Justin Aulis Long is an alchemist and selector that utilizes themes of the uncanny, ritual action, and collective effervescence to create psychedelic and surreal vortexes during communal dance gatherings. By applying this combination of practices and techniques, Long is able to weave sonic narratives that exist within the liminal spaces where light meets dark. Together with Ken Zawacki, Justin is a member of Circling Vultures, a sound project that engages in post-punk behavior, and transmissions from warehouse parties past, present and beyond. Long is also a LIES recording artist, and long time resident of Smart Bar Chicago. Del Hale, better known as Miss Twink USA, is a high-energy DJ and producer from Chicago with an ear for alt-energy sonics with a larger-than-life club finish. Miss Twink USA, brings a vicious fun party poetry to the DJ booth. Since starting out in the DIY rave scene six years ago, Hale has been playing music to express themselves and find community. They are known to form space for the queer community as an integral resident member of the Rumors crew, a party and mix series founded by Chicago’s diamond Ariel Zetina and Dutchesz Gemini. Vesolo is the alias of the artist, DJ, producer and vocalist, Solo Matelau. Known for their blending of a highly contrasting selection, Vesolo creates an atmosphere unlike any other on the dance floor. Musically they draw from their extensive classical music background, bringing a new take on where widely different genres of music can unite- techno meets opera, ambient meets house, metal meets electro. Their style is packed with energy and nostalgia, often quite dark but always experimental, bringing the listener on a journey from darkness to total bliss.
