Distinct Motive is a Canadian producer/DJ creating explorative, visceral bass music for the masses. He quickly made a name for himself with his dark and minimal production style. Paying homage to the early aesthetic of dubstep while building a sound unique unto himself, he has put his respective hometown of Toronto on the map in international bass music circles, advocating for the original, dub-influenced side of dubstep to elated audiences across North America and Europe.

Originally from the Middle East, Don Jamal has made a name for himself in the West Coast Dub Scene. Notable shows include, support for Of The Trees, Skream, Mr. Carmack, all being sold out shows. Notable Label releases include: Deep Dark and Dangerous, Space Yacht and Phuture Collective. His sets aim to take you on a journey and include many genres with his own twist.

A vibrant journey through the spirit of the season, brilliantly guided by our special guest Divine, The Bearded Lady. An evening blending beloved holiday classics with a fresh, defiant flair, along with contemporary arrangements, shimmering with unapologetic authenticity and celebrating the pure delight of being truly seen within our community.
