Chicago’s electronic rock stalwarts Future Rock continue to pound out pulsating beats with the verocity of a 70's era rock band. Outside of hometown Chicago, they may be best known for high profile and excellent remixes of Daft Punk, Neon Indian, Black Moth Super Rainbow and DFA 1979. Back home they are justly celebrated for legendary performances such as their set at Wicker Park Fest that turned the entire neighborhood into a vast and energized dance floor, forcing even the palest and most resolutely hard-to-impress hipsters to call up their inner dance monsters. Live performances combine loops, samples and Mickey Kellerman's keyboards with Darren Heitz's drums plus Felix Moreno's Larry Graham-style bass slapping to create an enormously powerful groove. Their light show is as good as their music, and their set have been known to inspire dance frenzies.

Zomboy came crashing head first into 2016 with the game changing single ‘Like A B*tch'. Taken from his hotly anticipated Neon Grave EP, the track became the go-to set opener for the likes of Skrillex, DJ Snake and almost every bass DJ at Ultra 2016.  

While the EP Crushed the charts, the 'Neon Grave' tour saw Zomboy sell out venues all over North America and has set the tone for an incredible 2016 for the producer.
 
Never one for slowing down, he's since remixed the Chainsmokers' huge crossover hit ‘Don’t Let Me Down’, and has embarked on his annual festival run, destroying crowds one by one with his inimitable energy and stage presence

Tucked away in the coastal forests of Vancouver Island Agent Hooper has brining pumping fists along with smiles to dance floors for more than a decade. 
He inherited his first turntable from his grandfather at the age of four, and quickly started loving music of all genres.  In the 90's Agent Hooper was deep into the alternative grunge movement, he relocated to Vancouver at the end of the 90's and found himself frequenting the underground raves of the time. This opened the door to a whole new side of Agent Hooper that was about to be unleashed. It was at this time that Agent Hooper was truly born. He quickly grew a fascination of mirror balls and lighting, and as time went on his needs grew for quality lighting and exceptional sound at every event.  You know if Agent Hooper is part of any event that he is going to contribute a certain level of impressiveness, whether it's his music, lighting or adjustments to the sound system.  Over the years Agent Hooper as moved threw a few different genres of music before settling in to his own style of minimal tech house that he likes to call TechYes.  Agent Hooper has found his way to the Comox Valley and has been a part for the Mushroom Manor collective for the past ten years. During this time in the Valley he has been a big part of the coastal underground scene, Having played the past few Diversity festivals and countless other smaller festivals and club events, Agent Hooper has become a staple of this tight knit coastal community.  His biggest desire when Agent Hooper is at an event is that everyone is moving with a big smiles on their faces.
