After what’s already become the start of a great year for Subphonix, we have another big night of talented DJs to light up the stage. Los Angeles based DJ and scene veteran Jo-S headlines the show with a trail of success in the wake of his recent creative endeavors. With some of his work recently featured on DJ Friction’s label Shogun Limited, Atlantic Connection’s Westbay International, & Doc Scott’s 31 Records, he’s got a lot of hard work backing that success.
