EBM Worldwide

EBM Worldwide was created in August 2020, during what was previously considered the height of the pandemic. It resulted from a chance meeting between Christopher Deane (NYC\DC - Albion Batcave\Pyramid), Jay Harris, Ryan M3RK Caughron, and Mark PIPRR Coletti, (all three from Knoxville, TN) at The Concourse. EBM Worldwide aims to promote our scene DJs and align them with our fans to raise awareness of their existence and help promote\support them. As the pandemic ravaged many people's jobs, careers, and home lives, DJs in our scene have migrated to twitch (in some cases full time) to support themselves. With this in mind, EBM Worldwide has raised over $24,000 and counting for LGBTQIA+ causes, Anti-Bullying, Animal Welfare, Health crises, Eviction, and more causes - direct to members of our global goth scene since 2020.

We have a Facebook page where we advertise raid train events on twitch, sponsoring and promoting in-person events.

At Chalky’s, we believe the underground isn’t just about music—it’s about protecting those who don’t fit into the mainstream, human or feline.

____________________________________________

Chalky’s Cat Crusade is a Tampa-based Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) rescue dedicated to protecting the overlooked and often misunderstood feral and stray cats that roam the shadows.

Founded in Tampa Heights, just a short ride from the historic streets of Ybor City, Chalky’s Cat Crusade was born from the belief that every cat deserves dignity, care, and a safe place to exist. We protect the cats that live in the shadows—outcasts, survivors, and misunderstood souls… just like us.

These nocturnal creatures have become silent mascots of the underground—mysterious, resilient, and completely their own.

We trap, fix, vaccinate, ear tip and provide medical care before returning the cats to managed colonies or finding homes for those ready to leave the street for a softer life.

We’re honored to support Absolution Festival and proud to stand with a scene that makes space for the forgotten, the feral, and the fiercely loved.

Join the Crusade. Save the strays. Honor the outcasts.

The Disco Dolls
Sustainable Style from the Shadow Side

Based in the Seminole Heights neighborhood of Tampa, The Disco Dolls is a concept shop and salon blending slow fashion, curated vintage, and witchy glamour. Our clothing line is designed and sewn in-house, proving sustainability can still serve drama, darkness, and decadence.

Our salon is an extension of that ethos: a space where beauty is ritual, hair is art, and everyone is welcome. Our seasoned stylists specialize in transformative cuts and color, using sustainable products and practices. We don’t do gender pricing, we do personal magic.

We’re honored to sponsor Absolution Fest, a celebration of sound and shadow that perfectly aligns with our love for bold self-expression, moody aesthetics, and beautifully strange things.
