Valentina Booking Presents: 
Pod Blotz 
TALsounds
Jeremy Ray (color rot)  

Pod Blotz from Detroit began in 2002 and has released over 25 cassette and vinyl releases via labels such as L.I.E.S., Difficult Interactions, Clan Destine, Chocolate Monk, and Dungeon Taxis. Over the years the project has included a number of guest members and performance artists, but has solely remained the brainchild of Suzy Poling.  Pod Blotz  is a mix of modern electronics/ abstract techno project that explores sound texture while creating multi-dimensional environments. An otherworldly and cathartic mix of electronics, modular synthesis, vox, rhythm, syncopated noise and pulsations.  

TALsounds is Natalie Chami, a proud Canadian-born Lebanese American who adopted the TALsounds moniker in 2009 for her explorations in the drone, ambient, and improvisational disciplines. Chami has spent 15 years building an illustrious career as a solo artist, first in Chicago and most recently in the Washington D.C. area. Through her masterful synth work, operatic vocals, and nuanced sculpting of mood and atmosphere, Chami’s music strikes a balance between the extremely personal and the selflessly transportive. She spirals effortlessly through a never ending carousel of solo improvisations and collaborations with other artists, and she seems to evolve with each performance, no matter how lofty and grandiose or humble and intimate those performances may be.

Jeremy Ray (color rot) is a DC performer, artist and muti-talented musician creating sets unlike the ones before - a true explorer of sound in all forms never ceasing to conjure up a new way of expression that leaves us in awe.
