Action Adventure World: The project of Duane “8Bit Duane” Zuwala, a rapper and beatsmith based in Flint, Michigan. Drawing on influences from the punk and metal genres of music, Duane fuses these with both hip hop, and video game music to create the sounds of Action Adventure World. The songs are primarily recreations of Video Games in both composition and lyrical content, the listener being taken on a nostalgia fueled journey to the “Action Adventure” worlds of their youth.
8Bit Duane also writes music and stars in his own video game series “Action Adventure World: The Game”. Both releases are available at www.actionadventureworld-game.com.
LiL iFFy: Knoxville TN/s very own, the greatest wizard rapper alive. In 6 quick months, LiL iFFy has cast a spell over hearts and asses at home and across the country. Backed by his giant hype crew, Dude Source, and DJ Tom Ato, iFFy has already merk’d national audiences, the CMJ music marathon, and is enjoying major excitement from media, thefantasy set, the hip-hop set, the indie/DIY set and from scores of Harry Potter enthusiasts about his debut album WANDCORE (Magic Hu$tle Entertainment). Swimming in bass, lasers, magic (Dude Source features Magician Victor Agreda), fantastic jewelry/costumes, a blitz of Wizarding references integrated into a choke-you-to-death rap flow and enough weird swagger to lift the building up off the ground….you are unlikely to see a show like this again in your life. This is your chance. Mischief is about to get unmanageable. Wands out.

Young Shinobi (Or ‘lil baby ninja, as he was called) was climbing onto the counterwhen he was bitten by a radioactive rapper, bestowing him with near-human rapping potential. He has been rapping
for audiences of indeterminate social status, demeanor, age and upbringing for what seems like a god-damn century.

 Gavin Goszka: Gavin may be best known as one half of the bestselling gothic horror soundtrack outfit Midnight Syndicate, but he is also an avid fan of anime music and has been a musical guest at conventions throughout the Midwest, including GenCon Indy and Cincinnati’s A&G Ohio. Formally trained in both piano and voice, he discovered anime music mainly through internet radio and quickly became hooked, finding that many of the songs he loved to listen to were equally enjoyable and challenging to play. Gradually picking up the Japanese language along the way, he began performing the material live as a way of sharing his appreciation of it with a wider audience.Gavin has been playing, writing and recording music since age seven, and has been doing solo acoustic shows for the past 10 years. In addition to performing acoustic and semi-acoustic renditions of popular anime songs, he will also be celebrating Midnight Syndicate’s 13th Anniversary with an informative panel and Q&A session, and will be on-hand for a screening of The Dead Matter movie. His latest project is an all-original English-language album featuring vocaloid Megurine Luka – for more details, please visit: http://www.homecirclemedia.com.
StarF: Submerged in the Minneapolis, Minnesota music scene (yes, it exists!), StarF is as much of an artist as he is a fan of Hip Hop. After writing lyrics for years and realizing he needed to find a way to transmute his words into song, he began his journey into rapping around April of 2006. After years of hard work and improvement, he finally found his way to Scrub Club, which was not just another record label, but a collection of people who he could relate to and call his family. Raised by internet culture and obsessed with music, StarF blends a mixture of poetics and edgy humor into everything he produces. Every new projectis approached as the beginning of something that will better himself rather than a means to an end, and as so, StarF is consistently progressing and leveling up withinthe Nerdcore community. While socially awkward to a noticeable degree, StarF still loves everyone in the community he meets. Despite any awkwardness, he will never hesitate to grab a mic and rock it for a crowd.
