He is also the head chief of the electronic music label #FEELINGS.


POOLBOY92

Born in Plainfield, NJ from reggaeton snares and think breaks, poolboy92 was destined for the club. His grace and skill have enabled him to move through the New York Underground over the past few years like a silver panther through his native tree-lines. With support from the likes of Brenmar, Astronomar, Bot, C.Z., and forthcoming releases on #FEELINGS and Apothecary Compositions, the Piscean CDJ prince is sure to galvanize rave generations from here on in. Through his musical endeavors, poolboy92 hopes to ensue a stream of mental aqueducts towards the global awareness of Universal Abundance.


SWELTA

Swelta is Los Angeles based DJ and Producer Anthony Dean. Raised in the heat-laden gutter sound of Austin, Texas, Swelta has made a name for his assorted selection and advocacy of underground music lifestyles and culture. Though classically trained in the UK sound of Garage and Grime, Swelta’s style proves anything but streamlined: “East Coast club music, UK club music, from the heart of the Caribbean to the throws of Texas chopped and screwed, when I play, the lines are merely academic. I believe that we need to strive for diverse club experiences, for experiences that may open minds and overcome the boundaries we experience every day. Though electronic music loves its genre specificity, it’s diversity that actually mirrors our increasingly integrated social world. I guess I’m still a believer in PLUR, without all the bullshit.” Swelta is an affiliate of #FEELINGS Records and Boston’s Lifted Contingency.


COLBY DRASHER

Colby Drasher is a DJ, Event Curator and Visual Artist responsible for the award winning dance party Dont Ask Dont Tell in Boston MA. He has shared the stage with Saint Pepsi, Brenmar, Pictureplane, Le1f, Myyki Blanco, MikeQ, Boychild, Pajaritos, D'hana and many others. His sets have been described as "relentless" and tend to feature a broad range of high energy dance music. He is unafraid to get down with his audience and invite people on stage to party up close and personal.
