"Hailing from Vancouver and establishing her presence amidst the vibrant underground scenes of New York and Berlin, Bethlehem has carved her name into the fabric of electronic music. Her new persona marks a decisive turn in her career, as she sheds the identity of Venetta and embraces the raw, unfiltered spirit of Doom Pop-an evolution that takes her artistry to thrilling new heights."
"With the release of her debut EP, "Obsessions & Confessions," through her own Violation Records, Bethlehem introduces listeners to her serrated soundscape, where the industrial clashes with the glossy allure of electropop, and pop hooks twist into a euphoric chaos that never quite resolves. Written, composed, and produced entirely by Bethlehem, this four-track project is a thrilling fusion of maximalist pop, influenced by icons including Skinny Puppy, M.I.A., and the exuberant maximalism of the early 2000s."
"As a self-proclaimed "Queen of Maximalism," Bethlehem's musical journey began in her youth, glued to the screens of MTV and MuchMusic, devouring music videos with fervour. Those early days of pop obsession-Britney, Gwen Stefani, and No Doubt-are echoed in her exploration of genres that span from rave and metal to the depths of industrial soundscapes on YouTube. Now, she stands at the forefront of a new era in music, crafting bold and daring tracks that resonate with her distinct vision."
Bethlehem is a Vancouver-born electronic artist who reemerged from the DJ Venetta era with a new Doom Pop persona. She developed her presence within New York and Berlin underground scenes before founding Violation Records to release her debut EP Obsessions & Confessions. The four-track EP was written, composed, and produced entirely by Bethlehem and fuses industrial textures with glossy electropop and pop hooks that collapse into euphoric, unresolved chaos. Her sound draws on influences such as Skinny Puppy, M.I.A., and early-2000s maximalism. Childhood pop obsessions and genre-spanning explorations inform a maximalist approach, and a 2026 tour will support the EP.
