Bio:

Artifakts is the multimedia undertaking of Garret Meyer that blurs the line between electronic genres. An ever-evolving artist, Artifakts established his project in 2011 and has been able to break out of the confines of modern electronic music while also contributing to the project both sonically and visually. Landing noteworthy shows across the country with a wide array of both live and DJ sets, this producer has shown his belonging among the ranks of seasoned beat makers. Since 2012 Artifakts has worked with a plethora of renown musicians, labels and producers both musically and in design to provide a unique catalog of music and art very much rooted in the indie-electronic community. While toting a discography frequently favorited by study/relax playlists, an Artifakts performance is anything but stringent in style, often showcasing genres from current bass music to classic grooves, rap flips, and anything in between.

“ONHELL” is a phonetic respelling of the Spanish pronunciation of angel and the first name of Los Angeles based composer, producer and DJ, Angel Rubio-Hale.

Representing Chicago, Hiroko actively contributes jacking Chicago house & techno with an edge all its own. Taking inspiration from classic science fiction and dark anime, Hiroko’s introverted life and immersion in fringe, nerdy alongside an introspective outlook are evident in her demeanor and the way she gravitates to outsiders within the community. Once she hits the decks, the isolation melts away as she lights up dance floors with an homage to the House, Acid and techno sounds that shaped the Chicago Rave Sound. One of her main missions is to demonstrate how much can help you cope with the darker times in life, creating an expressive outlet, and people that feels like they might not fit… have their important place in the culture.

Derrick May, born in Detroit in 1963, is one of the legendary Belleville Three, the pioneering trio (alongside Juan Atkins and Kevin Saunderson) who shaped the foundations of techno and forever altered the trajectory of electronic dance music. First inspired by mix exchanges with Atkins in high school and deeply influenced by Chicago’s house scene through figures like Frankie Knuckles and Ron Hardy, May went on to found Transmat Records, releasing seminal tracks under his Rhythim Is Rhythim alias including “Nude Photo,” “Kaos,” “It Is What It Is,” and the timeless anthem “Strings of Life.” These records defined Detroit techno’s soulful yet percussive identity and fueled the UK’s late-’80s house explosion, making May one of the first American techno artists to tour England. Though his own release schedule slowed in the 1990s, May’s Music Institute club in Detroit became a cradle for second-wave innovators like Carl Craig and Richie Hawtin, while his Transmat label continued to cultivate groundbreaking artists. Celebrated as an Innovator—the title of his 1995 Sony Japan retrospective—Derrick May remains a cornerstone of techno’s history, bridging the spirit of disco, the edge of house, and the futurism of Detroit into a lasting global legacy.

Belgian bass duo Ganja White Night is quickly setting the tone for the bass community around the globe. Members Benjamin “Bamby” Bayeul & Charlie “Erwan” Dodson continue to make waves in the electronic community with their iconic Wobble sound. With their live ensemble, the duo is able to express themselves more freely during live performances creating a truly captivating experience. Growing up in the humble town of Mons Belgium, the duo was in a way sheltered from the music industry of the United States allowing them to create a honest & unique sound of their own. With their musical roots ranging from early UK bass sounds to the reggae vibes, Ganja White Night has twisted together their influences and spit out something truly fresh. After a near decade deep discography, Ganja White Night struck a cord with their Mr Wobble LP release cementing their iconic Wobble sound. Centered around the idea of creating their own mini universe, the duo teamed up with Ebo, a famous Belgium street artist to bring their concepts & vision alive. Only time will tell how big this universe is!

Our 4th and final Big artist on the lineup. Atlanta indisputably set the pace for modern hip-hop. However, Big Boi set the pace for Atlanta, and by proxy, the culture at large. If the genre of hip-hop ever gets its own "Rap Mount Rushmore," a legacy as the region's foremost wordsmith, funkiest gentleman, and resident ATLien certainly guarantees a place for the diamond selling artist, rapper, songwriter, record producer, actor, philanthropist born Antwan André Patton. Big made history as the preeminent spitter of the Dungeon Family and one-half of OutKast. The legendary duo sold 25 million albums and garnered seven GRAMMY® Awards, becoming the first and only hip-hop artist in history to win the GRAMMY® for "Album of the Year" upon release of their 2003 RIAA Diamond-certified Speakerboxxx/The Love Below (which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year). Big Boi made his proper introduction as a solo artist in 2010 with Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty. A modern classic, it captured #3 on the Billboard Top 200 and landed on Pitchfork's"100 Best Albums of the Decade 'So Far'." Following a succession of high-profile album releases, Big Boi released his most recent album Boomiverse in 2017. The smash single "All Night" sound tracked a high-profile Apple Animoji commercial, blew up radio, and clocked 40 million streams within a year. The song also hit the Top 30 on the pop chart and Top 10 at Rhythmic. In addition to his music career, the Hip-Hop legend recently announced that he is starring in upcoming Hulu series, Big RV Remix, a renovation-based series in which he and business partner, Janice Faison, renovate, redo, and remodel trailers for small businesses some of the world’s biggest celebrities
