Panther God (Paul Gaeta) is a musician, producer, artist, and founder of Circuitree Records. His most recent LP, Golden Changes (2014, Outside Recordings) is a masterful album that synthesizes elements from hip hop, jazz, soul, and experimental electronic sounds and creates something wholly new. Panther God manifests chromatic burst of synesthetic sounds that balance the innermost workings of a mind ablaze with the deepest bodily experiences of bass and beat drops. The music is distinctively his own, but it also moves effortlessly between joy and darkness, minimalism and rich expression. Panther God lives in Asheville, NC.

DJ & Producer based in ATL

Ryan Goodling (stagename EmE), is a beatmaker, producer, sound enthusiast and dog-lover. Ryan was born and raised in Champaign, Illinois. Although extremely shy as a child, Ryan cultivated an imaginative musical world in his mind and has since transformed into one of Asheville’s most promising electronic musicians. EmE’s tracks relax the body, stimulate the mind, and calm the soul. Although his unique sounds are hard to categorize, EmE’s songs give off a psychedelic vibe and ultimately get their roots from hip-hop. His songs can be recognized by a tasteful use of old vinyl samples, wonky synth bass, and complex, off-set beats.
Ryan moved to Asheville in 2009 and began performing with other local artists a couple of years later. Since September 2011, he has been involved with the Asheville Beat Tape Collective, which is one of the best showcases of beat artists in the southeast. Ryan plays many shows with DJ/producer Samuel Paradise’s production company, Gauche Vibrations. He also recently played Activation Music Festival in Boone and opened for Thriftworks with the Left Field Experiment in Atlanta.
Ryan draws musical inspiration from his everyday life, the dream world, and memories of his childhood. Music is his passion and he lives and breathes to create the sounds in his head. EmE’s recent tracks incoporate self-recorded sounds from his environment and original synth melodies for a more personal sound. Over the summer, EmE released his first full length album, which is made up of his favorite tracks from the past two years. 

Jeremy Saude is a multi instrumentalist and producer, currently actively involved in The Ruination, Bird City Revolutionaries, The Morkestra, Weird Sin, Deku, and Seven Deadly Daggers.

“Cosmoore is bringing the harmony of the universe to the stage with his expansive sonic vibrations. It’s not an accident that his name shares so many letters with “cosmos.” Listening to his dreamy tracks is a transportive experience that leads to the astral realms. Cosmoore also draws inspiration from nature, but it’s more about pulling in the energy of Gaia rather than being influenced by a specific landscape. He takes a shamanic approach to music-making, crafting sweet sounds that invoke transcendent experiences.”
