MANIC FOCUS
Denver-based producer Manic Focus is an artist of many talents. As a magician, he uses sleight of hand to pull objects out of thin air. As an electronic artist, he executes similarly impossible sonic acts with his vibrant, genre-defying music. But his strengths lie not only in the musical and magical: what also makes Manic Focus stand apart is his mental triumphs.
Manic Focus’ unique style - defined by a hybrid of electronic, funk, soul, and hip-hop - has helped the producer cultivate a fervent fanbase captivated by his immersive studio trickery and vibrant creative spirit - a combination that has led him to performances at festivals such as Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Hulaween, North Coast Music Festival, High Sierra Music Festival, Camp Bisco, Wakaan Festival, Summer Camp Music Festival, and multiple opening slots at Red Rocks in support of Zhu, Emancipator, Pretty Lights, and more.
Now, coming off his 7th studio album, Never Not Blue, a new full-length project that showcases the producer’s vast growth as a multi-genre artist, including songs with the blues-infected electronic style of his earlier work as well as a wide range of modern bass music influences. Having consistently evolved over the past decade, fleshing out his sound to incorporate new approaches to genre, songwriting, and composition, Manic Focus’ new album is an amalgamation of the various styles and sounds he’s explored over the years. In many ways, Never Not Blue is a career retrospective - a look back at where Manic Focus began, and just how far he’s come.

JUWU
Residing in Raleigh, NC, Juwu has been an active member in the electronic music scene since 2012. Originally focusing on DJ performances, he has now switched his sights to making a name for himself as a producer and has been breaking charts with multiple remix and original releases over the past few years. His performance style is described as a mix of heavy and deep bass music as he blends the two styles with the atmosphere of the night.

HYSSOP
Originally from New Jersey, hyssop is a Durham-based DJ and vibration-obsessive. As a student of sound design and sonic frequencies, hyssop brings the deep bass to his dark and grime-y mixes that often border on the absurd. With a focus on Deep Dub/140, he is working to bring the cultural roots of electronic music back into the spotlight. This is music for the headnodders and low-end enthusiasts - an unapologetically heavy vibe that elevates the dancefloor.
