DJ Dr. Unk brings two decades of passion for electronic music and high-energy performances to the decks. Originally from Miami and raised in Lakeland, Florida, he has absorbed the sounds and vibes of scenes from Florida to DC, Southern California, and even Japan.

Now based in Little Rock, Arkansas, Dr. Unk is a staple in the local EDM community, spinning at festivals, events, and underground gatherings. His sets blend deep, driving beats with an electrifying presence, always rooted in the PLUR ethos. He’s also taken his sound to the open decks of Groove Cruise in 2022 and 2025, bringing his signature style to an international audience.

Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, and deeply rooted in the gritty heartbeat of Southern nightlife, Cameron Clark of Sunset Sessions Hollywood CA is a vinyl-purist DJ with over three decades of experience behind the decks. Known for his unparalleled collection of rare records and signature blends of UK progressive house, deep trance, and Florida-style funky breakbeats, he’s a living historian of underground dance music.

His journey began with humble college parties powered by two CD players, a tape deck, and a two-channel mixer—but the true turning point came in 1995 when he fell in love with vinyl. From there, the sound of crackling grooves and booming basslines became his religion.
