DJ Even Oswald:
Evan Oswald is an organizer, dancer and DJ centered around Washtenaw County and Detroit - but primarily in the underground. Vibes really range from dark futuristic to minimal techno, deep house or retro dance. He believes music is a powerful intoxicant and emotional driver; something to be shared and enjoyed between fellow travelers.
DJ Xist:
Xist, previously known as DJ Monroe, got her start in the dance music scene as both an energetic DJ in the duo Critchlow and innovative producer of house music in the heart of Kalamazoo, Michigan 2014. After a long hiatus and a journey of self-discovery, she has re-emerged as Xist - having found the majesty and wonder of existing for the purpose of bringing a focused, elevated experience to dancers and listeners alike. Xist brings house, tech house, techno, and disco to her new home: Ann Arbor, Michigan. When she performs, you'll walk away from the dance floor with more than you had when you showed up; a natural high and your new favorite tracks, stuck on repeat in your mind.
DJ Glizz-E:
Born and raised in Michigan, Glizz-E is a rising transgender DJ bringing a fresh pulse to the Midwest’s electronic music scene. Since launching her DJ journey in 2024, she’s been turning heads with her seamless blend of house, techno, and melodic electronica — crafting soundscapes that move both body and spirit.
Drawing inspiration from visionary artists like Daft Punk, Tame Impala, Monolink, RÜFÜS DU SOL, and Skrillex, Glizz-E merges groove, emotion, and experimental rhythm into every set. Her performances are a reflection of her journey — bold, transformative, and full of energy that transcends boundaries.
DJ Ekanti:
Ekanti: Since stepping behind the decks in 1999, Ekanti has been a force in the Midwest’s electronic music scene. Raised in Kalamazoo, Michigan, Ekanti found his musical identity in the pulsating beats of Detroit techno and the soulful rhythms of Chicago house. With over two decades as a vinyl DJ, he masterfully blends old-school authenticity with modern digital innovation, creating immersive sets that resonate with both seasoned ravers and newcomers alike.
Ekanti’s artistry has taken him across Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Florida, and California, gracing festivals, underground events, and intimate venues with his distinctive sound. His performances are a testament to his deep roots in the culture, showcasing a seamless fusion of grooves that keep dance floors alive until the early hours.
In 2022, Ekanti launched Vibe UPP, a project based in Ypsilanti, Michigan, dedicated to fostering a healthy and inclusive dance culture. Through Vibe UPP, Ekanti continues to inspire a new generation of dancers and music lovers, emphasizing the transformative power of rhythm and community.
Whether commanding a warehouse party or curating vibes under open skies, Ekanti’s sets are a celebration of the timeless energy of house and techno. Prepare to lose yourself in the journey, as Ekanti brings the underground to life one beat at a time.
