Succubass - the alias of Jess Duran, has been a defining presence in the Pacific Northwest underground for more than a decade. A veteran DJ, curator and community builder with roots in TUF and High + Tight and residencies with The Lot Radio, Osmosis and Process PDX, she moves effortlessly between house, techno, acid, bass and beyond, pairing adventurous selections with formidable technical control.

Jackson Ryland - best known as Washington DC-based techno music producer, DJ, and label owner, has evolved into a key figure in the DC scene since 2012.

Ryland manages his new vinyl techno label, Floorspeed, and contributes to two long-running projects - Superabundance alongside Max D and Rush Plus with Jus Nowhere.
Under his JR2k alias, Ryland channels a raw and emotional style of tribal and hardgroove, blending elements of house, techno, and jungle into a potent live PA set of all drum machines and synthesizers.

Past 12" releases on Rush Hour, Peach Discs, Future Times, Fixed Rhythms, and Faith Beat have forged a clear context for plenty more of Ryland's music to come.
