PLINI
Plini is an Australian guitarist and composer celebrated for his virtuosic yet melodic approach to progressive instrumental music. Emerging from Sydney, he first gained international attention through self-released EPs shared online, showcasing intricate guitar work blended with jazz, fusion, and metal influences. His debut album Handmade Cities (2016) was praised for its sophistication and emotional depth, earning recognition from guitar icons like Steve Vai, Joe Satriani and John Petrucci. Beyond solo work, Plini has collaborated with artists across genres and toured globally, building a reputation for blending technical mastery with expressive storytelling. He is set to release his third full-length album in early 2026.
SUNGAZER
Originally formed in Brooklyn, NY in July of 2014 by bassist Adam Neely and drummer Shawn Crowder, Sungazer has brought their unique blend of hard-hitting Jazz Fusion, 8-bit, Progressive Rock and EDM to audiences worldwide. Sungazer explores the human element of improvisation within the context of modern electronic music. Exciting, hard-hitting, and never predictable, Sungazer creates music aimed squarely ahead into the 21st century. They released their sophomore EP entitled Sungazer, Vol. 2 in 2019.
Sungazer’s debut full-length album, Perihelion explores time and the liminal spaces between jazz improvisation and modern electronic music aesthetics. The album was co-produced and mixed by Simon Grove (Plini, Protest The Hero, Intervals) and features an eclectic cast of guest musicians including Joshua de la Victoria, Hannah Sumner, Jae Soto, Tom Monda (Thank You Scientist), Shubh Saran, Jared Yee, Christian Li, Zac Zinger, Brian Plautz(Aberdeen), Brian Krock (Big Heart Machine) and the Resonance Collective.
