James Bangura (Black Rave Culture, DC) - Timothy Smith-Bangura, known professionally as James Bangura, is a dynamic force in the dance music world, seamlessly blending house, techno, and jungle into a unique auditory experience. Originally from Washington D.C. and having lived in places like New York, Berlin, and Mexico City, James' music is a rich tapestry of the various cultures and musical styles he's absorbed over the years. From the drum & bass of his Alabama youth to the pulsating house beats introduced by his mother, a key figure in New York's '80s club scene, his tracks resonate with a deep, eclectic vibe.

Hush Hush (Chicago) - Mauricio, better known as Hush Hush, is originally from Raleigh, NC, and is currently based in Chicago, where he works behind the desk at Gramaphone Records, a renowned house music mecca for traveling DJs from around the world. He has been well-established in the underground house scene since his early lo-fi house productions, including his official remix of Flight Facilities' classic "Crave You." His catalog continues to evolve with garage-tinged house tracks, which he’s released under the alias Maudi. With an extensive collection of original tracks and remixes, he has collaborated with artists like Garrett David, who mentored him and went on to work together on the club hit "Mi Casa" for Global Swing. Mauricio's music has also been released on notable labels such as Black Angus Rough, Nurvous Records, and his very own imprint, Göd Records.

Ebony Red (Durham) - She’s the flower girl at the wedding of your soul and body, so prepare to feel your heart bloom in the glow of her rhythmic landscape. If you wanna weep and whine to Jersey, jungle, r&b remixes, and techno, come hear her licks on the dancefloor. She’s a 252 to 919, NC born and bred girly. Put your dancin' boots on and get ready for your favorite party girl.
