•• DILES QUE NO ME MATEN ••
Diles Que No Me Maten is a Experimental / Psychodelic / Post-Punk / Krautrock group, originated and currently based in Mexico City.
The group was founded through the search of brothers Raul Ponce (drums) and Gerardo Ponce (guitar), while they were looking forward to forming a band in 2017. In this search, they stumbled upon bassist Andrés Lupone. Once aligned as a trio, their paths united with Guitarist Jerónimo Garcia and Lyricist/Vocalist Jonas, and finally they settled as a five-piece group.
From the anxiety and drama of a Mexican city (CDMX) overloaded with voices, tears and noise, Diles Que No Me Maten act as orchestrators and creators of symphonies of streets, avenues and structures of a metropolitan cloud that finds itself in a constant hurry.
The music of Diles Que No Me Maten is a glimpse into the intimacy of words and the song of daily routine; it’s consequences, repercussions, but also its glorious victories over an always unsettling reality where you do not know what will happen. --
Desde la ansiedad y el drama de una ciudad Mexicana (CDMX) sobrecargada de voces, lágrimas y ruido, Diles Que No Me Maten actúan como orquestadores y creadores de sinfonías de calles, avenidas, y nubes de estructuras metropolitanas que se encuentra en constante prisa.
La música de Diles Que No Me Maten es un vistazo a la intimidad de las palabras y el canto de la rutina diaria; sus consecuencias, sus repercusiones, pero también sus gloriosas victorias sobre una realidad siempre inquietante en la que no saber lo que pasará.
•• MR. SOFTHEART ••
Mr. Softheart (Des Moines, Iowa) is ‘21st Century Vision Music.’ With their heady and atmospheric blend of post-punk, 80s synth pop and dance music, the 4-piece builds an off-kilter world around lead singer Nick Fisher’s poetics of misdirection. John Fisher’s shape-shifting synth work joins with Charlie Patterson’s intricate guitars and Halen Becker’s mystical vocals to create a genre-defying experience that Little Village Magazine described as “Iowa’s greatest cinematic export.”
The group’s latest EP ‘Reflections On Primitive Action’ was released in July of 2025 and was supported with a 16-date tour of the east coast. The record was named “Best of Iowa 2025” by Iowa Public Radio, who compared it favorably to Automatic and Nation of Language. Little Village Magazine noted the band “spins a glittering web of discontent, yearning and sleazy dramatics on this six-track stunner. It’s the hottest release of the summer and arguably the most enigmatic thing to crawl out of Des Moines since… well, ever.”
Mr. Softheart released their debut album ‘Magdalene in Crisis’ in December 2023, followed by the ‘Songs for Subdued Space’ EP in July 2024. Mr. Softheart supported the EP with an east coast tour culminating in two performances at the historic Val Air Ballroom opening for Phantogram and Underoath, respectively.
