Avi Loud is a multidisciplinary artist born and raised in Seattle, now living in LA. Coming from a musical family, his passions for music and artistry are natural and undeniable. Responding to a void of underground music and alternative spaces in the nightlife in Seattle, he co-founded the Prototype Sessions collective in 2016, which produced pop-up shops and unique dance/art parties at Kremwerk / Q Nightclub (Seattle) and the Ace Hotel (LA). In 2019 Avi went on to throw his own events: Joogie Nights – a multi-genre dance party, spawning Heck World Radio – a live-streamed house party, along with the release of his first EP “The Joog Knight”. In 2021 he released 2 projects, “Flower Chased The Sunshine” (a footwork heavy EP) / “Realmfest” (an album tribute to various underground dance music styles); his mixes having been featured on KEXP, Worldwide FM and C89.5 FM in Seattle, Boxout.fm (India) and NTS & Dublab (LA). Avi’s “Breezy” (from 2nd EP) was featured as KEXP’s Song of The Day in 2021. He is also a member of the Houseparty Seattle collective, a group of DJs and producers from the PNW. http://www.aviloud.com
Miguel Rockwell is a veteran of Seattle’s thriving music scene. As a longtime MC and DJ he has a vast knowledge of Classic Soul, Hip-Hop and R&B music while always maintaining a grasp on current sounds to keep the dance floor movin’ no matter the crowd or type of venue. Miguel began B-boying at age 5 and started rhyming in 1988. Born and raised in Seattle, Rockwell is known as one third of the group “Clockwork” for his rapid-fire delivery and blend of amusing one-liners infused with pop culture references. As a founding member of “The Milkmen DJs” he strives to bring a diverse flow of genres and styles to the music scene every time he’s rocking a party. With an ever-present focus on “schooling” listeners through a mix of classic joints, throwback vibes and cutting-edge bangers, Rockwell is proud to be an innovator among DJs today. http://www.miguelrockwell.com/ | https://www.facebook.com/themilkmen206
