Hey! My names Brendan, better known around my area as Costella. I broke into the OH/IN/MI electronic scene around 2021 when I finally started showcasing my compositions in front of live audiences at nightclubs, bars, etc…
My style has been praised for its unique position in the world of electronic music. It doesn’t fit in with any one category, no heavy drops, not event driven, no long repetitive, bassy beats. Instead, I focus on introspective lyrics, psychedelic sampling, and super catchy melodic chorus’s. Not too mention, I don’t usually outsource for vocals.

I have dozens of singles and a few conceptual projects out and I am in the midst of a very personal project at the moment. I would absolutely love to talk more if you find this in any interest! Below are some more links to get to know me!

Despite steady gains this year, it hasn’t even come close to its November 2021 peak, and now things are about to get shaken up like a bead in a baby’s rattle w...
In Ari Aster’s 2016 short film C’est La Vie, Chester Crummings, a homeless man, speaks directly and combatively to camera about his life and society at large as he wanders the streets of LA, surviving, begging for change and casually murdering people. At one point, he says: “You know what Freud says about the nature of horror? He says it’s when the home becomes unhomelike. Unheimlich.”
