MUSIC LINEUP:
👽 Axkan (Omen Recordings) LA
Going thru the high increase of electronic music projects, we can say there is one that has have maintained the most original dark sound, creating the perfect combination of ethnic roots, noise and techno elements, we are talking about AXKAN.
Throbbing Gristle, Skinny Puppy, Plastikman, Autechre among others, have been source of inspiration to create his musical basics. As a teenager in the late 80’s, Luis Flores and Federico started assembling a project focused in Industrial music, later Jorge HM joined to create “Double Helix”, one of the most important Techno projects in Mexico.
Months later, Federico had the opportunity to live some experiences which made him conceive the idea of a different music where percussion instruments and ethnic elements were obvious, so after working sometime in both projects, Federico leaves Double Helix to create his own solo project, “Axkan”.
Short after he published multiple tracks under the label NopalBeat and had the chance to perform thru the US, Mexico, South America, Spain and Russia.
Up to this day, his sound keeps morphing, changing towards a more raw sound. Federico is still an avid collector of vintage electronic musical instruments and modular gear, with his arsenal has always been trying to create unique sounds, without trying to fall into a specific genre, without trying to make music that sell records, just having fun with noise.

👽 JR Mac (SESS1ONS // RTDF RADIO.COM // USUAL SUSPECTS) NYC
An original first-generation Brooklyn raver, JR Mac re-emerged in the NYC scene after a lengthy hiatus, igniting a DJ career in earnest as the founder of Sess1ons, an event series that emerged from the depths of New York City’s Covid nightlife apocalypse. With solitude gripping NYC and every dance music venue shuttered, JR began throwing intimate outdoor events with the simple idea of providing a space for fellow ravers to gather, interact safely and listen to dance music. Word spread and the events quickly grew, attracting throngs of partygoers to underground spots in South Brooklyn, where many famed DJs (now out of work for over a year) were eager to get involved and play to ravers re-emerging from months indoors. Sess1ons became the spark that reignited NYC’s underground party circuit following the pandemic and continues to remain a relevant force today. Since then JR Mac has continued organizing events under the Sess1ons banner and DJing in and around New York City. Favoring NYC’s signature Techno-Rave sound, JR delivers sets full of energy and danceable grooves. With a longstanding passion for underground dance music, JR Mac is showing no signs of slowing down, most recently playing and producing events in Detroit during the city’s famed Techno festival weekend for a third consecutive year.

👽 Jade Butterfly (Siren Project) NC
Jade Butterfly – Modern Tech House
Jade’s love affair with dance music started early, sparked when a friend introduced her to the dreamlike world of Robert Miles. That moment sent her digging deeper into the underground, chasing the pulse and possibility of electronic music.
When she moved to Tallahassee for college, she finally found her tribe. Local DJs took her under their wing, teaching her the craft and giving her the space to grow. Within three years, Jade was commanding dance floors across Florida, earning a residency at the legendary Firestone and sharing stages with icons like Carl Cox, Donald Glaude, and Florida heavyweights Andy Hughes and Dave London.
Life pulled her into new chapters: motherhood, family, and the kind of growth that reshapes a person. But the dance floor never stopped calling. Every return brought a deeper perspective, a sharper instinct, and a sound that evolved with her.
Today, Jade’s style reflects that journey: groove‑driven, emotionally tuned, and always aimed at the beating heart of the room. She approaches every set as a conversation - a way to share her thoughts, her energy, and her story through rhythm. No matter how her tastes shift, one thing remains constant: Jade plays with intention, connection, and the unmistakable presence of someone who truly lives for the music.

👽 The chancellor (Impulse Detroit // Scratch Pilots Lansing)
Out of the heart of Michigan comes a nasty mf on the decks. A purveyor of destruction, Brian goes through his set with the accuracy of a DJ who's been playing vinyl for years... Cause he has. When you talk about old school and the origins of Drum & Bass and Jungle you can be sure he's been paying attention the entire time and brings that experience to the stage with an intensity that's only increased since embracing digital technology. With a crate full of rare remixes and unreleased cuts, and an absolute disregard for subgenres, hold on tight for this roller coaster of organized chaos.

👽 Afruzi (Elevale) Atlanta
Based out of Atlanta, GA, Afruzi started his DJ path in 1995. His sound is influenced primarily by Enei, S.P.Y, Molecular, Amoss, Kleu, DJ Hybrid, Exile and Break. In his long-tenured time mixing, Afruzi has played alongside legends such as Kimball Collins, Alexi Delano, Dj Dara, Danny the Wildchild, Technimatic, Spectrasoul, Faust and Shortee.
His mixes always bring all the energy, utilizing his vast knowledge of both jungle and drum and bass, he seamlessly blends classics we all know and love with the newest heaters and up-and-coming sounds. Afruzi is known for taking listeners on an unrestrained journey through the many varied sub-genres of jungle and drum and bass and testing not only his limits as a selector, but the genre(s) as a whole. He can often be found "painting outside of the lines" and restrictions of any singular sound, bpm, or musical style, adding his character and own "sonic signature" that has defined his legacy.
