Alex Magan, known by his artist alias Don Kon, is a 24-year-old Boston-based producer and DJ pushing his own boundary-bending blend of house and techno. His sound fuses driving, dark energy with soaring melodic layers—shaking club floors as well as locking listeners into headphone journeys.

Starting in high school, Don Kon's dedication continued by getting a bachelor's degree in music production at Elon University, regularly performing at college parties, honing his skills. After experimenting with electronic pop early on, he fully embraced the deeper, darker “Don Kon” sound in 2025.

Drawing from influences across house, melodic deep house, and techno, his productions are designed as complete journeys—explosive drops mirror his high-energy personality, while lush, emotive breakdowns reveal his introspective side. His music is both a reflection of himself and an immersive experience for listeners.

On stage, Don Kon is known for electrifying sets built on relentless four-on-the-floor grooves. He’s already brought his sound to audiences in LA, NYC, Boston, Cancun, and Puerto Vallarta, and has shared stages with major acts including Loud Luxury, Two Friends, and Noizu. With momentum building, 2025 is shaping up to be his breakout year in the global house and techno scene.

Formed in upstate New York, now based in San Francisco, YASSOU is a six piece art pop band that makes tightly composed  music with integrity. Anchored by the mesmerizing stage presence of  lead-singer Lilie Hoy, YASSOU employs unconventional song structures, shifting time signatures, and stunning video storylines.

Compared to the likes of Radiohead and FKA twigs, Billboard has recently named YASSOU a band that “should to be on your radar”, while Delusions of Adequacy called them “what the people want.”
 
Their 2013 EP “In Fits In Dreams” garnered widespread press attention. A striking collection of songs, it features the vocals of former Smashing Pumpkins’ bassist Melissa Auf Der Maur. In 2015, they released an untitled Video EP, a six song project crafted around a singular story and emotional experience. Released in an “album cycle” of single videos, NYLON pronounced the EP as “redefining the album” in our current era of digital democracy. The videos were created and co-directed by Hoy, alongside various Bay Area artists and exemplifies YASSOU’s creative allure. 
 
YASSOU premiered their first full-length composition at the Louisville Ballet this September to standing ovations. Alongside the works of Tchaikovsky and Philip Glass, their performance is part of the 2016-17 season and was accompanied by the Louisville Symphony and the ballet’s original choreography. YASSOU began 2016 opening for The National and is now filming their next video project.
 
“You fall in love with their sound, their image, and their message all at the same time” wrote Apes on Tape in a 2015 interview. Dark yet ethereal, YASSOU embodies an art that is bold, emotional, and immediate.

Yellow Weaver is an Americana duo comprised of Jackson Hughes and Hagay Haut. It is based in Philadelphia, PA.
