Foreign Family Collective

Hailing from Newark, Ohio and now residing in LA, Chris Null aka obli is a musician in the truest sense of the word. Having been in bands from a young age, he moved to Los Angeles to join a group called Rooms, later meeting Sonny Moore who introduced obli to electronic music; notably the likes of Aphex Twin, Squarepusher and Autechre. Working with Sonny alongside good friend Sean, the guys toured as Sonny and the Blood Monkeys before the pair began experimenting with making music.

Moore of course went on to become Skrillex, and obli played bass in the female-fronted rock band Dead Sara for seven years – signing major label deals and touring extensively. Growing ever more inspired by artists like Caribou, Bonobo, Shlohmo and Jamie xx, in 2017 he left the band and began to work on his own music. Over the last few years he has developed his own sound whilst contining to tour with prominent acts such as Juliette Lewis, Kacy Hill and Julia Michaels. obli is set to release his debut Change EP on December 11th.

Phantoms, comprised of Los Angeles based Kyle Kaplan & Vinnie Pergola, are a live electronic act that does exactly that. Often tough to box in. …their style is best described as blurring the lines of house music & indie-dance, while retaining a pop sensibility. Incorporating distinctive synth and drum patterns, the duo have become synonymous with their ‘genre’ of alternative electronic.

Launching in 2016 with debut EP, “Broke Halo”, the duo were quickly signed to Republic / Casablanca, releasing their eponymous debut album the following year. ‘Phantoms’ featured the chart topping “Just A Feeling” (ft. Verite), clinching #1 spots on US Dance Radio for 4 straight weeks, iTunes electronic chart and sitting atop the SiriuxXM / BPM Top 20 countdown for over 8 weeks, and being named BPM’s ‘Breaker of the Year’.

2019 saw the rules of the duo’s 7-track “Disconnect” EP, which included dance chart topping single “Say It” and club focused instrumental “Designs For You”, which saw worldwide DJ support from the likes of Pete Tong, Diplo, Martin Garrix, Don Diablo, Duke Dumont and many more. The same year also saw the duo hit the road with a live sold out North American headline tour that included festival stops at Ultra Miami, Life Is Beautiful, EDC Mexico, EDC Japan, Made In America, Okeechobee, Vooddo Fest and many more.

Applauded day NPR, Billboard, Dancing Astronaut and many others, it’s clear the duo have cemented themselves as one of electronic music’s hottest live acts.
