@shantiism :
Shanti has made textured waves in Chicago’s techno scene with her curation of dark, sinister, and ethereal soundscapes. Enamored by the liminal dynamics of sound, she cohosts Otherworldly Ambiguity with Scum.ee –an experience that is centered around the phenomenon of existing in between and outside of pre-existing concepts and rigid categories. She is also a member of techno collective Research & Development and hosts a monthly radio show, “Liminal Radio” on WIIT 88.9 FM featuring thoughtful artists at the core of Chicago’s underground music scene.
Shanti has had the privilege of warming up and closing out dancefloors for incredibly inspirational artists such as DJ Nobu, Rrose, Polygonia, Perc, Ø [Phase], Function, Aurora Halal, Mozhgan, Lady Starlight, Black Light Smoke, Esther Dune, Zenker Brothers, Noncompliant, Xtin, and more. This past year, Shanti has expanded her surreal storytelling beyond Chicago by playing in Amsterdam, L.A., Detroit, Phoenix, and notable Midwest festivals such as Minnesota’s The Great Beyond and Madison’s Musique Électronique. In the spring of 2026, her collaboration track will be released on the upcoming Research & Development compilation.
@josh_tong_ :
Josh Tong is a classically trained artist & DJ specializing in textural, atmospheric & ethereal techno. He takes a methodical and intentional approach to his sets reflecting the ways in which classical concertos are structured and fabricated. This curious approach illustrates the harmonious flow of energy between melodic elements and atmospheric tones through deeply layering tracks creating soundscapes rather than a singular sound.
