9:00 PM - RHYTHMICON
Victoria’s resident sound system selector Rhythmicon started his
record collection in the late 90’s; spending near two decades forming his unique style as a DJ and producer. Since then he has been at the core of the bass music scene on Vancouver Island; hosting club nights (notably as a major contributor to the Sub|Division series), radio shows, and collaborating with the community to build and support the scene.
Rhythmicon has shared the stage with taste makers like Zed Bias,
Mumdance, Pinch, Kahn, Sam Binga, Breakage, and Caspa. He received DJ support on his production work from the legendary Skream. His list of residencies include Lucky Bar, Hush Nightclub, and The Reef. He has been a favourite at music festivals such as Bass Coast, Ska Fest, Tall Tree, Rifflandia, Diversity and Soundwave.
Rhythmicon’s sets span across the urban underground styles of grime, dubstep, drum & bass, jungle, footwork, UK garage and funky.

Whether pushing laptops to hi freq fan whir while creating sharply
detailed and idiosyncratically arranged electronic music, or coaxing pre-dawn dance floors to lysergic meltdown with genre-agnostic & future facing dance-music, Scree Running (Matt Howells) works with the primordial matter of sound, tweaking its patterns into the DNA of audio worlds yet to condensate.Scree Running’s tracks have found homes on dance floors and radio shows worldwide, with support from platforms such as NTS, Keep Hush, Subtle Radio, and B Side Radio. With releases and remixes on Pleasure Management, a future-facing label founded in 2024 alongside Looting and Pablo Gun, and Vancouver’s NAGA label, their sound continues to expand and push towards the big
now. As a core member of ‘Victoria’s’ Resonance Collective, Scree
Running works with other like minded artists to help shape the sound and ethos of the ever present underground.
12:00 MIDNIGHT - HOT SLEEPERS LIVE
After years of collaboration across the Atlantic Ocean, Hrdvsion and efemme have finally consolidated their efforts in the same city, bringing their unique talents together face to face. The past year has seen them working tirelessly in their newly unified studio,
transforming chaos into precision. As “Hot Sleepers,” they are dedicated to crafting high energy dance music designed for the club while also sneaking deep into the corners of your mind. Their live setup is an intricate fusion of computer and modular synthesizers, producing music with a theme of focused expression, ensuring that every creation resonates with authenticity and depth.
01:00 AM - ÆNNIÆ
Ænniæ's ability to float across genres with ease, and mix together
spellbinding sounds is second-to-none. Late nights are her playground and we’re excited to have Ænniæ to close out our Saturday night again this year.
