GARTH
(Grayhound | L.A.)

Co-founder of San Francisco’s Wicked Sound System, Garth has spent three decades fanning the flames of conscious hell-raising in California.

His sound is a unique fusion of Acid House, Space Disco & Psych Rock.

He has produced more than 60 records mostly on his own labels Grayhound, Wicked and Golden Goose. His remixes include everyone from Strafe, The Units, Tribe Called Quest, Faithless, Perry Farrell, Yabby You & Adam Freeland.

Bringing UK sound system culture to San Francisco in 1991, Wicked’s lawless full moon beach parties ushered in an era of Acid House hysteria that ripped through the west coast and spread into the heartland. In 2016 Time Out NY placed Garth and Wicked crew in the Top 10 Best House DJs Of All Time alongside Frankie Knuckles, Ron Hardy and Tony Humphries.

He stays true to the original art form playing all vinyl sets at clubs and festivals around the world.

DEREK RUSSO
(Broad Channel | Brooklyn)

Hailing from the Washington, D.C. area, Russo now resides in Brooklyn after a long stint in Colorado. Nearly 2 decades of DJing have fed into his productions starting to take shape and form in recent years. In 2020 Russo launched BROAD CHANNEL as an outlet to release his own music and perhaps others. Additional releases on Make Mistakes and Perimeter Junk showcase his sound as a producer to keep an eye on.

Known for his ability to adapt seamlessly to any type of gig, he's equally comfortable playing lower bpm, eclectic opening sets, or banging out house + techno in a dark basement, to disco + funk jams on a sunny rooftop.
