DJ TREW

Baltimore DJ duo CHRIS DEVLIN and RONNIE DARKO met back in 98 over a obsession for 80s hip-hop and scratch DJ's. Best known for being members of the amazing live act SPANK ROCK, they've also DJed with BECK and GNARLS BARKELY as well as starting the successful monthly booty-bouncing parties Baltimore Bass Connection in their hometown and Fully Fitted in NYC. Beat deconstructionist DJ / RUPTURE, whose able blending of genres and cultural elements makes for an encompassing musical mix unlike any other will be joined by beatmaker extraordinaire MATT SHADETEK. Just last week, the two innovators released Solar Life Raft via The Agriculture, a three-disc set created with a "shared appreciation for engaging with streetwise dance music from a ground-up, participatory perspective, as well as more experimental sounds."

Featuring a live performance by DanceFam Chicago.
