The Treasury, Static Ghost, CFM
Sales for this event are closed.
The Treasury (VA): The Treasury is the project of Troy Hancock of Richmond, VA. Cutting his teeth initially in the Raleigh NC punk scene, Hancock relocated to Richmond in 2018 and began to focus on experimenting with synths and drum machines. Following a revelatory Richmond show supporting EBM stalwarts Kontravoid and Lunacy, Hancock solidified his new, aggressive sound, combining a love for 1990s techno, post-punk, EBM, and Synth-punk into a unique and hard-hitting whole. A true road dog who prefers to spend his time playing live and hitting shows up and down the east coast, Hancock still somehow found the time to record his debut EP, Permanent District, featuring four new songs and an updated version of his demo track “Initialized”. DKA mainstays Anticipation and Normal Bias have each contributed a remix to the release and we here at DKA are now thrilled to present the Permanent District EP, available on cassette and digital. The Treasury fits right in alongside current DKA artists such as Semantix, Normal Bias, Comfort Cure, and Silent Em. Expect big things and lots of touring from The Treasury in 2026!
Static Ghost (Olympia, WA): Electronic Body Music / Industrial Techno. Static Ghost is the project of Travis Stanley, a multidisciplinary artist from Olympia, WA, blending the mechanical pulse of late-80s EBM with the precision of modern hardware performance. Static Ghost channels the lineage of Front 242, The Klinik, and Front Line Assembly into something distinctly physical, deliberate, and alive.
CENTRIFUGAL FORCE MACHINE (PDX): is an industrial techno project from the mind and body of Court Knight, based out of Portland, Oregon — circa 2025. CFM combines components of hard techno and 80’s industrial with lyrics pertaining to death and the desire to die. Their project is entrenched from their former career as a mortician, and the name and visceral energy both draw from that experience.
Court entered the music scene as a DJ in 2016 and quickly built a following, hosting multiple nights at some of Portland’s most recognized bars and clubs. Shortly thereafter, they co-founded the booking agency, VANTABLACK, alongside Susan Subtract of High-Functioning Flesh. Together, they have booked a range of prominent artists to play in Portland, including Panther Modern (1⁄2 of Sextile), Statiqbloom, Puerta Negra, Ces Cadaveres, Kris Baha, Kontravoid, and Un Hombre Solo, among others.
CENTRIFUGAL FORCE MACHINE released their debut album, OBJECT PERMANENCE, on May 25, 2025 via X-IMG Berlin. Since its release, the project has performed at Substance Festival in Los Angeles, CA. alongside TR/ST, ADULT., and Martin Dupont. They have also opened for Selofan and Bestial Mouths in Portland, and are set to open for QUAL and Pink Turns Blue this spring. More CFM dates are scheduled throughout 2026 and will be announced soon. Keep your eyes peeled.
* DEFINITION — A CENTRIFUGAL FORCE MACHINE is an embalming machine that
uses an electrical pump to pulsate fluids through the body — and now, they’re here to pump
industrial techno through yours.*
Let it ride.
