Don Gordon (music & vocals) and James Mendez (music & vocals) from Data Void

DATA VOID emerged as a collaborative project between electronic music veterans Don Gordon and James Mendez, who have been acquainted for nearly three decades.

Patrick’s experimental approach to electronic music, combined with Heather’s dynamic contributions, creates a unique, haunting harmony that defies traditional genre classification.
