Silona – ‘Goodbye Friend’
About Silona
“Silona” in Hebrew means a water jet, something extremely powerful – like a geyser. just as rare as the the natural phenomenon, to name your child with this name is quite unordinary in the Hebrew language. Not a day goes by without getting asked about my name, where I am from and what on earth my parents’ thoughts were when they named me such a bizarre name as Silona. I lived my entire life not belonging to any place. I am an eternal foreigner in every frame of land I lay grounds on. When the right conditions in nature meet, a geyser bursts into the air and discharges turbulent steam and water. When Silona sings a geyser bursts out from within her. Though her vocals are soft, soulful and airy, they shoot fierce right into her listeners emotions.

No DMs – ‘Gorilla’
About No DMs
No DMs is an electronic music duo comprised of David Stouck and Matt Alioto. The duo met right after graduating college at Warner Music Group where David worked in Revenue Assurance and Matt in College Marketing. After a few jam sessions, they started to find a real sound fusing Hip-Hop percussion, ambient guitar riffs, chopped & screwed vocal samples, heavy bass lines, and a range of electronic effects. With early sync pickups of demos from “SupChina” for their weekly YouTube videos, No DMs was formed. At a pivotal point in their careers, both members embarked on new independent journeys (David moved to Hong Kong for a position with Warner Music Asia and Matt joined Artists Den Entertainment). After four years of collaboration, the self-titled debut was finally ready for the public and is scheduled for release on March 6, 2020.

Forces – ‘Step In A Sway’
About Forces
The name ‘Forces’ implies a literal “joining of forces” between Dave and I, each contributing our power into doing the thing we love to do most: making music, together. But, it’s also rooted in our love of joining forces with our musical community, and our passion for creating experiences for our friends to play and perform together.
Forces became a thing in 2017 after we closed the book on a whirlwind decade of recording and touring with our former band, The Golden Dogs. That trip took us all over the world and we had the privilege to support great artists; biggies like Sloan, Feist, Bloc Party, Libertines, Kaiser Chiefs, Thurston Moore and even the late great Roky Erickson (twice!). One thing that still astounds us is the number of amazingly talented people who grew through our band who continue to do great things and are still our dearest friends: members of Zeus, Taylor Knox, Wax Atlantic, and Brave Shores, to name a few. All of these musicians, including Dave and I, cut their rock teeth in the Golden Dogs.
