2026 Special Guest

d.notive

Local Music Producer d.notive has been a staple of the Twin Cities music scene for nearly a decade. His unique style of retro-flavored dance tunes made him an early darling of the Synthwave community, championed by outlets like NewRetroWave, FiXT music, FunkyPanda, and Laserdiscs records. He has since collaborated locally with groups like Neon Nights TC, and Freeze Pop Records as a producer on the indie pop album “Popsikal.” In 2019, in partnership with other local artists, he helped found the community NitrowaveTC, which has been focused on creating growth and outreach for local electronic artists of all skill levels across the Twin Cities metro.

d.notive’s work has also been included in video games such as Socketeer and Outclass Hunter. He contributed to the soundtrack for UK Indie Film “The Summoner,” and was tapped by legendary Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss animator Vivienne “Vivziepop” Medrano to be the original singing voice for the Zoophobia character Jingle.
