Here's the lineup:
Bubblegum Octopus (Verona, NJ) [http://soundcloud.com/bubblegum-octopus]
Bubblegum Octopus is a frantic, progressive hybrid of bouncy, cutesy pico-pico and synth-pop, grinding and noisey freakouts, 8 and 16-bit video game style electronics, touches of dance music, and IDM/breakcore style percussion mutilation.
DJ Immolation (Cincinnati, OH) [http://www.myspace.com/djimmolation]
Gabber producer from Cincinnati, Ohio.
DJ Immolation is a reminder that raw hardcore techno is alive and well within contingents of midwest, US youth.
He will be promoting his new CD from Realicide Youth Records.
Dr. Device (Lansing, MI) [http://drdevice.bandcamp.com/]
Super technical prog-metal from Lansing.
Think Melvins meets King Crimson.
These guys are insane!
KKrusty (Chicago, IL) [http://soundcloud.com/kkrusty]
Kkrusty (Mike Taylor) began making electronic music in 2004.
After experimenting with many styles, he discovered chiptune (music made using or emulating the sounds of outdated video game and computing hardware) and began composing songs on the Nintendo GameBoy in early 2008.
His music mixes sometimes sweet, sometimes epic melodies, pounding, danceable rhythms, (not to mention the occasional 80's hair-metal cover) and never fails to turn any room into a frothing mess of nuclear gleeful madness!
Little Mack (Ann Arbor, MI) [http://soundcloud.com/little-mack]
Little Mack makes a unique blend of psychedelic breakcore and noise music and has a rather prolific catalog of releases under a number of pseudonyms, both self-released and on several of the internet's better .mp3 labels.
Expect something special!
Performance Advertising (Detroit, MI) [http://pedophobicrecords.com/media/]
Mike Burridge AKA Performance Advertising (formerly Hobert Europe) effortlessly blends the danceable with the insane.
Expect anything from j-pop and ghetto-tech on overdrive to dubstep and brain-melting breakcore.
Quite possibly all of the above!
Public Pubes (Lansing/Ann Arbor, MI) [http://www.myspace.com/publicpubes]
Male/female duo, Public Pubes makes an electro/R&B hybrid that never fails to create a bizarre dance celebration.
Don't know how to do the zombie shred?
They'll teach you!
Robert Inhuman (Cincinnati, OH) [http://www.soundcloud.com/robertinhuman]
Ex-Realicide digital hardcore/gabber punk from Cincinnati.
He runs the DIY label Realicide Youth Records.
Saskrotch (Chicago, IL) [http://soundcloud.com/saskrotch]
Musician, double label manager, and self proclaimed King of Chipbreak, Nigel Shields, AKA Saskrotch, is a lovely young man from the village of almost-Chicago.
Scissor Now! (Ann Arbor, MI) [http://www.myspace.com/scissorscissornow]
Female-fronted Ann Arbor prog/punk supergroup.
They shred!
Selector Catalogue (Ann Arbor, MI) [http://selectorcatalogue.com/]

He spends much of his time running killercore.org (breakcore distribution)
and developing the future of his label (Reject Records), playing shows and organizing them.
Terminal Girls (Detroit, MI) [http://soundcloud.com/sex-objects]
Weird, raw synth punk.
What the Neutrinos from TMNT would be listening to on their headphones.
They will be supporting their new full length album, 'Weird Lights' on FDH Records.
The Abominable Twitch (Chicago, IL [http://abominabletwitch.wordpress.com/]
The Abominable Twitch makes music out of electronics and objects recorded by other electronics. He has been doing this since 1997, and has racked up a discography of over 20 albums since his first bedroom record between 1998/1999. He currently lives and works out of a collaborative studio space on the west side of Chicago, pushing buttons, turning knobs, pointing at blinking lights, pretending to know what hes talking about, and loves every minute of it.
Yatagarasu (Huntsville, TX) [http://www.myspace.com/yatagarasu]
8bit electronic hardcore punk with breakcore cuts and dance beats that disintegrate - all produced with vintage Nintendo Entertainment Systems.
