DJ RUSTRYU: With over 3 decades behind the decks, DJ RustRyu got their start in the DMV area in the mid 90s, then moved to RVA and were a DJ at both clubs and parties, while in college for Theatre. In 2001 there was another move, this time to Las Vegas, starting out in “locals” venues, they eventually landed their DJ collective a night on the Las Vegas strip as well as spinning for conventions including several years for groups at DefCon. 2012 saw a move to PDX where RustRyu spun at Embers, Star Theatre, and The Lovecraft (now the Coffin Club). Now they are back on the East Coast and are a resident DJ at Fallout RVA ​ Though DJ RustRyu does have a love of driving beats and all dark dance genres, what matters most to them is the crowd having a good time, and moving to the beat – with liquid transitions of their sets sure to keep the dance floor moving.

DJ SCAREYPETE: DJ Scareypete has had a lifelong love of DJing, attended broadcasting school in Madison Wisconsin before moving to Virginia in the early 00s. Pete Has been DJing in the Virginia Goth/Industrial scene since 2009 getting his start at the weekly DOOM:gloom event in Norfolk.
