RP Boo, born Kavain Space is a man who is revered and respected amongst the dance music cognoscenti. Starting in the Chicago dance and house music community during the 1990s, he has since earned the respected title of “Godfather of Footwork”, the fast, repetitive, rhythmically syncopated music & dance style that’s a grandchild of Chicago house. With a consistent catalog on Planet Mu, RP Boo continues to bring his dynamic and engaging sets to crowds all over the world.
Maxubishi is a Columbia, Missouri DJ whose path started accidentally, digging through dollar bins while tagging along on resourcing trips for his wife’s vintage clothing shop, Maude Vintage. What began as just digging, turned into a full blown creative practice shaped by curiosity, instinct, and a love for the rooms in which he’s been asked to play in.
A true accidental DJ, Maxubishi approaches every set with a digger’s mindset rather than a genre agenda. His vinyl-only selections move freely across eras and moods, creating warm, human, and intuitive musical narratives.
Rooted in Columbia’s creative community, Maxubishi brings an exploratory, analog‑minded energy to every room he plays — guided by feeling and affect and grounded in the joy of discovery.

Each year the fest serves as a summer home to Grammy Award winning ensemble-in-residence Alarm Will Sound who perform the work of two distinguished guest Composers. This year the festival welcomes as a guest composer JLin - one of the most distinctive composers in America and one of the most influential women in modern electronic music, whose work builds from the Chicago footwork foundations laid by RP Boo!
