■  DJ SKULL ■  DJ Skull can be counted as one of the strongest identities fronting the vanguard sound of Chicago’s underground. Criss-crossing Europe and the US today, the American DJ is a seasoned professional with over 30 years experience, and live show, internationally demonstrating why he remains a secret weapon in the booth. Thundering a sound that reinterprets the musical tropes of his Chi-Wax releases, Djax bombs, and funk semantics heard elsewhere (Sect, Mentha, Majestic), Skull brings a deep-rooted knowledge and command to the live realm. Not only is DJ Skull pure essence of the future sound of Chicago, but its embodiment.

■  ADRESTIA ■  Born and raised New Yorker, Adrestia began performing at the age of 4 when she enrolled in classical training classes at New York’s dance school. In 2015, she began rediscovering her natural passions through the exploration of the electronic music scene in Brooklyn.
