right to have a local and active band on the show. This is one of our oldest friends and we are very excited to bring our unique styles together. We have always been a fan of doing genre diverse shows, and this will be no different. They have a new album out, and it is their best yet! I highly recommend you check it out or buy it.

*plus guest of honor
----
Keeping you guessing? While this band is confirmed, they have not been announced yet. we are very excited to bring this band to you and explain how much they mean to us. If it wasn't for this band, I am not sure that we would have ever toured or put anything out on init records (aka lfodt)

Tickets are available for presale at $25 with all the taxes and fees included.
35 tickets will be reserved for the door, day of show come out for $30.

This event is ALL AGES with children 13 and under being free. There are also accessible to get available for $15 (please let us know what special accommodations you need, there will be a special viewing area.)

Also, this event will be MC'd by our friend Max Maneater. If you have not met them yet, you are in for a real treat. One of the hardest working, DIY, humble and sweet soul possessing people you'll ever meet!

And of course, thanks to init records.
