MkX is a Boston born Los Angeles based singer‑songwriter-producer known for his high-energy performances. His music blends futuristic sounds with nostalgic ’90s–early‑2000s pop influences, and his aesthetic—both sonic and visual—is bold and distinctive. Blending elements of pop, R&B, and electronic music, MkX crafts hyper-charged anthems built for both the dance floor and the digital age. Citing influences such as Max Martin and the music of Britney Spears, Janet Jackson and The Backstreet Boys, the Berklee graduate merges glossy production, magnetic hooks, and visual innovation into a signature sound that bridges

nostalgia and next-gen flair. MkX writes and produces all his own material, combining technical mastery with a vision from which he creates a 360-multimedia installment including hand-crafted visuals and hi-tech stage effects. Breaking onto the scene in the late 2010s, MkX quickly made his mark with songs charting on Billboard, being featured on SiriusXM, MTV, in the iHeart Dunkin’ Latte Lounge and reaching over 30 million Spotify streams. In 2025, MkX delivered a career-defining performance on the main stage at WorldPride DC, where he opened for Doechii in front of more than 30,000 people.

Make way for the juggernaut a.k.a. DJ K-Swift, a formidable and highly skilled jock whose sense for impactful sound is only eclipsed by his energy and natural mixing ability that was inspired by and forged during the golden age of hip hop. It was this early sonic landscape where he reigned as a master of the “boom-bap” only to transform and customize it as his own attention grabbing form of “four-to-the-floor.” A DJ boasting vast experience around-the-world, K-Swift is a DJ who doesn’t come from a “traditional” House Music or Techno background which he embraces with humility, and which uniquely enables him to approach

and execute his sets with an open mind and a willingness to prove himself to the “underground faithful.” His drive, and dedication to DJ craft and club culture makes him a worthy ally and asset to any scene or floor-space he occupies. Frequently booked as a resident DJ at Techniche, K-Swift proved time and time again he could hold court captivating crowd after crowd with a barrage of “swift” Tech-House and bold Techno that distinguished him from other DJs.

DJ Jeffree has gained a reputation as one of the premiere “open format” DJs in the Coachella Valley area. “I believe that a great DJ has the ability to walk into a room, and classic beats with a touch of old school turntable-ism and live remixing, and by just looking at the crowd, just knowing exactly what songs, to play at exactly the right time.”

This translates into sets where he injects, all of the songs he loves, into vocal hooks and sing-a-longs with brooding bass and epic buildups with a steady foot-shuffling house beat.

A Palm Springs icon, winner of “Best DJ of the Desert” since 2022 and the actual poster child forModernism Week, MODGIRL is a music and dancing machine, celebrated for her positive energy, vintage outfits and happy, high-vibed house and disco sets.

With a 2-hour T-Dance mix on KGAY 106.5 every Sunday, she has performed at festivals, fashion shows, film premieres and Prides and has residencies at top venues, pool parties, clubs and tea dances in Palm Springs, Los Angeles and Fire Island. At Acrisure Arena, MODGIRL played the pre-show for Madonna, Janet Jackson, Cyndi Lauper, Harry Styles,

Earth Wind & Fire and others. Follow her adventures, her costume changes and her music on instagram, soundcloud and youtube at @djmodgirl.

Juan’s love affair and driving desire for music was founded in the underground in the 90s, deep in the warehouse parties in Oakland and San Francisco. His talents DJ’ing grew and he produced a wide-spectrum of dance and pool parties, shows, and festivals and he continues today. He is inspired by dj masters, Carl Cox, Derek Carter, John Aquaviva and Claude VonStroke, he learned the craft of layering tracks to tell a story and take the dance floor on an unexpected journey.

His sexy, bass driven, funky sets are influenced by electroclash, nudisko, indi-rock, breaks, and tech-house.
