g0d's mom is the collaboration of Canadian artist Bria Salmena with producer and filmmaker A. Matthews. Inspired by musical traditions rooted in Salmena's Italian heritage and the sound of Toronto's underground club scene, God's Mom reimagines Salmena's ancestral vocal traditions into a distorted portrait of the present; full of mantras, fiery assertions, and personal confessions, often explicitly regarding womanhood.

Across the duo’s selected works on As It Was Given, recorded between 2020-2024, God’s Mom expands on the short bursts of dancefloor energy from their previous EP with a more panoramic and nuanced expression. Inspired by vocal traditions rooted in her Italian heritage, Salmena packs the album full of mantras, fiery assertions, and personal confessions, often explicitly regarding womanhood. Studying the polyphonic singing in Calabrese tarantella’s, documented in recordings from the 1930’s-60s, she found that songs sung by these women from her family’s native region were especially haunting: “in almost every track it was clear that singing was the purest form of expression, singing to release energy, pass the time, mourn the dead, and even happy songs are almost unlistenable at times. They sound far more raw than any punk singer I had ever heard”.
As It Was Given is new body music that channels an old-world spirit.

Tour de force rapper, DJ, producer and visual/conceptual artist MYST MILANO can't be stopped. Myst has played shows with Lizzo, Thundercat, Chino Amobi, Ashanti and Ja Rule, LSDXOXO, and many more, amassing nearly 200 shows to date since the beginning of their career in 2016. Recognized locally not only for their performance prowess but also for digital activism with online party platform Club Quarantine in Summer 2020, Myst is as versatile as they are steadfast and unwavering, in both their beliefs and their creative output.

Production-wise, Myst tends to veer towards the primitive and steady, however changeable and vast their beat catalogue may be; as far as writing goes, Myst effortlessly bounces from the playful and giddy, to the hopeful and serene, to the deep and dangerous and back again, never skipping a beat. The only guarantee with Myst Milano's music is this: you'll never know what to expect.
