Vancouver’s Vincent Parker has an air of mad scientist about him. A self-styled musician/artist/designer, Parker is steadily amassing a tidy little back catalog of post-glitch synthetic weirdness. Inside of the cage matches that are his tracks, frizzled synths duke it out with stutter-tech breakbeat insanity, often straddling the line between kinetic dancefloor bliss & supreme headnod material. Hyphy influences pop up along with a tendency toward melancholic, serene melodic turns. All in all, the kid’s got it goin’ on & after winning Seattle’s Laptop Battle this past December (clip below), he’s primed to release a brand new full length on Run Riot Records (holla!), Prism Myst. We had a chance to chat with Parker about his process & working with Run Riot Records, one of the PNW’s most industrious independent labels.
On March 19, Parker will be at Lucky Bar along with Megasoid (!), Eames & The Big Reds for a night of dubstep, glitch-hop, lazers & everything in between in a tasty sandwich. Hope to see you there. Here’s the Facebook event.

For those unacquainted with Portland’s Gouseion, he’s been killing it for a minute now with his own meticulously crafted world of sine/saw/square electro-crunk. “Caps13″ & “Venomous Always” from his last full length Nijikon, are absolute bangers that should not be slept on. His new album Retcon is out soon & to promote it, the homies at Run Riot Records decided to unleash this smoking EP for lead off single “Let’s Crush”. The original is, yes, a BANGER, and the remixes come courtesy of Graintable, Freddy Todd, CaBfRee, Samples, Gouseion himself & sub￨div’s own Longshanks. The tunes range from head-nodder to heavy dubstep wobbler to neon lazer-bass glory.
