Druids: Formed in 2008, Des Moines, Iowa’s metal trio, Druids, set out to create music that was loud, crushing and beautiful, while painting lush, vast pathways for imaginative soundscapes. � They laid their destructive groundwork over two releases, ‘Pray For Water’ and ‘The Sound of Meditation’ (2009 and 2013, respectively), continually looking to push their own personal boundaries, physically and sonically. � With the release of 2016’s ‘Cycles of Mobeum’, the boys embarked on a full year of heavy touring all over the United States, giving audiences in unsuspecting cities a heavy, cathartic live show, awash with wailing guitar solos, rhythmic drumming and chunky, grooving bass-lines. In short, with heads banging in unison, it was safe to say that Druids was well-received. � They took to the studio in early 2017 to record their follow up, ‘Spirit Compass’ with producer, Brandon Darner (David Keuning, Radio Moscow), to shape what would be a smoldering follow-up to ‘Cycles’. � The band spent most of 2017 and 2018 touring in support of ‘Spirit Compass’, while writing and recording their biggest record to date, ‘Monument’ with the record label The Company. The release provides five songs at a 30 minute run-time, proving to be the trio’s most confident and explorative effort to date. � With the backing of Atomic Music Group, heavy new tunes and a killer live show, Druids show no signs of stopping any time soon.

DJ Uncle Willy: Raised in the roller rink since birth, and finely seasoned in the streets and clubs of New York City, DJ Uncle Willy aka Willy Muse is the king of vibes, the boss of beats, and the shaman of booty shakers. Come witness his return to his natural habitat as he spins everything from classic rink jams to modern bops that will have you rolling past the booth yelling “what was that song?!”
