mintwhisper is a Portland, Oregon based dj, multi-disciplinary artist and creator of Novelty Radio. Heavily inspired by the east coast and Bay Area creative scene, Sasha experiments with a wide array of genres such as Soulful House, Jungle, Jersey club, Drum and bass, Hip Hop, and much more. Her sets emphasize on seamless blends evoking a hypnotic and effusive atmosphere.

Cosmos Dark is a performance art exploration of absurdity by musician Vaughn Kimmons (of Brown Calculus and WRK!). Through the use of off-kilter rhythms, haunting vocals and sometimes the recitation of a text message from a former partner, they invite us to befriend the shadow as a path to liberation.
