All Hallow’s Eve marks the disintegration of boundaries between the living and the dead as ghosts occupy the earth and a season of dread begins. Become one with the dead as you contort your bodies to haunted soundscapes at Gollum’s Coven, curated by Shanti and scum.eee plumb.eee of DJ duo Evanti. Commiserate with Gollum through dystopian discord as Evanti plays their most precious sonic vibrations.

A philosopher by day, DJ by night, Shanti has felt limited by words and has recognized the transcendent ability of music to express concepts, states of consciousness, and conflicting emotions. She explores philosophical themes of existential angst and ambiguity through longing lofi-ambient melodies, squishy acid beats, and foreboding, apocalyptic techno. Her sets weave the simultaneous despair and yearning that are intertwined with the human condition. Shanti plays in the DJ duo, Evanti with scum.eee plumb.eee.

When scum.eee plumb.eee moved to Chicago, he initially fell in love with the bouncy house scene like so many others. But eventually he found himself immersed in the moody sounds of dark techno as he has always gravitated more towards the darker and bleaker side of music. Never content, he is always on the search for something new that creates a rift in the cosmos. While he plays a variety of styles depending on his mood, he can’t get enough of those artists who imbue us with surrealistic frequencies and induce him in a trance-like state. Scum.eee plumb.eee is 1/2 of the Evanti DJ duo with Shanti.
