Thirty Fangs
Belgium
I started getting interest in djing around 2016, started on a $65 controller from a cheap food store
and several years later I got a Pioneer DDJ-RX. I
love including a lot of handmade mashups in my
set. I started producing music around 5 years ago on FL Studio (mostly hybrid trap stuff), released a few edits and I can now say I’ve some originals coming soon (hybrid trap, dnb and future bass). They will be in my Lifeline Virtual Festival set and I hope you’ll enjoy it overall (also made a lot of mashups and included a wide variety of genre in them, for 55 minutes.

Infinity Terminus
Tucson, Arizona
Multi-instrumentalist and turntablist Infinity Terminus started scratching records with an industrial noise act called Death by Clawhammer in 1986. It was not enjoyable for the audience, but he found it therapeutic to use noise to cancel out the existential dread. Over the intervening decades, he found himself engineering for thousands of bands, producing records for some of them, and occasionally DJing at clubs for celebrity parties. He quit the music business entirely in 2006, vowing never to return. Then Covid-19 happened, and he found himself trapped in a house with Z3RØ5um, and unable to escape, he begrudgingly agreed to do a one off B2B DJ set. Countering the heavy beats of Z3RØ5um with everything from forgotten pop hits, to mashups that shouldn’t exist, Infinity Terminus is now an elder goth playing in an EDM world.

Significant Otter
Seattle, Washington
Born in Chicago, but mostly raised right outside the city of Seattle, music has been a part of my life since a young age. It started in 5th grade when I fell in love with orchestra music. I played Viola all the way through my senior year of high school, and my fascination with instruments and music only expanded. 2015 I went to my first Rave at the Gorge for Paradiso where I was excited to see a couple of my favorite artist like Pegboard Nerds and Skrillex perform. I fell in love with the scene immediately and has been a forever safe space for myself. I always enjoyed curating music and soon found myself wanting to perform and DJ. I've been mixing and producing for about 8 years now and have only gotten more passionate as the years go by. During the pandemic is where I first found out about this wonderful event, and really appreciated the message behind the festival. I'm excited to share this experience with everyone participating and hope we can continue spreading positivity and ensure a safe where everyone feels welcomed

Subskile
England
Due to everything being hosted online in 2020, big and small producers were doing DJ livestreams and recorded sets. Subskile had never really thought about being a DJ before 2020, but due to the discovery of DJs in lockdown, he wanted to give it a try. He bought his first DJ controller in October 2020 and started mixing songs. He then decided to start producing tracks too. He also decided to create a persona just for his music which is a colourful mask that he wears for disguise like Marshmello. The name 'Subskile' was already a few years old; it was used for his gamertags and he didn't really want to make up a new name so he just stuck with it. The only problem with the name is that many people pronounce it wrong. It is pronounced 'sub-sky-el' or 'sub-skyle', whereas people say 'sub-skill'. Since Subskile started his DJ career 3 years ago, he has pursued it. First of all, he has played roughly 20 or more virtual festivals online. Furthermore, he has played a few festivals in real life and has had 3 of his tracks played on BBC Radio! He's also gained a big following on YouTube and is known for his groovy electronic beats. The colourfully masked music master is super excited to play at Lifeline Virtual Music Festival this September because the event is raising money for such a great cause. Fun fact: He played Lifeline in 2021!
