Complex danceable rhythms born of breakcore, techno, and pure awesome. His melodies, and designs, are expertly interwoven. You'll especially want to pay attention to his Form and Structure release, Reaction Formation, if you know whats good for you.

A mainstay of the West Coast's underground soundsystem culture, Dimentia has worked with Spaz, Katabatik, and 5flowershop crews for many years. Beginning around 2000, his music is a unique blend of electro, acid, techno and broken bass; all made and performed live on hardware gear. Down and dirty, Dimentias sound is one of a kind.
We've come to expect phenomenal track selections of dark, messy, hard-hitting bass music mixed with textures you never thought possible from this long time collaborator. Diskore is a heavy hitter in underground electronic music, wielding the hammer of years of experience and a keen ear. He' been repping for VTM since the early days and is a central component of our allies in LA, Darkmatter Soundsystem.

We may never know the identity of the man behind this prolific mask, but that has never stopped us from being in thrall with his pulsing rhythms and bass. Killx8 is a powerhouse producer who has played at dozens of Void Tactical shows. His release The Return is not to be missed.
As an artist, his critique is cutting. Harsh images sometimes contrasted with soft colors, lines, or textures, sometimes not. As a designer, and a DJ, his placement is impeccable. Deadlines brought both of these to Void Tactical Media in Full Force and was a large part of developing its visual identity in its early stages.
From the Gut co-founder, Heather has been around, transforming space and dolling out pro font-treatments, since Void was just a twinkle in our eyes. Her contributions have helped shape the basis for the current incarnation of VTM. Respect.
Deep, driving, industrial bass funk. Need I say more? You'll find them deep in the belly of exploration, tweaking machines, in the Detroit underground.

Eric has had his first archival involvement in VTM through artwork for Pulsific Planet. However, he has been a long time supporter of FTG and VTM, participating on the structural level by helping out whenever he can, from getting the word out to doing whatever grunt work is needed during a transformed space. Solid.
Eric's music show series, Ultra Mega Awesome Extreme, which has hosted many VTM artists, is in it's 7th year.
