DJ for over 30 years and longtime friend of ASE, DJ Spider has spun at every Atlanta Steampunk Expo since our conception. Currently based in Charlotte, NC, Spider has crawled into the hearts of many shows in the Southeast, including Dragon Con. While her roster includes everything from goth, industrial, synthpop, 80s/90s, dance, filk, and everything nerdy, it's her Steampunk sets that set the ballroom on fire every year. Also a skilled cosplayer, Spider fully immerses herself in the theme wherever she plays and is a self-proclaimed "Big dork." #thatdjspider Big dork. Really that tall.

A Symphony of Darkness, Valentine Wolfe performs gothic metal inspired by seances, 19th century gothic literature, and classical music. Combining the haunting soprano of Sarah Black and the bleak maelstrom of Braxton Ballew’s solo double bass, they refuse to follow any muse except their own. In addition to their gothic metal offerings, their insatiable musical curiosity has afforded them multiple opportunities to bring their signature sound to theatre productions, and have been creating live scores to silent horror classics, most notably Nosferatu and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.
