Sky Lar
Growing up in a family of musicians, Sky Lar was raised with the sounds of jazz and rock & roll. A drummer in a metalcore band, Sky naturally found it easy to transition into techno, finding new ways to explore percussion.
After beginning her journey behind the decks, she has only become more enthralled to share energy through vibrations. Making impressions everywhere she goes, opening for artists such as Gorgon City and playing after-hour raves in CLT.
Drawing inspiration from her experiences, she strives to share raw emotion with the listener to elicit somatic movements. Her sets represent the light and darkness this world carries, letting universal knowledge be her muse.✨
Johan Yardan
A NY to NC transplant, Johan’s style of driving techno blends tribal rhythms with evocative melodies and urban groove. Growing up in a “melting pot” had a profound effect on his style; the energy of Afro-Caribbean and Latin block parties that punctuated summer days stand out in every set. His goal is not to play the music you like, but to play the music you didn’t know you liked. He strives for perfection in every track, balancing unrelenting momentum with thought provoking atmosphere.
Surprisingly, he had no connection nor knowledge of the underground music scene in Durham, NC until attending a techno rave organized by Subtek Music in 2018. In the years that followed he's formed enduring friendships with community members and refined his signature style of driving, ethereal techno. He's had the opportunity to play and collaborate with incredible local creators and watch the scene grow and diversify, even as it weathered the pandemic. When not collaborating with groups like Dancegruv where he hosts his radio show “Abyss Sessions”, he manages his own promotion “Kinetic Audio” bringing raw, cutting-edge techno soundscapes to the Durham underground.
Marshall Jones
Marshall Jones started in mid-1999 out of Gotham Nightclub in Chapel Hill, NC during the rave era. His vast knowledge and skills in the DJ booth earned an internship with Ovum Records. 2 years later, he moved to Orlando to attend college at Full Sail University. Completing his internship at Ovum, he was personally recommended to intern at Chicago-based Large Music. His work as a promoter for Large Music led to him being considered Jeff Craven's (CEO of Large Music) right-hand man. Working with major labels, artists, and the world-famous Traxsource online music store, he also assisted in running Large Music's legendary WMC event entitled "Get Large". Ever the professional, Marshall performed superbly while hosting events and maintaining residencies in Orlando. His skills, dedication, and knowledge gained him notoriety in the Central Florida community. Always at work, Marshall DJ's nationally and internationally at events like Mi Casa Holiday, West Coast Weekender, and MoogFest. He's the Founder of "DanceGruv Radio", a global radio station which features 65 DJs from all over the world. It has gained swift notoriety amongst many in the dance music community. He continues to thrive and push himself with his team to make NC known as a place where House Music lives. In his own words, "The thing I love about House music is the fact that I am not a part of a scene, but more of a movement.
Lex Nell
A lifelong vocalist, composer and audiophile, Lex moved into the DJing sphere in 2018 after spending over a decade in the NYC art rock scene. She had a 2 year weekly residency on Brooklyn's The Face Radio and has now brought her musical passions to her new home of NC. Lex loves exploring the zones of deep, cerebral and soulful across the sonic spectrum, including deep techno, house, UK bass, garage, minimal, breaks and beyond.
