DJ LINEUP

GAY MARVINE [San Francisco]

[Bath House Etiquette, Secret Mixes Fixes]

A hero of the hedonistic and savant of funky grooves. Known by hip DJs internationally for his disco-tized edits and tracks on labels Bath House Etiquette and Secret Mixes Fixes, his wild and uninhibited DJ sets have worked bodies into formless, pulsating masses around the world. Recently a featured act at the 2016 Movement Festival in Detroit, Gay Marvine preserves the sweaty, subterranean spirit of those beloved, bygone bastions of beat: The Loft and The Paradise Garage. When Gay Marvine is behind the mixer, there’s a party on the dancefloor that doesn’t let up ’til the lights come on.

D’ADHEMAR [Washington DC]

[Honcho PGH]

A product of DC and Baltimore’s 90s club scene, d’Adhemar’s DJ and promoter chops come descended from involvement with Filler, a weekly left-field electronic night he threw with sound artist Richard Chartier. Whether it’s sun-drenched disco, jackin’ house, or a journey into dark room techno, his sound has found a home through his residency at Pittsburgh’s rowdy all-nighter, HONCHO. Held at the HOT MASS after-hours club, Honcho’s monthly spectacle of beards and sweat provides an atmosphere where inhibitions are shed, reviving the role of the queer party as a keystone of dance music culture.
