Xeno & Oaklander and Coatie Pop

French-Norwegian Liz Wendelbo and Maryland's Sean McBride form Xeno & Oaklander, an East Coast minimal electronic duo known for darkwave, Italo disco, and techno. Since 2004, they've released acclaimed albums on Wierd, Ghostly International, and Dais Records. Notable works include "Vigils", "Par Avion", and "Hypnos". Their innovative style blends synthesizers with conceptual art, earning commissions like the 35-piece "Movements" for French arts centers.

Tulsa-born, NYC-based duo Coatie Pop blends dream pop, post-punk, and trip-hop. Known for their debut album 'Deathbed,' their music ranges from synth dance tracks to folk ballads. Embodying chaos and order, Mrs. Watkins shines with dynamic dance energy, while Mr. Watkins helms calm electronics.
