Semiratruth is constantly in motion. The Brooklyn-based, Chicago-born electronic artist travels from stage to stage, bouncing between divergent underground music scenes from the US to Guatemala to The Netherlands, synths and sampler in hand like a teleportation device. Onstage they intuitively conduct the energy in the room, seemingly syncing the audience&#8217;s collective heart rate to a universal metronome. Wielding a table of electronics, they casually tap out sonic portals to another world. Their latest record, S!M, is out now on Sooper Records.

Writer-director Julio Vincent Gambuto’s new book, <a href="https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Please-Unsubscribe-Thanks!/Julio-Vincent-Gambuto/9781668009543" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Please Unsubscribe, Thanks!</a>, is published by Simon &amp; Schuster on August 8, 2023. His 2019 debut feature, <a href="http://www.samuelgoldwynfilms.com/team-marco/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Team Marco</a>, is out now on digital. The son of a bus-driver-slash-bread-baker, &#8220;Julie&#8221; grew up in a large Italian family on Staten Island, where aunts, uncles, and cousins gathered often around Mom&#8217;s seafoam-green formica kitchen table for “cake and coffee” — always an Entenmann’s crumb cake — to tell stories, argue about the Mets, and play cards with the neighbors. He graduated Harvard with a BA in English and American Literature and Language, with honors, and completed his training as a film director at the USC School of Cinematic Arts, where he was honored as an Annenberg Fellow. In 2020, Julio continues his writing and directing work. In 2017, Julio founded <a href="https://www.meetborofive.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Boro Five</a>, an independent film and television content production company. He serves as Executive Producer of the company’s slate. Julio has written and produced film and television content for Nickelodeon, PBS, E! Entertainment, and James Franco’s Rabbit Bandini. Julio lives in New York City.
