JUSTYN MYERS – Executive Editor

He creates live visuals with analog optical feedback. His chosen axe is a hybrid acoustic/electric drum kit, riddled with drum controllers and piezoelectric triggers.

MOLDOVER – Founder
If technology and music are your life, brace yourself- Moldover is about to reformat your soul. Hailed by 700,000 YouTube viewers as “The Godfather of Controllerism”, Moldover is a new breed of music icon. Combining the charisma of a rock star, the mad genius of a basement inventor and the radical inclusiveness of the DIY internet generation, Moldover is “literally throwing away the rule book and reinventing the wheel” (Remix Magazine).
Witness his balls-to-the-wall live show at a club, experience his multiplayer music installations at a festival or pick up and play the light theremin packaging of his debut album and understand why the next paradigm for music is a one-man-brand called Moldover.
BANDESNACI – Contributor
Coming from a background of playing in metal bands and the like, Vladimir Coman-Popescu a.k.a. Bandesnaci is a multi-instrumentalist who has been studying music since the age of eight.
He’s constantly looking for new ways to enrich and diversify his music, which is the reason he took up controllerism in the first place. Hailing from Bucharest, Bandesnaci is usually turning heads with his spontaneous outdoor live performances or making videos about creating and performing electronic music.
Bandesnaci loves buttons, knobs, sound design and long walks on the beach.
PHADEDVISION – Contributor
When he’s not fist fighting Sumo wrestlers or yelling at the grass to get off of his lawn, Phadedvision spends his time elbows deep in a world of ones and zeros in search of the perfect sound. Gaining a reputation as a DJ in earlier years, he was never quite satisfied with the limits of turntables. Having since found a home in the controllerism world, he’s taken apart (and broken) many MIDI controllers and software patches in hopes that he too may find a golden ticket.
Looking to switch up the stale music scene in the Inland Empire, Phadedvision is laying the foundations for a bi-monthly warehouse mashup party.
