         Meet the Artists         

Neil Frances

LA duo NEIL FRANCES is the brainchild of Australian Jordan Feller and Californian Marc Gilfry. Starting as a production duo, their demos were accidentally discovered by tastemakers like KCRW & triple j, forcing them into the spotlight. Dance-floor sociologists from the start, the pair organized a live band with bassist Greg Cham & drummer Rhythm Luna. They have sold out tours, opened for acts like Jungle, Odesza, & Unknown Mortal Orchestra, and evolved into a festival staple playing over 20 renowned festivals, including Lollapalooza & ACL. In 2024, they are confirmed for Coachella, Electric Forest & Bonnaroo.

Feller, an old-school hip-hop head and rave kid, has a gift for sonic recall and beats-based production, while singer/guitarist Gilfry writes melodies and hooks on command. The result is genre-spanning club-ready grooves with influences ranging from rave culture, funk & soul, yacht rock, & hip-hop. You will just as likely hear a sample flip as you will a guitar run through a tape machine.

Mayer Hawthorne

Before cutting Soulful Records as Mayer Hawthorne, he was spinning wax and lacing tracks as a DJ. An avid vinyl collector since childhood, Mayer has 20+ years in the DJ game, cutting his teeth with legends Peanut Butter Wolf, DJ AM, and J Rocc of the Beat Junkies. Eclectic selections, buttery smooth transitions, and top-tier showmanship are the hallmarks of a Mayer Hawthorne DJ set. The king of curation —whether analog or digital, the vibes are always immaculate.

OMNOM

Individuality is OMNOM's calling card. It's precisely what prompts him to operate not just off house music's beaten path, but so deeply within his own lane that he evades comparison and predictability. In his inability to be pinned down lies OMNOM's power. And since 2018, he's channeled it to steadily chart his course to a distinction coveted by many in dance/electronic circles but ultimately claimed by few: household name.

Over the past five years, the enigmatic producer has increasingly carved his niche in the house scene with a clear sense of mystique. This involves not just toeing the line between the underground and the mainstream, but hopping, skipping, and jumping around it. It's a matter not only of skill, but also of fluidity and agility. The result? Left-of-center, bass-fueled house maximalism.

Reggie Watts

Reggie Watts is an internationally renowned Musician/Comedian/Writer/Actor who most recently starred as the bandleader on CBS’s The Late Late Show with James Corden. Using his formidable voice, looping pedals, and his vast imagination, Watts blends and blurs the lines between music and comedy, wowing audiences with performances that are 100% improvised. 

Reggie’s first Netflix special Spatial released to massive critical acclaim, with the New York Times calling it “a giddy rush of escapist nonsense” and dubbing Watts “the most influential absurdist in comedy today.” The A.V. Club described Spatial as “signature Watts, meaning it’s alternately exhilarating, silly, exhausting and transcendent,” and Exclaim! Magazine called his performance “engaging, absurd, thoughtful and, most importantly, wholly unpredictable.” As a solo performer, Watts brand of musical/comedy fusion has led to sold out headlining tours in the U.S. and Europe, including festivals such as Bonnaroo, SXSW, Bumbershoot, Just For Laughs, Pemberton and more.

Brijean

Brijean is the duo of percussionist and singer-songwriter Brijean Murphy and multi-instrumentalist and producer Doug Stuart, and together they make dance music for the mind, body and soul, evoking 70s disco, 90s house and sly pop sensibilities.

Their debut album Feelings arrived via Ghostly International in February 2021, a golden-hued dream pop tropicalia of dazzling beats and honeyed vocals; remixes from Buscabulla, Sam Gendel, DRAMA and Rick Wade followed.

In August of 2022 they released Angelo — an EP, named after Murphy's recently purchased 1981 Toyota Celica, featuring nine songs Brijean have crafted and carried with them through a period of profound change, loss, and relocation. It finds them processing the impossible the only way they know how: through rhythm and movement. The months surrounding Feelings, which celebrated tender self-reflection and new possibilities, rang bittersweet with the absence of touring and the sudden passing of Murphy's father and both of Stuart's parents. In a haze of heartache, the duo left the Bay Area to be near family, resetting in four cities in under two years. Their to-go rig became their traveling studio and these tracks, along with Angelo, became their few constants. Whereas Feelings formed over collaborative jams with friends, Angelo's sessions presented Murphy and Stuart a chance to record at their most intimate, "to get us out of our grief and into our bodies," says Murphy. They explored new moods and styles, reaching for effervescent dance tempos and technicolor backdrops, vibrant hues in contrast to their more somber human experiences. Angelobeams with positivity and creative renewal — a resourceful, collective answer to "what happens now?"

Adam Ten

Hailing from Tel Aviv, Adam Ten is a rare talent in the music scene. For the last 12 years, Adam has shaped and developed his own unique sounds and has become one of the leading names in the underground scene of the Mediterranean city of lights.

As a DJ, he's prone to play all-nighters, floating with the crowd and taking them on a smooth journey, fluently mixing a wide rage of genres: from tribal to deep techno to house to Indie dance and a touch of world music. Being jauntily versatile, always postive, and describing himself as a primarilty curious DJ, he will never fail to spice up the gig and create a smashing atmosphere for a broad range of audience.

Festival Guidelines

o DON'T dress like authentic-looking law enforcement, fire department, or security personnel.While it might seem like a fun idea to mimic the outfits of our Santa Barbara PD, believe us, you won't get far. Allow law enforcement to do their jobs, so everybody has the best and safest experience possible!

o DON'T apply full-face makeup that makes you unrecognizable. We've got to be able to recognize that face on your ID to let you in-otherwise. How do we know it's really you?

o DON'T bring weapons or weapon accessories.

o DON'T include violent props. This includes crops, whips, ropes, chains, metal spikes or tethers.

o DON'T wear giant blow-up suits or props.

o DON'T incorporate offensive slogans or themes.

o DON'T wear Native American headdresses. We say it time and time again: It's cultural appropriation, so don't do it.

o DO get imaginative. As long as you're dressing within the guidelines, you're good to go!

o DO make it comfortable. When picking your costume, keep in mind mobility and stamina-as well as on/off ease in the bathroom. Trust us.

o DO get spooky. Ghosts, ghouls, skeletons -you name it!

o DO make sure you have a sturdy costume. We recommend testing out wearing your costume while dancing before heading to the event.

o DO bring a jacket. Halloween tends to get a tad chilly at night, so we recommend incorporating a jacket (or cloak, cape, etc.) into your costume.

o DO have fun with it!
