NiNi, a renowned musician from Taiwan, has spent over two decades mastering traditional Chinese folk instruments. In 2024, she formed a band (NiNi) that quickly made waves in the rock and metal scene. Combining the ancient sounds of the Ruan, Liuqin, and her unique electric lute, the DaoYu, with heavy metal, rock, and EDM, NiNi's performances are a groundbreaking fusion of cultures and genres. With over 2million followers online and more than 100 million views and streams on her music, her electrifying stage presence has captivated audiences worldwide, including the judges on America's Got Talent, who were left stunned by her innovative sound and dubbed her "NiNi Hendrix" & "NiNi Van Halen".

BOTCASH is an 35 year old artist, DJ and producer from Thailand and Los Angeles, renowned for his unique live sets that blend electronic beats with the rich textures of traditional Thai instruments, most notably a type of guitar called the pin. In 2022, he released his debut album, Behind the Smile, which merges dance music with live Thai elements and features collaborations with some of Thailand’s most respected artists.
BOTCASH has performed at major festivals and events throughout Asia and has embarked on international tours to showcase his original music—from festivals such as EDC Thailand and S2O Japan, touring multiple cities in the US, to recently headlining the biggest electronic music festival in Guam. He has also been invited by the Royal Thai Embassy to represent Thailand through his music at events in Washington DC, Seoul, and Fukuoka. In addition, his accolades have been recognized by major media outlets, with features and interviews in publications such as “EDM Nomad” and “EDM Maniac”. Beyond live performances, he has gained significant attention on TikTok, where he shares entertaining, music-related content with over 2 million followers.
His sets are celebrated for their originality, taking familiar songs and reimagining them with a unique Thai twist using the pin. Even his own tracks, such as “Never Fall” and “Push Back,” are filled with personal stories that resonate with audiences. BOTCASH has produced a song called “SAWASDEE,” which he uses as the finale of his live sets to honor his roots. Although the track has not yet been officially released, it’s always an unforgettable moment to hear crowds from all over the world enthusiastically shout “SAWASDEE!” back to him.

Hyperstrike
Founded in 2024 by bass-slapping juggernaut Ben “Chop Daddy” Bennett, this band doesn’t play music; they drop sonic bombs. With a shadowy past tearing through thrash titans Warbringer and Bonded by Blood, and reigning as the “Lord of the Low End” in sci-fi shredders Xoth, Bennett knew exactly what kind of beast he was building. First, he wrangled in Ilya, the shredder known as “The Claw,” an assassin with riffs sharper than steel. Then came Adon, the “Brain Lord”—a maniacal force spitting venomous truths, carrying the fire from his days in Ghost Ship Octavius and the twisted depths of Spiritual Suicide. Together, they built a soundtrack for the end of the world: songs about nuclear meltdowns, cage fighters, and kings of the slain.
The final weapon in their arsenal? Josh, a drum-detonating powerhouse known as “Goblin Hammer,” whose percussive assault forged their chaos into a relentless onslaught. Hyperstrike is a raw, unfiltered force with hearts of steel and a taste for mania. No apologies. No survivors. Just unrelenting aggression. Brace for impact—because once the trigger drops, nothing will ever be the same.
