Meet US3R, the Seattle electronic artist who is hacking pop music. The California native relocated to Downtown Seattle in 2017 and quickly began crafting his unique brand of electronic pop music. Like a combination of Justice, Daft Punk, The Weeknd, Billie Eilish, and Disclosure, his music feels familiar and boundary-pushing at the same time.

MORIS BLAK

MORIS BLAK’s debut release The Irregularity of Being redefined the sound of dark electronics when it was unleashed on the dark club scene in 2019. The project’s unique blending of cold industrial soundscapes with the beat-driven precision of modern electronic dance music was delivered with a gut-punch of a stage performance, complete with self-programmed visuals sweeping the room in a vivid blood-red.
The project’s pioneering "industrial bass music" means massive, destructive sound undergirded by an addictive, grooving beat and brutal aggression that drives club-goers to the dance floor. Cultivated over formative years spent in industrial clubs across New England, MORIS BLAK, now based in Boston, MA, fuses influences from the bass-heavy modern dance with an ominous post-apocalyptic atmosphere.

KLUTE

Claus Larsen launched this solo-project in the early 90's under the name Klute, but changed its spelling to KlutÊ in order to avoid any further confusion with a totally unrelated drum n' bass project. KlutÊ's first releases showcased a rather heavy and turbo-driven distorted sound which brought him comparisons to metal-industrial acts like Fear Factory, Bile and Swamp Terrorist, yet Claus Larsen has always considered this project as his most eclectic and unpredictable outlet. So it was no major surprise seeing its hardest walls of synthesized guitar noise eventually giving way to mid-tempo pounding tracks powered by the LeÊther Strip trademark EBM bass-lines and Claus' chameleon vocals.
