About —

DKA is Independent Electronic music label based in Atlanta, GA. Tonight they’re celebrating the new release by Meghan Dowlen with an album listen, DJ set by the artist and a set by TWINS.

Meghan Dowlen is a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and performer from Atlanta, GA. Her music guides us through the duality of femininity with both brute force and sensitivity. Her upcoming sophomore album, Dizzy Spell draws clear lines of inspiration while standing very much on its own ground. Its dance-pop sensibilities and subtle homages to new-wave strike a resonant chord for pop-lovers, glam-punkers, and music nerds alike. With theatrics emulating the likes of Kate Bush and vocal dexterities of Nina Hagen, Meghan escorts the audience along the journey into the joy, the anger, the unknown, and everything in between. Tonight she will be spinning albums that have been a source of inspiration for her. Dizzy Spell will be out on DKA records September 26th. 

TWINS (an acronym for That Which Is Not Said) is the industrial-strength synthpop, techno, and cold wave project of Atlanta-based producer, label operator, and visual artist Matt Weiner. Since founding TWINS in 2008, Weiner has spent more than a decade reveling in a moody myst that intersects seductive synth-pop, melancholic new wave, and grotesque industrial-dance grooves. With more than 15 records and hundreds of performances bearing the TWINS name coming out since 2010, Weiner has more than proved his sincerely sinister and auspiciously artful finesse of synth-based music. Operating from his home studio, arrayed with various tools of the trade, Weiner tempers his subtle scourges of sound with an unending sense of bold exploration, processing tracks of pulse-heavy aural catharsis. When performing these songs live, he brings an array of hardware to back up his flooring vocal performances, using his entire being to work the audience into a frenzied trance. When not making music as TWINS, Weiner also performs in the duo Normal Bias, the trio Split Diopter, DJs and co-runs the DKA Records record label.
