Rude 66
Rude 66 has been one of Holland’s premier electronic underground musicians for the last 25 years. Having played all over the world, from seedy squats to big festivals, most shows accompanied by his wife Shaunna on vocals. Live, Rude takes his studio tracks as starting points for improvised red hot workouts, loosely built around a unique mixture of sewer acid, vicious electro, dark wave and seedy Italo-disco.
Originally coming from the 1980’s Dutch noise/industrial squat scene and a longtime collaborator and high school friend of Bunker-chief Guy Tevares, Rude landed on Bunker right at the label’s beginning in 1993. Several albums of what would basically become the blueprint of the Hague’s acid sound followed. Acclaimed releases followed on other labels, from Crème Organization to Viewlexx and his current label Bordello A Parigi.
Rude still does his weekly Cosmic Overdrive radio show for I-F’s Intergalactic FM, the longest running show on the station. As a sought-after mastering engineer, he lends his sound and considerable experience to a new generation of influential vinyl labels.
Rude 66 will be gracing us with his first US live set in over a decade.
Exillon
Jay Fields aka Exillon has released his music on such labels as Frigio, Detroit Underground, Tigerbeat6, Zod Records, Puzzling Records, Terminal Dusk and Component Records and Ad Noiseam since 2003. From his roots in IDM and ambient, through his mid 2000’s acid workouts, and with his current focus of live atavistic hardware techno, his work has always stood apart from the rest. This is his first live performance in six years.
Mistress Mix & The Amber Portal
Mistress Mix is the performance name of Alaura O’Dell aka. Paula P-Orridge. O’Dell is an interdisciplinary artist: a writer, sculptor, musician and performance artist. Her career began in 1981 with the London-based avant-garde group 23 Skidoo. Between 1983-1993, she was a pivotal member of the influential British experimental video art and music collective Psychic TV, where she performed as a percussionist, sound collagist, lyricist and vocalist. She has collaborated with the visionary Dr. Timothy Leary, the writer Kathy Acker, and DJ Cheb I Sabbah. In 1995, she released her solo mystical electronic ambient album, "Sacred Dreams," on Silent Records.
The Amber Portal is a longtime friend and collaborator of O’Dell’s. Emerging from the sonic experimentation of the early 90’s, The Amber Portal has been traversing the realms of electronic music, dub, global psychedelic beats, and cosmic textures.

Spacetime Continuum & Its Own Infinite Flower
Jonah Sharp has worked under many monikers, most famously Spacetime Continuum. His pioneering work in the global ambient techno scene began in the early 90s with releases on Fax Records, Astralwerks, & his own imprint Reflective Records. Its Own Infinite Flower is the solo project of Tasho Nicolopulos consisting of noisy electronic experiments. The two began long form improvised collaborative sets for Halloween boat raves on the San Francisco Bay in 2014. These recordings became the basis of the album Empress Eyes on Reflective Records.
Nommo Ogo
Nommo Ogo is a cosmic electronics group, emerging from the harsh winters of the mid-90's Anchorage, Alaska psychedelic noise scene. The ensemble established a presence in Oakland, California in the early 2000’s and have maintained a tradition playing outdoors in the mountainous forests of the West Coast. Recorded works have been released over the years via Isolate Records, Record Label Records and Katabatik.
Dormant since 2014, this current incarnation of the project includes collaborators Identity Theft, Atlea, ⁂, Ceremonial Abyss and Squidcannon.

Lunaxix
Lunaxix is a Bay Area–based musician and core member of Katabatik. Her work explores diverse facets of electronic music, often weaving together elements of scientism, dreams, and magic. She blends her dexterous, operatic vocals with sharp lyricism in both solo projects and collaborations. In addition to her solo work, she was part of the darkwave project The Vivid and the live hardware act Marmot, alongside longtime collaborator Nezzy Idy. Lunaxix has also performed in numerous opera productions with Berkeley Chamber Opera and Verismo Opera Company.
DJ Pink.Noizzze
DJ Pink.Noizzze (fka UltraViolet) is Flora Dexter, a longtime Katabatik resident DJ and a renowned selector of the obscure and esoteric. Currently based in Olympia WA, she got her start on FM pirate radio and early 2000’s SF goth nights such as Camera Obscura. She also was one half of the dark ambient duo Accenting Shadows (alongside Barrett Clark), and was a fixture at the Katabatik Campouts and Winter Solstice Events.
Fabric of Little Wings
Fabric of little wings is the video art alias of multi-disciplinary artist Chelsea Friedman. Her work is woven from years of music, visual art, and puppetry, each medium blurring into living textures. As a performer and organizer with Katabatik since 2004, Chelsea’s practice is rooted in movement, atmosphere, and transformation, and she approaches video as an alchemical space where light, shadow, and sound all fracture and reassemble into surreal architectures. Dream-glitched analog/digital signals, VHS scars, and pixel ghosts leak through her manipulated visual static. Not a simulation , a séance.
