One A, also known as Gehno Aviance has been a member of the House of Aviance since 1989, which is one of longest continually active houses from the ball scene. He began DJing in 1992 where he began playing at legendary east coast parties and raves. In the early 90's he joined the Snowball Collective from NYC and DC and went on to throw some of the most-talked about underground and weekly parties in Washington DC. In 1998 he moved to San Francisco where he has continued to DJ and hone his talent. His sets incorporate deep tech, house, garage, breaks and techno into a seamless musical journey deep rooted in the past while always keeping his finger on the pulse of the future. He may even drop an original track or two. He recently started his own company-- a CBD wellness company called Cocoa Butter & Blunts. @oneamusic

Juana has been a DC staple since 2004. Bored with her humble beginnings as a bedroom DJ spinning pulsating sweaty drug-fueled disco sessions alone in her Northside Chicago efficiency, she relocated to DC where she soon began playing top underground house clubs in DC-- Red, Dragonfly, and DC Sanctuary, and lots of places somewhere down on New York Avenue. Juana began to harken on the sweet, ethereal sounds that haunted her her entire life, making original tracks that would propel her into fame almost immediately. @thatjuana

Juan Zapata has been a purveyor of house music since the late 90s, where he began crate digging and collecting records to DJ at house parties. This soon led to playing at clubs up and down the east coast as well as internationally.  Eventually his passion for music evolved into producing original tracks and producing remixes for other artists as East Coast Boogiemen alongside Ken Christensen and Team Zapata alongside his brother Hugo.  @teamzapata

Born In the City of Angels, California. Began her musical journey before she was even born. Daughter of a musically talented family, Juliet would genetically inherit the love of music. Fast forward to the mid 90’s, where Juliet's passion for music & dance, led her to LA's underground house scene. Attending legendary house clubs The Arena and Carnival, to name a few. Juliet quickly became a well known dancer in the LA underground house community. She soon found herself involved as a part of the promotions street team for one of the biggest event producers of it's time, Go Ventures, with their signature events Together as One, The Love Festival, and LA Coliseum’s Monster Massive. It is with this vast knowledge, influence, and drive, that Juliet undoubtedly took to the turntables by storm and never looked back. @julietmendoza

Bay Area-born Marc David Barrite aka Dave Aju is a reliable name for fresh and inimitable electronic music, a balancing act of deep knowledge and passion for dance music history of the past, with a fearless, forward-thinking approach to production and performance. A diverse range of influences can be heard in Aju’s unique sound - from an immersive jazz upbringing via his father, a peer of Pharaoh Sanders early on, his dedicated underground hip-hop MC years, dance floor origins at South Bay latino house clubs, techno leanings of the SF rave scene in the 90s, to even contemporary R&B/neo-soul and the outer realms of experimental post-rock and musique concrète, always imbued with a warm, handmade sonic twist and solid sense of rhythm owed to his roots as a dancer. @dave-aju
