Meet LUVJONEZ
Luvjonez (he/his) is a Puerto Rican hip hop producer based in Portland, Oregon. He weaves a nostalgic and downtempo blend of musical influences from his cultural roots, extensive travels, and artistic experiences. His instrumental tracks combine Down South, East Coast, Pacific Northwest elements and ancestral Caribbean vibes, creating a genre-defying mix of lofi, jazzy, downtempo, and boom bap styles.
Primarily an instrumental artist, he also collaborates on singles and albums with emcee’s, vocalists, and musicians from around the world, while licensing music for podcasts and film projects with Marmoset Music. In addition to music production, he also runs A Beat Happening (@abeathappening), an all ages, free, monthly, inclusive, BIPOC and LGBTQIA2S- centered music producer and DJ showcase that is celebrating it’s 8 year anniversary in 2025.
Meet VNPRT
Vincent "VNPRT (pronounced Vanport)" Magee is a Portland-based DJ, Producer, Curator, and Student of Life. VNPRT is known for curating high-energy, genre-blurring sets that bridge underground club sounds with global dance rhythms. With a deep love for movement, community, and sonic experimentation, VNPRT brings a bold and dynamic presence to the city's nightlife.
Whether spinning late-night warehouse sets or playing for community-centered gatherings, their sound pulls from techno, house, baile funk, amapiano, and beyond—always with an ear toward liberation on the dance floor.
