About DJ B.A.:
Hailing from Youngsville NC, this country boy embraced everything from rock, hip hop, country, east coast rap, and R&B.  After the Navy in 2004, DJ B.A.’s musical knowledge and selection exploded, adding musical genres from across the U.S to the islands. Traveling the world and living overseas added electronic dance music, house music, afro beats, UK Grime, Neo Soul, and even Arabic music to his repertoire. This turntablist loves to perform and entertain the crowd.

About Qemist:
From a young age, Memphis-based producer and DJ Qemist has had a taste for innovative electronic dance music. Blending genres like underground house, jersey club, ballroom house, and footwork, Qemist is carving out his niche and finding a place in the vast utopia of internet producer/DJs while also leaving his mark.

Taking influence from a plethora of artists such as Geotheory, DJ Rashad, Jungle, Kaytranada, and LSDXOXO, Qemist has honed into his own lane of genre-bending electronica. His first project ‘9 Club’ released under Rare Nnudes Music was a pivotal shift in his overall style of music making. It was then that Qemist really started to experiment with more off-kilter sounds, smooth melodies, and deconstructed beat patterns. The EP has earned him numerous accolades and has even been compared to the works of Clams Casino and Aphex Twin.

Since its release, Qemist has continued to hone his sound and create genre-breaking music. In 2017, Qemist released his ‘Warm. Volume. Theory’ EP on Future-Everything and continues to release mixes through the label.
