Show Lineup
Mall Grab
(Newcastle, Australia)
Genre: DJ
Operating at a dangerously high frequency, Jordon Alexander aka Mall Grab is perpetually evolving, but always retaining one constant motif – raw energy.
The Australian’s rise from an exciting newcomer to a dominant force over the last six years has been impossible to ignore.
Now based in London, he’s continued from strength to strength with diverse releases on his own label Looking For Trouble, running parties, and working on new projects and music, all while keeping the axis spinning with the label he runs along with his 3 best friends, Steel City Dance Discs.
A dynamic stage presence and DJ, MG specialises in a genre-transcending infectious energy that involves the whole crowd – It’s the club in which Mall Grab does the realest damage, favouring predominately unreleased strictly-for-the-floor MG material. Best arrive ready.
Greyhound
(Milwaukee, WI)
Genre: Electronic
Greyhound is the dance floor music project of Dylan Mentzer. A Milwaukee-based DJ and producer, Greyhound has been making a name for himself in the greater Midwest techno community since 2017. Growing up on Chicago house and Detroit techno greatly influenced his sound. A love of UK bassline and Grime additionally informs his approach to producing. In 2021, Greyhound was added as a resident DJ at Milwaukee’s Club Ritual, an underground monthly founded in 2016. In 2022, Greyhound partnered with Chicago DJ Junior Kurtis to form the record label Pulaski Recreational Unit.
Asher Gray
(Milwaukee, WI)
Genre: DJ
Influenced by the classic sounds of the Chicago, Detroit and the greater midwest, Asher Gray’s music spans the spectrum of nostalgic rave, electro, spacey house and deep Chicago jack. A multi‐instrumentalist and production veteran he has released music on labels such as Nervous NYC, Grandcity Records, Disposable Commodities with two EPs, his vinyl debut XLT & tape release Shapes On Waves and a forthcoming release coming out on label Formed By Glaciers later this year. As well as producing original music Asher has been djing around the US and throwing his own monthly underground events around Milwaukee since 1998. Parties like Fresh 2 Death, Le Freak, Club Ritual, and Funky Fruit have been a staple for the electronic music community in the city and abroad. His passion for underground music and culture fuels his energetic performances bringing people together from all walks of life on one dance floor.
Angelia Word
(Chicago, IL)
Genre: DJ
Angelia Word is an interdisciplinary artist and DJ. Her artistry is heavily influenced by the rawness of lo-fi house and a propensity for the sinister. Speed is her weakness, with many mixes traveling across high BPMs and incorporating elements of nostalgia and goofiness. Her mixes are often inspired by her frustration at the systems that crush us, and her desperation for a better collective future. She has played with KYRUH & WTCHCRFT, and is co-founder of FemmeDecks, a collective and mix series which aims to celebrate and empower diverse artists with marginalized voices.
