ILUKA is an Australian born, Los Angeles based singer/songwriter whose career has taken off over the last year with a string of viral songs that have quickly landed her a cult following. Defined by a raspy vocal and a cowgirl twang, with the addition of her signature style she is shaking up all the right elements of a uniquely crafted artistic cocktail. Raised on a farm in the Blue Mountains of Australia, ILUKA learned the craft of song and soul from her father, a skilled luthier. His handmade guitars were more than instruments—they were the foundation of her sonic journey. From the start, ILUKA has been driven by a singular vision to create music that is brave.

𝐌𝐚𝐲𝐫𝐚𝐲 is a band from Portland Oregon with Jen Folker (Dalia and Banco De Gaia) on vocals, Joe Spencer on bass, and Rob Glase on synths and beats. Mayray’s sound combines post-punk, dream pop, and electronic dance music, creating a moody yet melodic experience. Jen Folker’s haunting vocals evoke both intimacy and expansiveness, leading audiences through a spectrum of emotions.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 are a Portland three-piece post-punk/darkwave band featuring Colette on vocals, Chris on synths, and Lan on bass. Their sound sits between early post-punk minimalism and darkwave atmospheres, with stripped-down arrangements and stark vocals that cut through with atmosphere and bite.

𝐒𝐲𝐥𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐝𝐞 (pronounced sill-feed) is a synthpop duo from Portland, OR comprised of Tobias Berblinger and DJ Queen Amygdala. The name comes from the famous ballet La Sylphide, a tragic romance about a sylph (faerie creature). Inspired heavily by Italo disco, minimal wave, darkwave, Chicago house music, Giallo films, and medieval folklore, Sylphide weaves ethereal analog synths with a pulsing bass and 808 beats. This is dark dance music for bog creatures.

Matthew D. Gantt is an artist, composer, and educator based in Troy, NY. His practice focuses on sound in virtual spaces, generative systems facilitated by idiosyncratic technology, and digital production presets as sonic readymades. He worked as a studio assistant to electronics pioneer Morton Subotnick from 2016-2018, and has been an active participant in the international creative community, presenting or performing at spaces such as Pioneer Works, SAT Montreal, Issue Project Room, MUTEK Mexico, Feral File, IRCAM, ICST Zurich, and countless DIY venues and grassroots organizations.

Gantt releases music with Orange Milk and Oxtail Recordings, and has taught experimental composition and media in both institutional and DIY contexts, including Harvestworks, CUNY Brooklyn, Bard College, Sarah Lawrence, Stevens Institute of Technology, and a variety of community workshops aimed at creating equitable access to developing technologies. Gantt’s work has been featured in The Wire magazine, Pop Matters, Exclaim!, Tiny Mix Tapes, Bandcamp New and Notable and more.

Mike Nigro is an electronic musician and label operator based in Sydney, Australia (previously Brooklyn, NY and Newark, Delaware). His solo practice and collaborations draw inspiration from the minimalists, early synthesizer pioneers, and contemporary experimental underground. His work explores the spaces between musicality and noise; movement and stasis; synthetics and organics.

Virtua is an art center and art retail space at Lloyd Center Shopping Mall in Portland, Oregon. We believe that putting thought-provoking, experiential, contemporary art in publicly accessible places brings about important conversations, while having a revitalizing impact on our community.

Artworks produced by the Beautiful Unity Gymnasium, a repository for creative exercise.

6.26.26 | 5:00pm | 21+

In support of the release of their new trio record, REMAIN (on Whited Sepulchre Records), Guggenheim fellow Holland Andrews (NYC) and local avant-sound artists Methods Body (John Niekrasz & Luke Wyland) will present a propulsive evening-length performance brimming with sleight-of-hand grooves, soaring drones, microtones, and Holland’s deeply stirring vocalizations. This trio combines voice, keys, percussion, & electronics to conjure improvisation at the highest level: a radical act of love and trust. The results are an emergent, urgent, atmospheric art-pop with the power to move the heart and mind.
