Nativesun

https://soundcloud.com/dj-nativesun

With a near decade of experience organizing and playing parties in D.C. Nativesun balances the expertise of a seasoned, respected multi-genre artist while maintaining a constant presence and influence on the city’s electronic scene.

His eclectic and versatile knowledge of club music and reputation of blending House, Techno, Jersey, Baltimore Club, UK Funky, Footwork, Amapiano, and Jungle/Drum & Bass in the same set have led to performances at Nowadays and Dweller Fest while collaborating with a buffet of musicians including Kelela, DJ Lag, Ari Lennox and more.

In 2021, Nativesun launched the Black Rave Culture project with fellow D.C. friends Amal and James Bangura, which led to two critically-acclaimed album releases and appearances at Sustain Release, Slingshot Festival North Carolina and Boiler Room D.C. all in the same year. As a DJ known to be in multiple places at once, Nativesun remains on a mission to bring communities together, move bodies and redefine club music wherever he is.

N SO

https://soundcloud.com/n-so

Seattle-based N SO has been a part of the local underground music community since 2015. Devoted to creating a dynamic club experience that is as engaging as it is challenging, she has an affinity for thick bass lines and heavy percussion.

Her genre-spanning tastes have led to affiliations with the OMW crew, Heat Records, and TUF, and she's set the tone on shared stages with artists Machinedrum, Kastle, the Teklife crew, Suzi Analogue, Mumdance, Jimmy Edgar, and many more. She’s currently a resident DJ for local collective HousepartySEA.

Her alias stems from the Zen word ensō, a circle that is drawn in one uninhibited brushstroke to express a moment when the mind is free to let the body create. ‘N SO’ seeks to embody a feeling more than it serves as an identity.
